    Picking up fresh Fantasy Factory from Karben4 or getting a fresh shipment of pseudoSue is awesome. Love those beers. But local to MKE, Lakefront IPA is solid when super fresh.

    Even though its about a 2 hour drive in the early morning, getting a fresh case of Heady Topper is among my favorite moments. Every single sip is like the first one. So far, the best Double IPA I've had. Which, for me, is saying something, because I'm borderline obsessed with Stone's beers.

    I'll add Trillium, Mystic and Idle Hands/Enlightenment to the list as well.

    I've heard that Treehouse Julius in particular is better after a week or two in the can. I have a growler we'll be drinking Saturday that is 3 weeks old. Hopefully that holds true.

    You're bringing it? That's freakin' excellent - they ran out after two people when I went last week (I was #52 in line, not a chance in hell). FWIW, I'm in Detroit today and tomorrow on business... going to bring back some Bell's Uranus, maybe a little bit of other Michigan stuff. Already have 7 cans of Two-Hearted in the fridge, plus a growler of Green and a bunch of Tree House Lights On.

    nice. I still have a few Second Fiddles/Bissell Brothers/Foundation cans we'll go through as well. I might be crashing on your couch with Oliver.

    I ran out of the Jester King stuff, but may or may not have another box from my friend in Austin with JK and Prairie. It'll cut it close.

    Jack's Abby growlers. There is a style for every mood, season, and occasion. I have to constantly talk myself out of going because we don't get a lot of company and I really shouldn't be drinking a growler by myself... although they make at least a couple that make the ABV math pretty close.

    I only get the bigger growlers if I know I have people to share with. Otherwise it's 32oz/750ml. Those I can at least finish in one sitting if neeed.

    It's not canned (yet...soon, very soon) but for me it's Todd the Axeman. No contest.

    Trillium. I live close so I'm able to get fresh hoppy beers right when their released. Congress Street and Melcher Street fresh are fantastic.

    In Boston, it's definitely got to be either Night Shift Santilli or Maine Beer Co. Another One.

    Wicked Weed Freak is a beautiful thing but keg only.

    Jade is a close second and agree with the sentiment that HDnR has fallen off.
