    In no particular order because it's just too tough:

    Bodhi
    Super Fresh Hop
    Nut Smasher
    Oro Negro
    Evelyn
    A Token of Our Extreme
    BB Brick Kiln Nuts
    Dark Apparition Nuts
    Kentucky Monk
    Hop Juju

    So, 2 CBC beers, 1 Willoughby beer, 1 Fat Head's beer, and 6 Jackie O's beers,. Call me a Jackie O's homer, but those 6 are outstanding beers.

    Honorable mention for BA Jackhammer, Oil of Aphrodite Kopi, Creeper, BA Chickow, Cinnamon Roll Chickow

    Mine will look different, but hey... I'm including one offs, mainly because they were some of the best beers I've had to date.

    1. Dynamo Hum
    2. Anastasia w/ Cherries
    3 Tie. Roller Blabe
    3 Tie. Konkey Dong
    5. Coffee Thunderball
    6. Hop Juju
    7. Anastasia
    8. Clear Sky
    9. Wulver
    10. Cognac Dark Apparition

    There are plenty more that I have liked/loved, but those are the best I've had to date from this state, either in their respective style or just overall to my palate. YMMV.

    I agree with the Libre. The last 2 times I had a draft, it was honestly close to Ju Ju. This bottled version is not. Distinctly different.

    1) DORIS
    2) Port Barrel Aged Karminator
    3) Baltic Argonaut
    4) Infusion C (before they changed the recipe and renamed it Killa Vanilla, which is all right but not great)
    5) Infusion A (seems to be a theme here, so this is my liquid Buckeye of choice)
    6) Uninhibited Brett Pale Ale
    7) South of Eleven or Konkey Dong (would like to do a side by side)
    8) Cultrider (best Black IPA I've had by miles)
    9) White Rajah (I would have said All for One, but this year's batches are different and less flavorful than the first batch)
    10) Old Leghumper

    Everyone already knows where I lean, so I knocked a few off since I was originally just going by ratings, which wasn't working for me, but it's still lopsided. :slight_smile:

    Some of my OH favs:

    Brew Kettle Kitka
    Ed Fitz
    Willoughby Pnut Cup Porter
    Siberian Night
    North High Milk Stout

    A couple of these I picked up last week when I was in Cleveland. Also have a couple of BA Brick Kiln that I got; very much looking forward to that one.

    I've seen numerous mentions of Alpenglow so far and I wish I could get into that style but it's really hard for me to finish a glass of it. Just not my thing.
