    I've had 11 of those.

    I think he is missing a few, and I think a few of those are overrated.

    I would have included Heady Topper, Cantillion Fou Foune, Hill Farmstead Abner, and The Lost Abbey Duck Duck Gooze. Maybe even some Cigar City.

    But alas, beer rankings are all subjective. Right now the highly rated beers are mostly big stouts and hoppy DIPAs. I find the complexity of sours or wild ales to be more appealing, thus I will always rate those higher.

    Didn't see the Dogfish Head 120min IPA on that list... seemed like a stout lovers review on beers...

    Was at an Oktoberfest near my hunting camp this weekend ($25 all you can drink), they had ST Warlock on tap, it's so damn good.

    Summer Shandy? Beer mixed with lemonade? I think there must be something in the Bible that forbids that. If there isn't, there ought to be.

    This will be in my fridge as soon as I can get to the store. This is a serious good brew. Galaxy hops from Australia are delicious. Willing to send a few bottles if anyone wants to try that doesn't have access. [​IMG]

    Hooker that's my wife's favorite beer. I can't really get into the sour ale but ill admit it is growing on me. If you ever get the chance the New Belgium Brewery is probably one of the coolest tours I've ever been on.

    Enjoyed a solid beer from the boulevard brewery smokestack series this past weekend. I'm not huge on Belgian styles, but this one was mild on the spices and coriander and heavy on malts and molasses. I should have grabbed another bottle.

    Gotta give a plug for a solid pale from magic hat. I'm not a huge fan of most of their beers, but this is one I buy regularly. Also, they've got a pretty awesome brewery tour and for some reason I'm drawn to buy beers from breweries I've been to.

    A Belgian Trippel would be heavy with spices and coriander, while dubbels with be as you described, malty and with molasses.

    I prefer Trippels. I love spice in beers.

    I did not realize that difference in Belgian styles hooker, thanks for the information! How do Belgian quads play into that mix?
