Subject to change, but at the moment:

1. Three Floyds Zombie Dust
2. Founders Harvest
3. Firestone Walker Easy Jack (really, I like all the FW -- Double Jack, Wookey Jack -- I've had)

In no particular order:

Zombie Dust*
Brother Thelonious
Palo Santo Marron

* I've come to the realization that 3Floyd's is probably the best brewery in the US, if not the world. Sounds crazy, but they've finished top 5 in the world on BeerAdvocate's list something like 4 out of the last 6 years (someone check my facts), and a couple of those they finished #1. Dark Lord is the most sought after beer in the world year in and year out. They do it right. A lot of brewing talent in that family.

Guinness, if I start off drinking a Guinness it'll be all I drink all night cause everything else taste so stale or watery afterwords.

Zombie dust and Sucks are a steady 1-2 for me. I go through phases on what is probably 3 but right now it's Flying Dog Bloodline

Would really like to try some zombie dust but can find it in Cali where I live. Anyone take paypal and will shit it for me? Dying to try it because of all your reviews.

Well if you're into that sort of thing...

I'll keep my eyes open and holler at you if I can get a 6-pack. How many bottles are you wanting? It flies off the shelves, but every now and then you can grab it if you get there at the right time.

Had an Einstok toasted porter a few weeks ago. Best beer I've ever had, bar none.

Sad isn't it. I sometimes hate clicking on this thread because I know when I keep hearing about a good beer on here chances are that I won't be able to find it!

You have access to Ziegenbock you bastage! Haven't had it in a few years, but I used to love that stuff.

I'll trade for Zombie Dust. But really, just come down to Week 1 next year. There will be plenty of that.

Care to share some that I should try, I enjoy everything.

I'm not an expert on West Coast beers. PKT is the man I trust most here. Where are you on the west coast?

I'm up in Seattle, Fremont is my favorite local. Elysian and Redhook are both good as well.

Fort George is my favorite from Oregon.

Ballast Point from San Diego is my favorite California brewery.

I will bite
Easy to find
Knee Deep Simtra
Knee Deep Hoparillo
Elysian Space Dust or Dayglow
Knee Deep Breaking Bud
(I have heard that Knee Deep Lupulin River is great but I have not had it).

Harder to find
Any hoppy Alpine brewery beer (their non hoppy beers are just ok), Nelson, Duet, Pure hoppiness, etc.
Bottle Logic Double Actuator
Hanger 24 Barrel Roll Series (various types of beer aged in oak)
The Breury Tart of Darkness (A sour stout)

Hardest to find
Russian River Pliny the Elder
Russian River Blind Pig IPA
Russian River (any of their sours which are probably the best sours out there)
Kern River Citra Double IPA

That is off the top of my head. Very heavy on the hoppy beers as that is my favorite style and that is what CA is known for. If you want more suggestions, just let me know.

ETA: I left off things like Stone Enjoy By, Green Flash, Ballast Point, as they are available almost everywhere. If you want more options like that let me know.


EETA: This is if you live in CA. If not, give me an area to work with.

Go to the nearest Whole Foods. The have a great selection of micro brews. Also, Lucky's has begun carrying craft beers so that's worth a shot too.

Thank you, I have a Bevmo by my house so I usually go there but I will go by Whole Foods and check that out.

If you think finding good beer where you live hard, I'll gladly welcome you to the beer wasteland known as South Dakota, especially the central part
