Man. This is hard. I can say there are a few that will consistently be a favorite for me, but many styles will rotate. I'll give it a shot off the top of my head.

APA -- Zombie Dust (shout out to One Claw because AMAZING)
Ambers -- Troegs Nugget Nectar
Brown Ale -- Surly Coffee Bender (if it counts )
IPA -- I'm gonna say Heyoka, but I've had it just once. Absolutely loved it. Would like to try again with a super fresh palate
DIPA -- Heady
Imperial Stout -- BCBS
Adjunct Stout -- Hunahpu
Porter -- Ballast Point Victory At Sea
American Wild Ale -- Supplication...but Atrial was AMAZING and might get the nod here
Quad -- Westy/ABT12
Barleywine -- Mother of All Storms
Gose -- Almanac Golden Gate Gose
Pumpkin -- CCB Good Gourd Almighty

There are more I could list and would list, and certainly could go deeper in examples for each style, but that's just off the top of my head and trying to limit myself.

ETA: I feel like this is a "Brag about the beers you've had in each category" thread. I've not had the opportunity to enjoy many that are by all accounts amazing

Three Floyds Zombie Dust (Indianapolis)
The Alchemist Heady Topper (Vermont)

Neither are available in GA. I believe ZD is available via mail order. I think Heady is only available via mule or having someone ship it to you from VT.

Zombie Dust is 3 Floyds and no it's not.

Heady is The Alchemist and no it's not.

They are beers that will change your (beer) life. Amazing stuff.

Heady is overrated or I just haven't developed a taste for rare yet.

both are over the top hop bombs that you might not be ready for yet, but I highly suggest seeking them out if you ever turn the corner on ipas.

Heady is almost, if not completely, exclusive to Vermont

Zombie Dust is in Indiana, and adjacent states

Go to Beer Advocate and start a trade thread. Or play nice with some of the more well-connected posters here. You're pretty much shite out of luck unless you're traveling.

Southern tier Choklat is one of my favorite stouts.
I have had the Breckenridge but not nitro. Ask them if they still have Prairie Bomb in the bottle. I think they still do. Absolutely incredible beer!!
