Name them...

Also, a seperate list of top 5 you can at least occasionally find in Baton Rouge or Louisiana (depending on your location)



Top 5 (INPO)
Cantillon Zwanze 2010
Cantillon Classic Gueuze
Allagash Curieux
Weissenohe Monk's Fest
Professor Fritz Briem 1809 Berliner Weisse



Top 5 (or 6) found in BR (INPO)
Professor Fritz Briem 1809 Berliner Weisse
NOLA Irish Channel Stout
Chimay Red
Ayinger Celebrator
Orval
Racer 5 IPA




Trying to think if I'm missing something, but I think it's a damn fine list regardless. I may sneak something in there later.

Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous Ale

Top 5 in BR... (or 6, because the SSR above can be found here...)

I know I'm missing some and leaving some off... I've tried Pliny The Elder and a few other Russian River brews but I had been drinking that day. Yeti is an old standby that I could easily include... this could go on for a long time.

I have a beer rating app. Of the hundreds of beers I've tried, only five have 5 stars.

These guys put out killer brew until they hit the lottery and got out of the business. A true story...

My European beer palette is somewhat limited, so all of my best beers are American or American interpretations.

Anchor Steam
Sierra Nevada Torpedo
Highland Cold Mountain Ale (2009)
New Belgium Le Terrior (2011)
Yazoo Sue (2009)

Anchor Steam and SN Torpedo, IMO, are perfect examples of their styles. No added frills or unique flavors - just the basics done right.

That pumpkinator was probably one of the best beers i've had.

And Ola Dubh is one of my favorites as well, but expensive. $12-15 for 1 12 oz.

Kind of why I didn't put it up. It's very good but not a fair price to me.
