If we are going with non-distributed that is a tough question.

#1 Glass Houses by Parish (Boysenberry Sour), released only once at Parish Grands Reserve Day 2016

Great taste up front, terrible taste on the backend.

I'll try to pick 5:

Nola Lowerline
Courtyard All's Ephemeral
Parish Reve
Great Raft Grace and Grit
Gnarley Barley Korova PB Porter

ETA: It's really too hard for me to choose 5 beers, as you can tell by my 3 edits already

If I could honestly just choose 5 beers to drink, I'd probably pick the Nola Funk Series as those are my favorite beers produced in the state.

I'll keep my list to things I had in 2017 and try to spread the love a little.

DDH Ghost
Courtyard Rare Candy
GB PB Korova
US GF IPA
Maple Shade

I've got a double barrel Old Mad Joy coming so it could easily replace one.

2017 was a fantastic year for Louisiana craft beer!

Horchata Turbodog is based on one of Abita’s most popular brews, with a definite Latin twist. This robust dark ale is brewed with pale, caramel and chocolate malts, then fresh cinnamon sticks and vanilla beans are added during aging giving it a traditional horchata flavor. This gives the brew a rich body, dark color and deep flavors of chocolate, toffee, cinnamon and vanilla.
