Lagunitas is better than Sierra Nevada without question...IMO. Both are great brews, though.

Not sure how far Deschutes supply chain reaches, but they do not make a bad beer and their inversion IPA certainly bears proof of that. Best brewery out there.

Very subjective and subject to availability - not sure what's available nationwide. But, I love beer, so here's mine:

1. Stone "Drink By"
2. Jai Alai by Cigar City
3. 21st Amendment
4. Westbrook
5. Uinta Hop Nosh

Never had Pliny or Heady Topper, some day.

1. Bell's Two Hearted
2. Founders Centennial
3. Founders All Day IPA
4. Dogfish 60 Minute - I like it better than the 90

Ballast Point Sculpin


Cat knows what's up...

I wasn't sure if this was nationwide yet. Glad to hear it is, the guys at Ballast Point are really cool.

Avery Maharaja is really good as well.

Ballast Point


I was pretty disappointed in the Sculpin after hearing so much hype over it. And the price point here in Bama is a huge turn off. It's $12.99 a six pack(or was a few months ago) while Two Hearted is usually around $10, and a local IPA(Good People) is $8.99, both of which I enjoy more. I didn't hate the Sculpin, I just expected more i guess.

I did like one of Ballast Points other beers, but I'm drawing a blank on which one it was.
