Picked up some Dogfish Head Imerial IPA (Burton baton) and some DFH Pangea. Both awesome beer. DFH and Avery are really becoming my go to beer. Anyone else try those yet?

Yes.

Neither is a go-to beer for me.

Dogfish is better than most of the mass produced brew, but go to? Nope.

Not even close.

This is my favorite brewer. Those are my Top 3 made by them.

I've never really gotten into the unique. Good beet, just not my favorite.

I'd love to know what everyone thinks is their favs

I like #4

Homebrew,,,

My go to beer,,

wheel,

beer is much like a BJ--even when its bad, it's good.

Haven't found an IPA I really like yet.Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyy too hoppy for me.

Ron

^I never cared for IPA either until I tried the Lagunitas.

Try the one I said (Burton baton). It is an oak aged imperial ipa so it is less hoppy but has some sweetness to it. Once you get above double/90 min ipa's the flavor loses the super skunkiness and shifts towards the sweet and complex.

Deschutes makes a North West Pale Ale thats ok, I'm not big into IPA's myself. Alaska Brewing has become my goto as of late....Great Winter and Oatmeal Stout!

^1 Avery outta CO? Are you in CO? Is Avery national now?

I do enjoy the hoppy beers. IPA's are good and I enjoy many different kinds. I prefer the Porter's. I like most home brews I've tried (don't home brew myself - yet). I enjoy Black Butte Porter a great deal. It's better on tap than the bottle but I'll drink the bottle any day.....

Chief, who makes the Black Butte?

Believe it's Deschutes Brewery in Bend, Oregon.

One of the best locals I've tried is Montana's Big Sky Brewery's Moose Drool..............I love a good brown ale and this one is excellent IMHO.American brown ale's seem to get more and more scarce every year..........and it's one of my favorite styles.

^17 Ahhhhh yes, your right.

^18 Moose Drool is very good, Big Sky Brewing makes some fine beer if I do say so myself.

DB - in Chicago we have a great store(Binny's) which carries everything. Avery has some amazing brews (especially collaboration notnlitagation, Mephistopheles, beast, and Samuel - which are all amazing 12+% beers)
