List your top ten beers

[cdif911]

just saw Cape Ann brewing company (Fisherman's Ale makers) opened a brew pub in conjunction with their brewery, very interested in trying it

You've got a great list there, and you seem to know your preferences. 
Since moving here to Berkeley, California, I have developed a real taste for hoppy beers.

Here is my rough list, but in no particular order:

1. Lagunitas IPA (my current favorite, for about 2 years running now)
2. Arrogant B__stard (a close second, and rapidly rising -- note that I can't write the real name on this forum)
3. Stone IPA
4. 21st Amendment IPA in a can Lagunitas Maximus (Lagunitas puts out a whole bunch of interesting beers...)
5. Bison Brewing IPA
6. Bison Chocolate Stout
7. Deschutes Mirror Pond (and old favorite of mine)
8. Whatever is on cask at a bar with cask conditioned beers
9. Guinness (roots, baby, roots)
10. PBR (hate to be a copy cat, but I gotta put it on here because I love it when it is hot out and nothing else of note is on tap)


I am a big fan of the Long Trail beers and the Ipswich Ale is also good, so those would be somewhere from 11-15.

Okay, I just tried a can of 21st Amendment's "Brew Free or Die" IPA.  That's right, a *can*.  Pretty awesome.  It is good, not as hoppy as I like, but the fact that it is in a can raises its overall value IMHO.  At this point it might come in around #4 on my list, bumping Lagunitas Maximus off (I figure its okay, Lagunitas IPA already gets props as #1)...

Guys, you gotta try SAN MIGUEL beer!  Best beer brewed in Asia.  Also brewed in Barcelona, Spain!

Hey, cans are a superior packaging for beer; beer gets skunked when it gets struck by light, cans prevent that.  But, it's more expensive to set up a canning plant that a bottling plant, so most micros use bottles.  Plus, there's the snob factor.

Imported beers, especially, should be bought in cans whenever possible.

Yep and I'll just keep drinking bud hah.
