DB is my go-to Founder's beer when I want to drink 2 pints and be drunk. Yes, I am a lightweight. :P

I really tried with DB, but even for a Scotch ale it was too sweet for me.

I've got 28 of these checked off. Pretty much drink IPA's exclusively so all those stouts, etc are a no-go. Any of you alchies hit them all? My money is on Zef.
I have had all of them except this nugget: T39. Troegs Nugget Nectar

Only had that once but remember thinking it was pretty good. Drank it right after my first and only Heady Topper so the bar was set kinda high.

Only got like 5-6 of these that I can recall tasting, but seeing Tank 7 on the list made me smile. Such a good brew.

I keep hearing so many great things: anyone with access to Founders want to set up a trade for CA stuff not available in their area? I did "Find our Beer" on their website within 1000 miles of my zipcode...nada.

I can get some great stuff from Evil Twin, Russian River, Ballast Point, Uncommon, Stone, and other CA places, and a limited selection of sours from the PNW. Difficulty: I won't be able to find Pliny and I'd really want some Breakfast Stout or, since we're playing the pipe-dream game, KBS.

Edit: looks like I'm covered, thanks everyone.

I have had all but five from the top 50:

5. Alchemist Heady Topper
11. Founders Kentucky Breakfast Stout
T39. Troegs Nugget Nectar
45. Surly Abrasive
T47. Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald

Kind of surprised by the inclusion and placement of a few. For example, I've always liked Black Butte, but never considered it a remarkable porter. Ditto for 60 Minute.

Yeah Black Butte, eh, its good but not magical good. Lists are always odd.

You need to hit someone up for some Abrasive this Winter, it should be higher IMO when fresh, it can stand toe to toe with any Double IPA out there. I may be biased...but yeah, its damn good.
