What's your Top 5?

The blogger over at The Drunken Polack had an interesting idea: Name your top five favorite craft beers of all time. Do it quickly, don't overthink it and don't revise your answer.

Here's what I came up with, in no particular order:

Deschutes Mirror Pond Pale Ale
Avery IPA
Deschutes The Dissident
Stone Levitation
Russian River Damnation

I noticed I neglected all of the great dark beers out there. That probably has something to do with it being a hot July day. I also struggle with the complete lack of Durango beers. I don't intend that as a slight to our local brewers, who make many fine beers. That's just what I thought up in about 30 seconds.

What is your top 5? Please leave a comment.

    My preferences change too often...
