Best beer

Hoptimum is about 10%ABV -- go easy! O'Dell's Mercenary another fine big pale, tho perhaps not as good as Hoptimum. Founder's is making a lot of good big beers (the exception being their unfortunate Hazelnut Coffee flavred offering).

John - Agree on Founders. Nearly every flavor is very big and good. Us beer imbibers live in an amazing time with so many terrific choices out there these days. I feel like a kid in a candy store sometimes.

Let us not forget the ultimate in bourbon barrel oak, an aged rye beer. Ale Industries - FYSUS mmmmm tasty!

Great thread! I do like the whiskey barrel stouts. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is also awesome after a hot day at work. After slammin one of these ease into a lighter wheat or whatever.
