Picking favorite beers is like picking your favorite child.  You want to say that they’re all good, but sometimes one just makes you smile a bit more inside.  This ranking is based strictly on taste and judged by the type of beer.  My taste buds seem to prefer IPAs (especially hazy), nutty stouts and German style beers and my rankings will most likely lean that way.

Only 1 Rule:   I must have bought the beer in the city that it was brewed regardless of when and where I drink it.  But I won’t rate beers that I didn’t purchase myself.
