wow, stone enjoy by and 90 min made the top 10? wow. they are good solid beers but top 10? thats the thing about beer or food or women .... to each his own. there is no right or wrong in the world of personal preference.

I had Monument City's Battle IPA at the Maryland Craft Brew Festival a few weeks back. I had the first pour off the cask that day, and could possibly be the first person outside the brewery to have it. From what I remember (memory is a bit hazy from that day. Sampled 20+ beers that afternoon), it was very very good. But also heard they are not bottling it...
Here are some of the different things I've had lately...I tend to post everything in Untappd, so if you don't have the app yet, get it and follow all of us who post here...there.
Have 2 bombers (one in fridge, one aging) of the Points Unknown IPA from Stone/Wicked Weed/Ecliptic. Good stuff. Be careful. It's an easy drinker and if you don't sip, you'll miss how complexly good it really is.
Heavy Seas' Blackbeard's Breakfast. Nice porter.
Union Double Duckpin. Quality DIPA. Love the fact that it drinks so nicely out of a can. Nice to see a lot of craft beers going the can route. Something about drinking out of a can in the summer time.
Mispillion River Reach Around IPA. Only distributed in DE. Drinks nicely out of the can. Reminded me of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Could be my go to drinker at the beach.
New Holland Mad Hatter. The pine smell alone makes this worth trying. I really liked this.
