I expected to see some Coffee Bender on here.
 
Founder's Hand of Doom is a really good hoppy beer. I should have made a stout and IPA list. I didn't see the wish list when I first posted.
 
Wish list:
FW any anniversary
Kate the Great
Surly Darkness
Any Westy  (might fix this in the summer)
More KBS
 
In no particular order:
 
Pliny the Elder
Racer 5
Cafe Racer 15
Laugunitas Sucks
Eye of the Hawk
 
Lagunitas Sucks is a damn fine beer! This should have been a top ten list. So hard to limit it to only five beers.

Add a few more then.  Honestly, it's so overwhelming going into a liquor store and trying to figure out what to guy.  Between you and Jimmy (emoshun) I've got a pretty good start, but damn there are a ton of beers out there.  A lot of places won't ship to the bible belt either.
 
I've not had any on anyone's top 5........but will work on that this weekend!
 
Usually when I drink beer (more of a hard brown liquor guy, really) I go with one of Shiner's seasonal releases (the current FM966 Farmhouse Ale is quite tasty) but of fancier fare that I've tried, the three that really, REALLY stand out are:
 
Delirium Nocturnum
Samuel Adams Chocolate Bock
Chimay Blue
 
~Boar

I bet everyone here would ship to the bible belt.
 
Speaking of Bible Belt, Prairie is set to release their collaboration with Evil Twin this weekend.  I've read it's Even More Jesus, with the Prairie adjuncts added:
 
"Prairie Bible Belt is described as “a blend of Bomb! and Evil Twin’s Even More Jesus with an extra kick to raise the fun level!”
 
We'll see if I can find any on Monday, when it should be on the shelves.
 
Westy 12
Rochefort 10
Deschutes The Abyss
Terrapin Wake N Bake
Ten Fidy/Stone RIS tied for 5th
 
Honorable mention to Guinness at the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin.  It's pretty amazing to drink it at the source.  Cigar City also needs a mention for overall greatness, but I haven't had any of their legendary beers yet.
