Gun to My Head List

I'm not usually one to fill out the "top five ________ lists" on Facebook, but I did fill out my top five beers. This was virtually impossible for me! I can't pick just five. I can't ever go to the store and pick out some beer, I have to look at all my options, see if there's anything new or seasonal out, it depends on what kind of beer mood I'm in, dark, light, hoppy, Belgian, etc. In fact I rarely buy a specific beer often, I'm constantly trying out new beers or taking advantage of mix your six pack deals. Ever since I made the top five list on Facebook, I keep thinking about others I would put. So I decided to come up with a list of beers I would buy with a gun to my head...just go in to the store and grab a six pack kind of moment. These are in no order of favorites, but are simply based on these two rules:
1. I have to have had bought the beer multiple times.
2. It has to be available to me either in Minnesota, or something I could get on my frequent trips to Wisconsin or in the case of Millstream, what I have people pick me up in Iowa on a regular basis.
3. Can't be seasonals, so no Hopslam or special releases.

The categories are: Pale Ales, IPAs and Ambers, Dark beers and Belgians

Pale Ales:
1. Summit EPA
2. Millstream Iowa Pale Ale
3. Left Hand Jackman's Pale Ale
4. Stone Pale Ale
5. New Belgium Mighty Arrow Pale Ale *
* technically a seasonal...

IPAs and Amber Ales:
1. Dark Horse Crooked Tree IPA
2. Stone IPA
3. Lagunitas IPA
4. Bell's Two Hearted
5. Rush River Unforgiven Amber Ale
6. Rouge Dead Guy
7. Left Hand Sawtooth (Amber)
8. New Glarus IPA

Dark:
1. Surly Bender
2. Bell's Best Brown Ale
3. Left Hand Black Jack Porter
4. Left Hand Milkstout
5. New Glarus Fat Squirrel
6. Summit Great Northern Porter
7. Millstream Oatmeal Stout
8. Rogue Shakespeare Stout

Belgians:
1. Ommegang Three Philsophers
2. Ommegang Hennepin
3. Triple Karmaleit
4. Hoegaarden
5. New Belgium Triple
6. New Belgium Abbey
7. New Belgium Fat Tire
8. New Glarus Spotted Cow
9. Millstream's John's Generation White Ale
10. Surly Cynic Ale
11. Unibroue Fin Du Monde
12. Unibroue Maudite

So...there you go. So much more satisfying than the Facebook 5. There were more that I could have added, but didn't fit into my category of having them multiple times. If only I bought more of the same beers...but what would the fun be in that? I encourage people to create your own lists and post them on the comments. I'd love to see what others have...
Salud!
