Pretty poor list IMO. Many of the clearly recognized best brews in America, such as Three Floyd's Darklord, Founder's Kentucky Breakfast Stout, Goose Island's IPA don't make the list, when there's little doubt they beat the piss out of the likes of almost every beer on the list.

As far as Great Lakes goes, while Burning River definitely deserves its spot, there's no doubt in my mind Blackout deserves to be well above Holy Moses (which is decent). Its too bad CP went year-round instead of Blackout IMO.

You realize that people have different taste buds right? So getting the list to be perfect for everyone is impossible. That being said, I haven't tried any of these. I guess I can probably find most of them online. OP should edit the post to point to websites to the beers that are purchasable online. Just a thought.

I'm well aware that people have different taste (else $hit like Bud Light would never be made or consumed). That being said, Darklord tops beeradvocate and a number of other beer sites, yet doesn't even appear on the list. Its not as if the guy doesn't like stouts, which appear at the 6, 10, & 24 spots. To be honest, it looks like the guy has never tried any of the limited release/seasonal lineups of some of the best breweries in the world. I turned 21 last July... if I can get my hands on them with a $13/hr. intern position, he sure can too.

Yea Dart, Blackout is top-notch. This year's batch is just plain fantastic. I made sure to clean out a couple of local places and still have 14 bottles of them left. I'm very much hoping that with the additional revenue from wider distribution as significantly increased sales they'll be able to take Blackout year round sometime soon.
