That's quite the triad. How do you rank them?

They are all a bit different but last night probably Pilny, Liberator, Hopslam. In the past i've always thought hands down Hopslam was the best but this year it seems quite weak on hop aroma and flavor. I will try a Hopslam again today with a fresh pallate. Shorts Liberator is a monster as well. Very impressed with them latey after a rocky start to our relationship.

Yeah not a bad impromptu wed night!

Hopslam definitely didn't have as much slam this year but I think our palettes were ruined after the liberator

Pliny wins

Maybe I was thinking of Founders. Come to think of it I had Hopslam on tap at a Whole Foods in Orlando. Sorry fellas.

First and foremost: Archer is the greatest show of all time. If y'all aren't watchin' this, you be missin' out...

Founders Bolt Cutter. I've read a lot about this and there's a lot of criticism online - I think it's warranted. A hot, syrupy, boozy mess. And somehow I still like it. But I capped it, and then moved on to...

SN Narwhal: good, but nothing outstanding. Would not seek it out again.
