24. My best beer keeps changing, as my taste evolves.

or maybe not evolves, but simply changes. Beers I drank with gusto years ago I no longer find drinkable.

I am about to commit a sacrilege and admit that I really like a Samuel Adams beer. The Latitude 48 IPA.

and I drive by a Dogfish Head brewpub every day, (not easy to do, since there are only two of them), yet many of their beers either underwhelming, or overly thick and sweet. The 60 minute IPA is good, but there are many good IPAs.

My favorite for the past several years has been Flying Dog's Raging Bitch, a Belgian-style IPA.

What is interesting about many of the beers listed in this beer thread and others; I have never seen or heard of them anywhere. Microbreweries can be very regional.
