True. This list is a national list I think. Beers that are widely distributed. Pliney the elder is amazingly good.

Yeah I take "lists" with a grain of salt.
This particular list had many I have tried and many I never heard of. Of the ones I tried some were of no surprise to make the list and oters I thought "really"? Like Clogston said the Ruthless Rye I could do without alltogether....but in the end it's all a matter of taste and thats all that matters to each individual. I absolutelty love some beers while my friends will hate them and visa vesra. Thats the beauty of having options. To me beer "lists" are new suggestions to try, maybe even a challenge. For example I absolutelty LOVE Sierra Celebration come winter, but in summer I want something else. Does it desreve number one or top ten? No, even though I love it. This is the beauty of the craft beer revolution (if you will). So many options and I love to try as many as I can but there are always the ones I cant help going back too. Sometimes they are not the most "prestigious" either. For example whenever I have Long Trail ales I say "why dont I buy these more often"? Overall I think they are a good staple and good beer but they never make "the lists"

Having both the pliney and heady topper side by side recently, to me heady is much better but lower rated by far.

My problem with beer advocate's rating system is that the harder to find beers get fewer ratings than the easy to find beers. As a result the average ratings become non comparable. One bad review of heady topper equals 50 bad reviews of Pliney.

I was going to ask how hard it was to find Pliney around here - I guess not even possible? I've never even seen the Heady Topper in any packies I frequent - my only one was a gift from one of our members here.
