Message blipp beers 14843 º places 219 º 18:26 Mon 1/2/2017 For me, a few #juice IPAs from Modern Times -- Centaur Gardens and Roots of Coincidence were my two highest rated beers of the year, and it seemed like they were releasing a great new IPA at least once a month.
Message SarkyNorthener beers 5200 º places 142 º 18:40 Mon 1/2/2017 Best beer was https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/green-flash-flanders-drive/191373/. It was superb stuff and another reason why Green Flash is my favourite brewery at the moment. Most memorable was https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/steel-city-her-ghost-in-the-fog/397611/. Ratebeerians with over 200k of rates between us all said it was the hottest beer ever. It wasn’t even a gold.

I went to their tasting room a few times this year, but haven’t made it to their barrel room for some reason yet. Best I had from them this year is this one -- https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/alpine-beer-company-hfs/302180/

Message SinH4 P beers 15466 º places 416 º 19:18 Mon 1/2/2017 I am very thankful that I got to try Schlenkerla from the wooden barrel a few times. It’s just so different from the bottle. It really grew on me, and now it’s a perfect 5 in my book. Also, some New England Hazy IPAs, finally some Speedway variants (Vietnamese is incredible, and BA was a bit of a disappointment), and probably my Top beer of 2016: Stille Nacht Reserva 2010. And I am very grateful for Hommage, Zenne y Frontera, Armand & Gaston, Hunahpu and Börb’nåhallon. So many wants!

Message Homer321 P beers 5369 º places 54 º 19:22 Mon 1/2/2017 Pliney the Younger Great beer Great beer buddies Great time More about the experience than the beer. Beer that sticks out in my mind the most is probably Bottle Logic Fundamental Observation from Hunahpu Day. Epic.
