Yeah, I know. There’s twenty-something days left in the year and things could change, but before everyone gets wrapped up in the holiday spirit/chaos take a minute and think: what was your favorite beer this year? Bonus points for why.
Mine: Cigar City Final Push (Ratebeer / BA). As to why, there’s a couple reasons. Since the first couple sips I knew this would be one of my top beers. By the end of the glass it had made it to the top of the list. Also, I had the pleasure of sharing this with friends at a good friend’s bachelor party at my local (and highly rated) beer bar, Redlight Redlight.

Racer 5 IPA. One reason why this was my favorite beer this year has to do with it being a local brew (Healdsburg, CA), but it’s also just so damn delicious…
Dude, I know you!
Definitely a solid choice. Also something I can’t get here but have just about every time I’m out that way.

Titan IPA from Great Divide. I still remember the taste allthough it was two months ago that I had the pleasure.

Not sure I can pick a favorite but this is a nice little list to work through: http://hoochandhops.com/2010/12/09/wine-enthusiast-drops-their-top-25-beers/
I would have to say Fullers London Porter, one because I love it’s flavor, two, because on several memorable occasions in 2010 it was my beer of choice.
While attending a wedding in Key West my wife and I stumbled on a pub called “Finnegan’s Wake” where I enjoyed a London Porter priro to a short sail around the bay with the wedding party.
London Porter came up again when I ordered a pint at a local English Pub known as “Penny Lane” which serves it on tap, I had a few prior to a Dashboard Confessional concert that was a great experience.
