My most consumed is likely Fuller's ESB, but Mike Duggan #9 is catching up (espeically when I buy it by the case!).

Probably either Mill St Stock or tankhouse...only because it's easy to pick up kegs to put in the keg fridge. Wish Ontario had a better system of distributing kegs....my rotation would be much more varied.

I did not drink a lot of any beer in particular this year...but I would bet that it comes down to Peche Mortel, Rochefort 10, Creemore lager and Steamwhistle.

Out: MacLean's Pale Ale (it's on tap at the Done Right Inn, my local)

LCBO: Fullers ESB ... each sip makes me want to return to London ASAP.

Hoptical has been my go to alot in the last few months. I think it's a tie between that and either Sierra Nevada(Torpedo/Celebration).

On draft, it was Stratford Pilsner by a long chalk owing to many pleasant afternoons on the patio at Ronnie's Local 069.

Packaged was a toss-up amongst King Pilsner, Prima Pils and 80'.

I'd drink 10 Bitter Years all the time but I don't think that would be wise.

I really had to think hard on this one. It's a toss up between the ST and the DFH. One of them was always OOS at my LCBO, so I'd go for the other... in fact I'm having trouble remembering which one I prefer.

I wish it had been the Prima Pils, but I had a hard time catching that in stock. I'll also echo tuque's thoughts on the Creemore Kellerbier, that was one of my favourites of 2009. All in all, it was a decent year.

Mill Street Tankhouse or Black Oak Pale Ale, without doubt.

These are two good and very reliable drinks. But I also don't have time anymore to run around to different stores searching for seasonal releases. And the service and inventory at my local pairing of TBS and the LCBO (Danforth & Greenwood) are about as indifferent as one would otherwise hope to avoid. So I get the stuff that is easiest for the mug behind the microphone to find.

Because of availability at local bars at lunch and at the in-laws, I'd have to say Beau's Lugtread. Oddly, for my taste, it might not even be in my top 50 beers that I had in 2009. :-?

At home, I think it would be Rochefort 10 but I probably had less than 10 during the year. 2009 was a year of great variety for me.

I would say a tie between Tankhouse and Hoptical with True North IPA in third. This year Hoptical will most likely edge out Tankhouse.

I love to have a good session beer stocked and then grab something I haven't had for a while to fill in the gaps.

For me it was the Creemore Kellerbier, aside from homebrew stuff, I grabbed it whenever I had the chance in the summer. I even found one in the back of the fridge about a month ago and it was still good. Also Grand River's Russian Gun.

Hmm probably Denison's while out and about. At home a variety but mostly homebrew.

Quite a few Denisons towards the end of the year as well.
