I could name 10 right now, and change my mind tomorrow on a few of them.
I also have a nice lineup planned for NYE... so I should probably just wait.
Great lists from everyone else so far.
Cheers!

I'll have to take a look at what I've had and post later.....such great variety here.
Surprised somewhat by how few local beers or even Canadian beers are on many people's lists considering how many new beers have come out this year.
Also surprised by just how many people are getting their Hill Farmstead fix!
