    Love seeing each new SN mix pack come out and seeing the Octoberfests hit the shelves. Other than that I'm not really a new release sorta guy.

    Probably the release that I've been most looking forward to lately is Framinghammer from Jack's Abby. Looks like we've got a ways to go for that one. I'm not as big a fan of the variants.

    I look forward to Festina Peche every year. That beer is the best tart/sour beer for summer.

    Heh. I'm choosing to take this out of context.

    Oberon release is the unofficial start of summer in Michigan. Short's Fall/Winter releases: Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster, Cup o Joe, and Evil Urges are always reason to celebrate for me.

    Add me to the list of wet hop lovers. The fact that Surly has a batch of Wet brewing this year has me giddy.

    Hunaphu Day to me is my favorite holiday of the year. There is no other day of the year I look more forward to.

    Barrel Aged Gingerbread Stout from Hardywood Park. Mainly because I have started a tradition a few years ago to down an aged one on Thanksgiving, but mostly because it's like drinking dessert after a big meal. Although I will be looking forward to Tweak this year - that's a new addition to my anticipation queue.

    When the beer releases from its vessel onto my palate. Especially when the glassware is engineered to improve the release on the palate (lookin' at you, Sam Adams Perfect Pint haha)

    Cliche as it may sound, Bourbon County for sure. I also really look forward to Gingerbread Stout from Great River Brewery, Jingle Java from Bent River Brewing, Staghorn from New Glarus, Alpha Klaus from Three Floyds and Warlock from Southern Tier.

    Coffee Pot & Kettle and PM Dawn from Trillium. Not special releases but when they're available I geek out.

    The usual suspects of course, KBS - Nugget Nectar and Bourbon County but also Ballast Point and Sixpoint limited releases. Locally, any time Crickethill brewing does a Porter or especially a Stout in Bourbon Barrels. Very tasty brews.

    Like others here, I love the wet hop season, especially Founder's Harvest Ale. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

    It would be Hunahpu, if they made it easier to get. Instead its waiting in the parking lot to try to buy Hunahpu bottles off of somebody who is too drunk to remember what they're worth.

    Bourbon County, KBS, and the Firestone Walker's Proprietor's series are the ones I look forward to.
