    hardywood Gingerbread Stout certainly made a nice impression. Also enjoyed New Glarus Serendiipity.

    Man, this is tough for me! I had some GREAT beers this year including Italians that blew me away... I enjoyed Half Acre Daisy Cutter in a growler, had some Chocarubbica on draft, and Verdi Imperial Stout on draft too!

    If I had to pick one it would have to be Baladin Xyuayu! While not the most accessible, it challenges you! For such I am thankful!

    A vote for Juicy. I also think the "Enjoy By" Series is an honorable mention.

    Apple-Brandy Hunah for me, but overall I've had a very very good year when it comes to beer.

    Locally speaking, it is/was awesome to finally get Troegs' Perpetual IPA outside the brewery. That counts, right?

    If we are talking beers that were new in 2012, I am saying Narwhal. Especially for the price point and availablity.

    Ruthless Rye was great as well. Sierra Nevada killed it in 2012.
