    This year the only one for me was Victory at Sea. Had it for the first time on draft and was impressed that not only was it a great beer, but it was worthy of the attention it gets.

    Lived up.
    Imperial Biscotti Break, KBS.

    I was really excited to try HF Birth of Tragedy and I wasn't thrilled about it. But Abner is really good. And I think in general HF hype is totally well deserved.
    I am taking a trip to VT for some Heady. So I have been fed the hype and I am taking time out of my life due to it. So, I am tempering my expectations because it's hard for any beer to live up to that kind of hype.

    Agreed. It was hugely underwhelming.

    Zombie Dust and Gumballhead from FFF. In the lager world, Prima Pils exceeded hype if that is possible.

    Especially for $25. Not sure if i will spend that much on a bottle of beer ever again.
