Best and worst new beer you've tried so far in 2015?

Best was Firestone Walker 18, worst was Potosi Fiddler Oatmeal Stout. Haven't had a ton of new beers this year, but very few clunkers.

 

Best: Maine Beer Company Dinner
Worst: Liberty Craft Brewing Tunk (not only the worst beer I have had in 2015, but the worst beer I have ever had.)

 

Well I got into beer this year sooo...

Best: West Ashley, Savant Blanc, Vanilla Rye, Pirate Bomb, and of course the Pliny the Younger + '09 Cable Car mix

Most disappointing (since there is no 'worst' ): Last Snow. Yep. Crucify me, but I was quite let down by this one.

 

Best - DB Huna
Worst - High West Single Malt Eclipse.

 

Best: Firestone Walker Parabola
Worst: Coney Island Human Blockhead (maybe I had a bad batch???)

 

Best: Crimson Snapper by Pipeworks
Worst: Bells Winter White Ale

 

Best: Brasserie Dupont Avec Les Bons Voeux. Beautiful appearance and amazingly complex. Best saison I've ever had.

Worst: Sixpoint Jammer. I don't enjoy talking smack about a local brewery that I have a lot of respect for, but this was just a total miss.

 

Best: Vanilla Rye
Worst: Flesk Anniversary Ale 2014

 

Best: Trillium Double Dry Hopped Sleeper St.

Worst: Tie between The Bruery's 7 Swans-A-Swimming & Sam Adams Cold Snap

 

Best: DFH Raison D'Extra bottled on 09/29/2006.. Cellaring this beer leads to something quite wonderful

Worst: Easy.. Pumking, yuck

 

Worst - Revolution Mean Jean (technically from 2014 but opened this year) - BUTTER BOMB. or Grapefruit Sculpin, talk about an unbalanced mess (for the record I like grapefruit)
Best - Sasion du Fermier or La Fosse or Excursions #3 (I cannot decide between these 3)

 

This might sound weird but try drinking one right out of the bottle. I had 2 poured into a glass and was not impressed at all. Decided to just hammer down the rest at a later time and the next time I tried it I didn't pour into a glass. It was a completely different beer and much better tasting imo

 

Worst I've had this year has to be Rogue Yellow Snow IPA. It tasted like...well...yellow snow. Silva Stout was runner-up.

CBS and Black Tuesday are no-brainers, but for the sake of mixing it up, I'd have to say BA Dark Apparition was amazing. That's one I will definitely seek out again. And honestly, I did a side-by-side with fresh Heady and Austin Beer Works Heavy Machinery DIPA, and it was tough to decide which was best. Do yourselves a favor and trade for some of that when it comes back around--it needs a bigger audience.

 

Worst was probably South Hampton Publik House. Therewas also a 21st amendment I remember very much not enjoying.
Best may be 14th Star Valor or FatHeads HopJuju

 

Best: Double Barrel Huna for obvious reasons. My god, amazing beer.

Worst: Breckenridge BA 471 with Sorachi Ace. I don't know what was wrong with this beer but I did not enjoy it.
Runner up: Cisco Island Gose. Tasted like it was brewed with salt water. So much for balance.

 

Best: Apple Brandy Noir and CBS
Worst: Empyrean Nibbed in the Barrel Oatmeal Stout, bottle was infected

 

Ive had it on tap, in the bottle, and from a bottle to a glass. I just am not a fan. I love grapefruit IPA's but this does nothing for me. I personally think its a mess, but ill be honest I dont like any of the sculpins. I think they are mediocre over priced IPA;s. But hey different strokes for different folks.

 

Best was Westvletern 8
Worst was Wexford Irish Creme Ale. In fact, if it weren't for Greene King, I might not have had any bad beer at all this year!

 

Best is Prairie Bomb! Worst is Orval. I really like belgian ales but Orval was just disappointing.

 

Best- by style
Barrel Aged Stout- CBS from founders- DANG
DIPA/IPA- Double Dry Hopped Congress by trillium
Sour/Saison- Framboise Du Fermier by side project

WORST-
Really let down by hopslam, probably not "the worst" but VERY let down this year.
