    For 2015 I would like to thank Fiddlehead, for providing a fantastic IPA that I can get on tap almost anywhere. Alesmith for Speedway and Oskar Blues for Tenfiddy, two fantastic, reasonably priced Russian Imperial Stouts and last, but not least, Sierra Nevada for Torpedo, my go to, cheap when I don't have any money, excellent IPA. Thank you again.

    Thank you:

    Green Flash for bringing Nelson this way and taking it from almost non-obtainable to a regular (just stop "you had to have it then folks"-had it and like the new stuff just fine).

    Wicked Weed for bottling Pernicious and Freak.

    Sierra Nevada for staying remarkably solid and consistent.

    Can't wait for 2016.

    Their collaboration gose and the holiday ale. Both very excellent and for the price so 2016 ill be looking for a lot of their stuff. Also i really like drinkability in that you can have more than two in a sitting and the pils and saison do that for me.

    Thanks to all the brewers I have tried this year. I noticed this year was exceptional for the Oktberfest . Thanks to Bittburger for making my favorite beer cheaply enough so that I can drink it ever day and good enough so that I want to.

    @beace and Jackie O's for the interaction on here and with their customers at the tap room/public house and on their website and Twitter. Good people running a great brewery that has a Goose Island quality barrel program.

    @Sixpoint for always providing information/answering questions and sharing some beers with us on WBAYDN.

    Sierra Nevada and @sierranevadabill for not just producing quality beers at good prices, but continuing to represent so many styles. Especially lagers.

    Last, but not least, Hoof Hearted Brewing. Such a great atmosphere at the releases. They are very cool about all of us just taking over their property for our own gigantic tailgate party/bottle share. Met many awesome people there this year. Oh yeah, the world class beers in 16 oz cans dont hurt either!:grinning:

    Thank You Tree House!!! For me, there is no other. Everyone else is at least 2 steps behind. Your beers are amazing, as is your customer service and every other aspect of your business. Cheers!

    Thank you Sierra Nevada for being the industry standard. Cellarmaker for continuing to produce incredible new beers as well as re-brewing some of the best from year one. Modern Times and Founders for expanding distribution to the bay area. Stone for recognizing the desires of the consumer and offering beers such as Enjoy By and Xocoveca in great formats.

    Thanks Tree House, have not had a bad brew from you. Out of the way, always a line but never a disappointment.

    Thanks Trillium, consistently great beers which are reasonably available at your brewery. Expecting even more great things with the expansion

    Thanks Jacks Abby , love the new place and the fun new beers. Like trillium, expecting even more great things in 2016 after your recent expansion

    Magnify Brewing - Makes some good beer, and they're located about 5 minutes away from me. Great atmosphere in the tasting room, friendly employees, and they brew quite a few beers for my local beer bar.
