    Flanders Fred and Super IPA were really good.

    And while not necessarily qualifying for this thread, Pizza Port's Bagby's Last Stand was brewed at multiple different brewery locations and blended into something amazing. One of the best beers I've had this year.

    Agreed on Brux. At least it's sitting on the shelves so maybe I can pick some up at a discount in a year and see if it got better. Love the breweries but if the beer needs time to taste right they should have just sat on it before release.

    De Proef/Hotd Flanders Fred was the best I've had this year.

    Personally thought Super IPA was pretty bad. Way too grassy / herbal for my tastes. Pretty one dimensional.

    Flanders Fred is pretty great.

    Delicado was awesome. I really enjoyed TBA as well as More Brown than Black but wasn't that 2011?

    The Green Flash side of the Friendship Brew was...not good.

    I really enjoyed the Boulevard / Pretty Things Collaboration #3, I also enjoyed Collaboration Not Litigation Ale from Avery and Russian River. I didn't think that the Lips of Faith Brett Beer wasn't too bad, there are far better Brett beers out there, but I think it wasn't a complete mess.

    Maine Beer/Lawson's Collaboration Time I was the first collab that not only met my expectations but exceeded them.

    No way! I never heard about this one but knowing those breweries it sounds amazing. Wish I could try it.

    I really enjoyed the Hill Farmstead/Cigar City Nor. Every other collab beer I had this year was kind of meh.
