    It's been a good year but if I must pick 5 I'm going with these:

    1. Kane Mexican Brunch -- This one was actually unreal
    2. Tired Hands Alien Church
    3. Other Half All Green Everything
    4. Pizza Boy BBA Sunny Side Up
    5. Tired Hands Only Void aged on coffee and cherries

    I know this sounds homerish but I've had beers from all over and these are the ones that killed it.
