Certainly an impressive list, I'd be happy with any of those in my glass at any given time. While my order would be pretty different, and may include more sour beer, there's no undeserving beer listed here. Great, now I'm thirsty. Thanks. (Oh, expect 11 from Firestone Walker to catapult onto this list when you get a chance to enjoy it)

Wow, Hopsickle bumped from the top spot! I can't believe i STILL haven't tried a Rochefort beer other than a sip of someone else's 10 once. I also was surprised no Drake's Hop Salad on there...

Glad to see this list, but you need to start another music blog so I can see what your favorite records from 2007 were!

I'm about to hit my 365th beer of the year, so I'll have to cook up a list with my 20 favorites.
