    Top three beers of 2008 for me:

    3. 21st Amendment’s Fat Bavarian. This would be my goto beer, regardless of the time of year but particularly when I wanted something refreshing if I could get it.

    2. New Belgium Brewery’s La Folie. According to almost everyone else at Thanksgiving this beer was terrible or too challenging, that was okay, my grandpa and I gladly drank it without them. This beer definitely deserves it’s spot on my wine rack, I’ll put a few away to age and I’ll pull one out for celebrations or special days. Plus I’m supporting one of my semi-local breweries and I love almost all of New Belgium’s beer.

    1. Brewery Ommegang’s Chocolate Indulgence. Like the Fat Bavarian, this is one of the beers I had to honor to try with you guys and to get to try as a guest on the show. I’m going to flat out call this the finest beer I’ve ever had.

    I wouldn’t have it all the time, and I’m not sure how it will hold up when it gets hot, but I’ve got another bottle and I’ll pull it out one of these days. I’m still overjoyed that I got my ‘Costco of liqueur’ to order over Christmas.

    The best part of the experience was hosting my own Christmas beer tasting, which I titled Beer School Extended Studies and had a bunch of friends over to try winter beers. Most of them liked the lighter Sam Adams chocolate beer better though.

    Also looking up beer events. So, do I get an ‘A’?

    Fat Bavarian isn’t an all the time beer at 21a just so you know. La Folie is a challenge because of the surprise. most people don’t think of beer as sour especially one that is expensive. it’s a good beer to keep around, let age and try on special occasions with people that know what they are getting into. The Ommegang beer is one of those beers that disappoints people. they think it’s going to be more chocolate! be sure to pair it with something to bring out those flavors.

    grades: A.
