While in MI for the holidays:
Arcadia Rapunzel
Griffin Claw Grand Trunk Bohemian Pilsner
Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous Black IPA
There was one or two others that slip my mind, but I liked the Stone the best.

Kern River Winter Ale (double IPA) - fantastic beer and one of my favorite DIPAs. Get up there and get some if you can while it lasts!
Bourbon County Brand Coffee Stout - I happened to stumble on this immediately after it arrived at the local liquor store, got 6 bottles, gifted a few. Very good, a little too rich and syrupy at times for me, I like to share bottles of BCB beers when I drink them.
Russian River Supplication - Very very well done sour and the one that turned me onto this style. Vinnie brews nearly all of his beers very dry, no residual sugar like a lot of breweries do, perhaps due to his winemaking background (?)

Liverpool Organic Brewery, 24 Carat Gold - good stuff
On NYE, Westvleteren XII. It was very good, but it's difficult to taste objectively when you're thinking "I'm about to taste the best beer on earth". In a blind line-up against other Belgian quads I don't think I would have been able to pick it out.
Grapefruit Sculpin - I like this so much better than sculpin.
I also tried a porter with curry spices. It was interesting.
I like ballast point.

Russian River Consecration - high ABV sour, A+ sour beer but I preferred the Supplication over this one.
Maine Beer Company "Dinner" double IPA - A+ beer, another hyped IPA I'll likely never get my hands on again unless I go to Maine.
Westvleteren 12 - A+ beer. Good Belgian yeast notes and spice, very well balanced malt backbone and a big beer. I love Belgian beers but this one has never "wowed" me to extremes, and plenty of domestic ales of the same style to me are comparable if not better.
I think it's time for a brewing kit.

Tried some brews from Two Roads in Connecticut, a brewery started by a beer exec we knew from the past.
Ol Factory Pils - 5% ABV
Honeyspot Road White IPA - 6%
Both are good and relatively high in the hop factor.

Oskar Blues Pinner IPA - It wasnt labeled as such on the chalk board but I think its their session IPA. Less than 5% abv. Very good stuff.
