On September 22, I decided to log each and every beer I consumed, where I had it, who with, bottle or tap, and a rating. Just a simple Google Spreadsheet called Beer2007. Last year I also pretty much stopped drinking crappy beers, both at home or out - I’d either order something good or not order at all. No more cases of Premium in the fridge just to have on hand or settling for an average beer with dinner, and instead replaced by expensive craft brews and road trips to Hudson to pick up special beers that we can’t get in MN.
Highlights? Surly Darkness, Town Hall Eye of the Storm and Czar Jack, and the Goose Island Imperial IPA stand out but there were so many wonderful beers out last year.
Also last year I started cellaring beers that I thought would be worth it. I’m not sure if it’s worth the extra price to have to buy some for now and some for later, but it’s kinda cool to know that I have a ton of beer in the basement that I can’t have.
I’m not sure if I’ll be able to follow along with the Brew52.com but I’ll probably continue drinking 
I’ve gotta say, the best beers that I had in 07 were almost without question the 3 cellar-type varieties from Bell’s: Third Coast Old Ale, Sparking Ale, and the Expedition Stout.
Out here in Maine, the best two have been Sebago Slick Nick on Tap, and Cadillac Mtn Stout in the bottle.
Is the Czar Jack that stuff that’s 10% alcohol (or something like that)? I think I may have tried it at Autumn Brew Review a couple years ago. It was fantastic.
Yeah, it’s an Imperial Stout, like 9.5%. 100th percentile over at ratebeer.com
