Beervana 2010

Beervana has come and gone again, leaving only a slightly lighter wallet and a vague memory of having a good time in its wake. This year I approached Beervana a slightly different way than last year, while also having restricted financial means to splash out on all the tasty beer exotica available. Trying to taste across a wide variety of styles and producers led to the following list of beers, in order of my tastings:

1. The Filter Room - IPA
2. Renaissance - Bourbon Porter 2006, cellared at Regional Wines & Spirits (twice... it was so good)
3. Arrow Brewing Company - IPA
4. Hallertau - Luxe Kolsch
5. Emerson's - 2009 JP
6. Epic - Armageddon
7. Jameson - IIPA
8. Mussel Inn - Freckled Frog Feijoa Cider
9. Arrow - Wee Heavy
10. Twisted Hop - IPA
11. Epic - Thornbridge Stout
12. Crouchers - Pale Ale
13. Emerson's - Oreti Red

Personal highlights were the Arrow IPA, Renaissance Bourbon Porter and Croucher's Pale Ale. I'll edit this post with more at some point, this is purely so I can try to remember what I drank ;)
