To all:
If you’re beer wasn’t added to the poll, it’s because the beer did not debut in 2010. Great examples would be Flying Dog Raging Bitch or Great Lakes Erie Monster DIPA.
Thanks for your help with this.

while i love me some New Glarus (being a Wisconsin native), the Tallgrass Brewing Co. Double IPA titled “Oasis” is pretty much the best beer i’ve ever drinken. drunken. drunk. whatever. Grapefruit is the predominate finish, with lots of hops, malty tongue, and lots of flavor. it’s …. existential?
