5. Any other notes...did your favorite style of beer change, did you get to do anything "beer bucket list" like, etc.
Bought a Utopias that I'm terrified to try but was a beer bucket list item. Thought I'd get tired of hazy IPAs but I can't quit them.

1. Favorite beer of 2019
Maine Dinner

2. Beer you drank the most of in 2019
Evolution Lot 3 - most widely available non-hazy IPA at restaurants and bars around here. Maine Lunch was a close second until the last 3 months where I stopped being able to reliably find it at the grocery or beer store.

3. Favorite brewery you visited in 2019
Maine Beer Company - Perfect brewery experience. DogfishHead was cool from a historical craft beer perspective, but wasn't an amazing experience.

4. What brewery would you want to visit in 2020 that you have never been to before?
Alchemist - it is a 9 hour drive, and I'm thinking of doing a long weekend where I hit Lawson's and Alchemist, then go over to Maine Beer and hit Trillium on the way back down. Much easier to haul a nice stock back in the Jeep than checking boxes on a plane.

5. Any other notes...did your favorite style of beer change, did you get to do anything "beer bucket list" like, etc.
Not really. This was much more of a wine year for me since I'm tired of all the hazy IPAs on all the taps here.

1. Favorite beer of 2019 - Southern Grist Batida with Mango
2. Beer you drank the most of in 2019 - Probably Eureka Heights Mostly Harmless
3. Favorite brewery you visited in 2019 - Southern Grist
4. What brewery would you want to visit in 2020 that you have never been to before? - Hill Farmstead
5. Any other notes...did your favorite style of beer change, did you get to do anything "beer bucket list" like, etc. - I didn't drink as much beer in 2019. It was definitely more of a whiskey and wine year. As far as style preference I still like sours and barrel-aged stouts, but this year I tended to drink more "normal" beers.

1. Favorite beer of 2019: drank my 2017 unicorn tears from Fremont. As far as a beer from 2019 I'd say Dick Jones from Sigma

2. Beer you drank the most of in 2019. Gotta be Art Car mostly due to copious amounts of Astros games.

3. Favorite brewery you visited in 2019. Just to say something from out of town I'll say Creature Comforts in Athens.

4. What brewery would you want to visit in 2020 that you have never been to before?
Looking forward to Local Group opening in Houston. They are friends of ours.

5. Any other notes...did your favorite style of beer change, did you get to do anything "beer bucket list" like, etc.
I think I'm about over NEIPAs they had a good three year run. For all the Houston guys I got all of Jimmy's releases and they were all amazing. I think 2020 is going to be the return of west coast for me. If anyone here lives in Houston and has not been to Baileson do yourself a favor and go. IMHO, and I have been to just about every brewery in town, they have the best west coast in the city.
Whoop!

Gooooooooo. Amazing brewery experience. Aside from being a top 5 brewery beer wise, the grounds are amazing as well.

Whoop!

If NEIPAs are your thing Houston Haze getting distributed in Houston, San Antonio, and Austin. Art Car and Yellow Rose are typically easy to find for more traditional IPAs. Community Mosiac is awesome, but dangerous with the ABV. SA Pub Crawl and Deep Ellum Easy Peasy if day drinking
Whoop!

5. Any other notes...did your favorite style of beer change, did you get to do anything "beer bucket list" like, etc. - Less beer in '19, more mixed beverages. Martin House here in FW killed it this year but I can only handle a couple sours every sitting due to being old af. Modern Times & all the New Glarus in WI. were tasty.

Also looking forward to local group getting going. We are friends with Todd and his family (have a son the same age as one of his), and I spent a couple days brewing with Huggy this summer.

plus beers & explosives are taking shape for a fun evening at home
