Possibly, the last beer post on The Brown Knowser. I may keep all of my beer posts on my Beer O'Clock blog. Stay tuned.

Some of them have been outstanding and have made it to my regular repertoire of beverages. Some have been special releases or beers that I can't easily access, and they are near and dear to my heart.
And some have been less than appealing, but worth trying nevertheless.
Here is a list of my favourite reviews, in no particular order (actually, that's not true: they're listed in order from most-recent reviews to earlier reviews).
- Pink Fuzz Grapefruit Wheat Ale, Beyond the Pale Breweryfor not being a big fan of wheat ales, I found this beer delightfully refreshing. Lots of flavour and not filling. This will be my beer of choice for a hot summer's day.
- Double-Chocolate Imperial Stout, Mill Street Brewingone of the best stouts I've ever had. Period.
- Weiss O'Lantern Pumpkin Wheat Ale, Beau's All-Natural Brewingthis was my favourite pumpkin ale of the season. My only regret is that I didn't drink more of it. But I'll be stocking up next year for sure.
- Milk Stout, The Duck-Rabbit Craft Brewerynot only was this the best stout I've ever had, it may very well be the best beer I've ever had. If you ever want to get me a gift, a six pack of this would be much appreciated.
- St-Ambroise IPA, McAuslan BreweryI wish this wasn't a seasonal. I would keep this in my basement year-round. Again, I'll be stocking up next year.
- Trail Blaze Organic Brown Ale, Appalachian Brewing Companya memorable, flavourfull brown ale from a brewery I found as I was passing through Gettysburg this summer.
- IPA, Big Rig Brewingthis is a big, highly quaffable IPA. It's my choice every time I go to this Ottawa brew pub.
- Paradise APA, Mill Streetanother seasonal favourite from my favourite Ontario brewery. (They don't pay me to say that, but they should)
- Ambre de la Chaudière, Mill StreetI love this bière de garde, from its aroma to its finish. I could drink this beer all day (if not for the alcohol content).
- Mad Tom IPA, Muskoka Breweryever since I first tried this IPA, it's been a regular resident in my basement. Massive hops and excellently balanced, it's a serious ale.
Cheers!
I had so many great beers this year it's hard to nail down which was my favourite.
