It's the end of the year, time for countdown lists.
There's been an overwhelming demand that I compile all PQs for the year...ok, 2 people asked for it, which for this blog that constitutes heavy demand. And besides, the Internet needs another 2008 countdown, or in this case, a count-up list.
Beers are rank-ordered by PQ. Draft beers, NAs, and F'd up beers (Sparks Energy and Bud/Clamato) are not included.
2. SA Holiday Porter A 47.2
3. Sierra Nevada Anniversary A 46.2
4. SA Old Fezziwig A- 43.6
5. Leffe Blonde A 43
6. King in a Can B 41.5
7. SA Cranberry Lambic B- 38.7
8. GB Czech Pilsner A 36.4
9. Bud American Ale A- 32.1
10. Deschutes Jubelale A 32
11. Maui Bikini Blonde A- 26.7
12. Ayinger Celebrator A+ 21.3
13. Stonemill Organic C- 16.8
14. Sam Smith’s Winter A 15.9
15. John Barleycorn B+ 13.3
16. Hoffbrau Weisse B+ 13
17. 3 Philosophers A 12
18. Brewdog Punk IPA A- 9.2
19. Koshihikari Echigo C+ 9.1
20. Augustijn Ale B 8.4
Deschutes Inversion IPA A- Unknown
Wild Blue D+ Unknown
After compiling this list, I realized that I need to get down to Costco and pick-up their winter sampler pack...clearly the best value using the PQ system.

I thought you hated cranberry lambic.
the fact that king in a can is #6 really undermines your credibility.
false, sonya. the point of the list is to describe value and quality together, so a pretty good beer that's really cheap should easily sit next to an expensive, perfect beer.
you guys are both wrong. always. aren't you married? where's Becca...go ask her.
