20. Blessed
> Style: Imperial stout
> Brewery: Anchorage Brewing Co.
> Location: Anchorage, Alaska
Black and heavy, with plenty of oak from its aging in bourbon barrels and a serious kick (it’s 14% ABV); finished with coconut and vanilla beans, for an exotic confectionary character.

> Style: Double IPA
> Brewery: Bell’s Brewery

18. Barrel-Aged Abraxas

17. Atrial Rubicite
> Style: Sour ale
> Brewery: Jester King Brewery
> Location: Austin, Texas
A two-fisted Texan take on wild-fermented Belgian framboise (raspberry-flavored beer), surprisingly dry and vivid on the palate.

16. Very Green
> Style: Double IPA
> Brewery: Tree House Brewing Co.
> Location: Charlton, Massachusetts
Redolent of American and Australian hops, with a piney, herbaceous character and a citrus bite, this is a complex brew developing nicely in the glass.
