With 2010 already in full swing the Hop Cast wanted to take a look at the previous year and pick five of our favorite beers that came out last year.

Big Hugs from Half Acre
Sah’tea from Dogfish Head
Torpedo Extra IPA from Sierra Nevada
Monk’s Blood from 21st Admendment

    Torpedo, really? What do you like about it?

  • http://www.digitalhitchhiker.com Brad Chmielewski

    Well it's a IPA so that's a plus right there. But it's smooth and very well balanced. A refreshing beer that makes for a great session beer.

    There's nothing not to like about Torpedo. It has such a unique hop characteristic including a big intense bitterness.

    Fair enough, I know that a lot of people seem to like it, but as far as IPA's go, I found it to be quite artificial and boring.
