like trying new beers and this included the 4 beers I made.  Here are the 50 best

Like normal, there is a lot of IPAs, Sours, and Saisons; this year I tried a lot
more stouts than previous years.  It helps getting things like BCBS, KBS, and Darkness.

Some of the new places in St. Louis made the list, like [Missouri Beer Company](http://www.mobeerco.com/),
[Good News Brewing](https://www.goodnewsbrewing.com/), and [Third Wheel Brewing](http://www.thirdwheelbrewing.com/home);
all are within 15 minutes of me. Missouri Beer Company has moved into regular rotation.
I need to try Good News and Third Wheel more often; Good News could make regular
rotation if they move to growlers/crowlers.

I also discovered [Mother Earth Brewing](http://www.motherearthbrewing.com/) in 
North Carolina; I acquired 4 of their beers and really enjoyed all of them.  They
are a place that I’d try to visit if I go to the Kinston area.
