In Review

Having rediscovered this dusty old collection of thoughts from yesteryear, I am compelled to revise and improve several of the lists. Notably those with reference to beer, whisky, and music.

Best Bands, including solo artist, in loose order.

1. Arcade Fire
2. Gregory Alan Isakov
3. Radiohead
4. Ray Lamontagne
5. Kings of Leon
6. Weezer
7. Counting Crows
8. Jackson Browne
9. Ryan Bingham
10. Robert Earl Keen

Whisky, both Bourbon and Scotch (with admitted narrow familiarity to the breadth of this category at large)

1. Ardbeg 10 yr (Isla)
2. Bookers
3. Talisker 18 yr (Isla)
4. Balvenie 12 yr Doublewood (Highland)
5. Bakers

Beer, considering accessibility and "drinkability" (which the tour guide at Budweiser's Ft. Collins brewery describes as "the ability to drink 5-6 of said beer in a single sitting".)

1. Chin Wag, Hogs Head Brewery, cask conditioned and dry hopped with Simcoe
2. Righteous, Renegade, Rye IPA
3. Narhwal, Imperial Stout, Sierra Nevada
4. Rolling Rock (super cold, in a bottle)
5. Arrogant Bastard, Stone, Strong Ale
6. Boulevard Wheat
7. Dale's Pale, Pale Ale, Oskar Blues
8. Black Butte, Porter, Deschutes
