In honor of the 200th posting, I've decided it's high time to review what's hanging out in the Marci Top 25 list. As I start to compile that list, I have a sneaky suspicion that there may be way more than 25 breweries represented. Not good when I haven't done my Russian River review -- it's coming soon -- and there's still 165 posts to go.
These are in no particular order.
- Firestone Walker 14th Anniversary Ale
- Mestreechts Aajt Flanders Oud Bruin
- Revolution Cider
Schneider Weisse Mein Grunes(saison)Something else had to go.- Saison d'Erpe Mere
Saison Dupont- Uncommon Brewers Baltic Porter
- Chimay Grande Reserve
St. Somewhere Saison AtheneOff the list...the review wasn't as enthusiastic as others.- Emelisse Imperial Russian Stout
- Leelanau's Good Golden Harbor (biere de garde)
- Ayinger Weizen Bock
- Jolly Pumpkin Madrugada Obscura (sour stout)
- del Ducato L'Ultima Luna (barleywine)
- Petrus Aged Pale
Delirium TremensMaking more room...- Leipziger Gose
LoverBeer Madamin(sour)I admited it tasted a bit watery compared to other sours.- Abbaye du Val-Dieu Grand Cru Belgian Abbey Ale
- New Holland Dragon's Milk (stout)
- Duchesse de Bourgogne Flanders Red Ale
- Duvel Belgian Golden Ale
- Left Hand Milk Stout
- Southern Tier Creme Brulee Stout
- Ommegang Aphrodite (fruit beer)
- Anchorage Love Buzz Saison
- 1809 Berlinerweisse
- Allagash Interlude (wild ale)
Just as I suspected...now I edit. And now there are 23 beers on the list.

Tonight I'm reviewing Deschutes Sour Raz. It is an American wild ale brewed in Bend, Oregon. It unfortunately was not one of the breweries we were able to visit on our vacation.
It poured a light brown with a reddish tint. (That picture is awful in terms of color. It smells of sour fruit. The taste is light raspberry, malt and coppery hops. Is coppery hops a thing? It is now.
I also just noticed that this beer isn't listed on Deschutes' webpage. Is that strange, no?
Cheers!
