2022 IMHO Beer Ratings - Best of 2022
Stiff competition this year with plenty of great beers across the categories, but this Hazy IPA from Behemoth stood out.

2021 IMHO Beer Ratings - Best of 2021
A very decent Christmas-themed stout takes out the top spot this year.

2020 IMHO Beer Ratings - Best of 2020
Given the year that we’ve all had, it seemed appropriate that one of the heavyweights should top the list this time around. The Epic Hop Zombie has been a favourite throughout.
Runners up:
2020 IMHO Beer Ratings - Double/Triple IPA
The heavyweights. Epic Hop Zombie still a favourite, with the Liberty Citra a close second.
2020 IMHO Beer Ratings - Hazy IPA
It’s been the Year of the Hazy IPA. Impossible to keep up with all of the new releases, so this represents my best effort.
It was a close race, but the Behemoth Lid Ripper had the biggest I’d-go-back-to-that-one-again effect (which, in the absence of any clear criteria for picking a favourite, carried a lot of weight).
2020 IMHO Beer Ratings - Stout
Exactly as the label described.
2020 IMHO Beer Ratings - IPA
It’s that time again. First up, IPAs.
MB "Ralphie The Black Dog" Black IPA
Big fan.
2019 IMHO Beer Ratings - Best of 2019
The best of a pretty good bunch:
Cassels Milk Stout from Christchurch. Hard to go past this as a standout winner for the year. Even better from the source.
This hazy IPA was ridiculously easy to drink. Best enjoyed with sun, friends, and barbeque.
A trip to Melbourne brought with it the realisation that the Australians do have beers other than VB and Foster’s, and they’re really quite good. This one in particular was seriously drinkable.
Runners-up:
2019 IMHO Beer Ratings - IPA
Not new, but still a favourite.
