Not a big update for the past few days, but I didn't want to go too far and forget the two I did have while watching Kentucky come from 18 down to defeat the Florida Gators in Gainesville in the final SEC game for both before the conference tournament. 108.  Two Hearted Ale (American IPA) - Bell's Brewing - Kalamazoo, MI - 7.0% ABV I love everything Bell's, and I ordinarily love this one, but for some reason I wasn't feeling it.  That is going to affect the rankings, as this is the first time I have had this beer this year. 109.  Great White - Lost Coast Brewing - Eureka, CA - 4.8% ABV Deliciously refreshing, and I stuck with it even as the Gators took a big lead on the Wildcats, and since the Cats came back, the last one tasted even sweeter.
