Oskar Blues Old Chub
Longmont, Colorado
Sweet caramel mellows out the kick, but the taste of metal clings to your teeth. 8 percent
Sly Fox Pikeland Pils
Sly Fox Pikeland Pils
Pottstown, Pennsylvania
A heady, chewy taste that’s unusually hoppy for a pilsner. 4.9 percent; $8.50
Caldera IPA
Ashland, Oregon
So hoppy it tastes like a meal. If you like your beer to bite back, this is the one. Kicks, too. 6.1 percent. $9

Manhattan, Kansas
The Kansas version of a Belgian tripel. We loved the floral sweetness in this well-crafted pint. 8.5 percent; $9 for four
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
Chico, California
Rich and piney, Sierra Nevada’s signature ale has enough spice for a Christmas party. 5.6 percent
21st Amendment Monk’s Blood
San Francisco
Spiced with vanilla, figs, and cinnamon, but still the smoothest strong beer on the list. 8.3 percent
Ska True Blond Ale
Durango, Colorado
This was the best light beer we tried, with a hint of lemon that’s not too tart. Perfect for grilling days. 5.3 percent
Sixpoint Resin Ale
Brooklyn, New York
Known for cramming a ton of hops into its cans, this Brooklyn brewery went all out on bitterness. The strongest brew we tried. 9.1 percent; $10 for four
Wynkoop B3K Black Lager
Denver
Creamy, chocolaty, and smoky all in one sip, this German-style schwarz-bier uses four layers of malts to achieve its complexity. 5.3 percent
