/r/Beer's Top Beers List (2016 edition). Come inside to vote!

I am taking the same format as the last one, if you have any suggestions, go ahead and message me. By necessity, this has to have a lot of rules to attempt to control the chaos. Upvote this post for visibility, or we could sticky it for a few days. W/e

Rules:

1) Anyone can add a beer of any style, but please do so only under the correct style header

2) If you don't see a style header yet for a style you want to enter and this post is less than 15 minutes old, please be patient and wait for me to enter it :) Otherwise, send me a personal message, do not post a new style yourself

3) do not post anything at the top level, it will be removed

4) do not post anything but a beer name + brewery name at the second level, it will be removed

5) Feel free to post whatever you want as a reply to a specific beer name (3rd level)

6) Please make sure to check if a beer has been posted yet before adding it
