A lot has changed since our last post. Six Hop Heads have reached 100 beers and their lists have held up to the eagle-eyed scrutiny of our expert auditing firm. Andrew Sullivan, Jacob Condon, Michelle Cousin, Lani Muller, Jake Glaser and David Fisher each completed their global beer quests. That gives us 21 people who have topped out of the Top 10. In addition, we have a new leader atop the Top 10 and it's a familiar name. Mark Lagerkvist, who finished one worldwide beer tasting, is one beer away from finishing his second, which of course would make him the first person to reach 200 beers. Meanwhile, Maria Vapnitchnaia remains at 97 beers and Adam Leicher holds down the No. 3 spot. With the New Year fresh upon us let it be resolved that we all plan to complete our beer quests in 2007 -- and maybe start a new one -- so our names will be enshrined on the George Keeley Wall of Fame.

Andrew Sullivan, Jacob Condon, Michelle Cousin, Lani Muller, Jake Glaser and David Fisher are the most recent Hop Heads to complete their global beer quests. Now that their lists have been scrutinized by our eagle-eyed auditors, the six newest members of our 100 Beer Club will have their names enshrined on our Wall of Fame. That brings to 21 the number of people who have topped out of the Top 10. For all lists, click on the specified graphics above.

The Wednesday night Happy Hours has become popular among many Beer Club members, including our law school friends, led by Eric Chesin, Kalyn Frame and Karen Loops.
