Top 100 = Best Beers on the Planet

The label, "Best Beers on the Planet", refers to beers ranked in the top 100 beers on the planet by reviewers at BeerAdvocate.com. I downloaded the list on 29 December 2005 and 10 March 2007 and check the current list when I review a beer I know to be highly ranked. The lists for 29 December 2005 and 10 March 2007 follow. I have tasted the beers followed by "Y" and have the beer followed by "C" in my cellar.
