Really, this is just a fantasy league update. But first I'll give you a leaderboard of the sum of the new April and May beers from each brewery. For fun.

Brewery Total Cigar City 18.568 Lawson's Finest Liquids 11.997 Omnipollo 9.886 Belching Beaver 8.746 Firestone Walker 8.732 Pipeworks 8.701 Panhead Brewery 8.319 The Bruery 7.303 Green Flash 6.165 Jaws Brewery 6.138 Avery 5.983 BrewDog 5.781

So yeah, Cigar City is the Mike Trout of fantasy beer right now. The top 12 fantasy teams all own Cigar City and are benefiting from Good Morning Mekong, their Humidor Sour, the Wandering Pelican, and a couple collaborations that are also doing well. Not one of their eight (!) scoring beers is below replacement, and those eight beers mean that the Cigar City crew are also ahead in the 'New Beers' category. Once we took Stickee Monkee from Firestone Walker, it fell a bit, but it's still riding Bretta Rose and Lil' Leghorn to a decent standing. How about a shoutout to Europe, where Omnipollo is making waves with a few collaborations and then a Nebolution IPA which must be good if it's anyting like Nebuchadnezzar.

Lawson's is largely riding one beer, but what a beer Triple Sunshine IPA is turning out to be. Up to almost seven BAR in two months, it looks like an early Rookie of the Year candidate. We've allready written it up here, but I bet we hear more about it soon. Pipeworks may have some strange names -- Bunny & The Bird -- but you bet I'll be having an Easter Bunny Vs Unicorn if they are still around in July when I'm in Chicago (meetup July 17th!).

Okay, time for the fantasy leaderboard. I could only manage the sumBAR category -- the fantasy brewery names are not the same as the brewery names in our database, so it was a lot of stupid work -- but it's a good first look at who's winning.

Do you have Cigar City? Good, you're in the running. Who else you got?

Yup, I'm 53rd of almost 100 teams. Yeesh.

Looks like the key is picking breweries that make a ton of new kinds of beer and have some distribution. But did we all know that Cigar City was going to go nuts like this?
