Gravity Head 2010: The list hits 60 -- and stops there.

Uncle.

This is as close as I can get to a final Gravity Head listing. It may well be the most diverse ever from top to bottom. The style categories are from Beer Advocate. There are 60 beers, even though I was supposed to buy less this year. Oops. One of these years, I'll learn. You'll notice that there have been changes since the last update.

We'll begin on February 26 with the third annual Gravity Head Tailgate Breakfast at 7:00 in the Public House. The starting lineup will be announced fairly soon, and there'll be fan voting for one slot.
