50 Beers to Try Before You Die
Thought the beer snobs here might like this article (and probably critique the hell out of it).
http://www.wisdeo.com/articles/view_post/2984 (CBS) You've heard of "100 Bottles of Beer on the Wall"? How about 50 to try before you die?!

So after being lucky enough to drink the 2017 Bourbon County lineup on Sunday, I came away impressed (and drunken). Anyone that cares can read my amateurish thoughts as a non-authority who prefers IPAs in the spoiler.

Here's a pic of the haul (Reserve & Prop). |

The coffee and blueberry and almond ones sound right up my alley.

Speaking of BCBS, I’m going to be in K.C. close to Olathe for thanksgiving. How hard is it to track down in KC? I’ve never been there for Black Friday so I wondered if there was any spot that would be more likely to have it.

I suppose it was worth missing the Chiefs game over.
I'm far from a coffee aficionado, but this years coffee used Intelligentsia’s Black Cat Espresso. I'm familiar with Intelligentsia because my favorite bar here serves it all day. I'll sometimes get a cold pressed coffee from them to-go and use it to jazz up a regular ol shelf stout at home. That said, I'll just say that there's a number of people here that prefer the coffee of others to Intelligentsia's. I thought it was very good, my wife who's also familiar with their coffee, loved it. |

The historical reason for this is that when coffee was first popular in Europe the beans came from all over the place and were of varying quality. Roasting them dark basically made them all taste the same. That is why coffee in Southern Europe: France, Spain, Italy, Austria, and Turkey are all dark roasts while Northern Europe and the Americas: Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Belgium are more of a medium roast as they got coffee beans much later once origin and quality were figured out. |

The issue is (at least in the past) they limit to one or two bottles... one year they came out with 4 packs and places were limiting to one or two 12oz bottles. I had given up on it in KC... limited, relatively expensive, and on ****ing Black Friday. |

Video of the Goose Island BCBS line in Chicago. The line started yesterday around noon-ish. About the only time I wish for freezing rain and snow.

Well, didn’t get the coffee that I was hoping for, but I got a regular, a reserve, and a barleywine. Not really a barleywine fan, but grabbed it just because I could. It should make a nice gift.
