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?!
Spoiler!

Got out to grab some BCS (giving away singles this year ) and hit the stout jackpot. Surprised to find more Crown Valley Imperial Pumpkin Stout, Warlock... Evil Twin Biscotti Break is excellent, Dragon's Milk Bourbon Barrel Stout, Schlafly's Bourbon Stout, some Great Divide Yetis, and a couple Organic Chocolate Stouts....

Might get more from someone in Omaha (the only place I've ever seen the coffee BCS), but with all the other beer I mentioned, BCS isn't as big of a priority.... I usually give BCS 8-12 months anyway, where as the Schlafly bourbon stout is almost just as good without the wait. Guess I'll add... I'll trade BBQ for BCS, think I have 3 or 4 BBQs left.

BCS is funny. The release always sneaks up on me and the demand for it is just silly. Fortunately, I have a beer buddy that works in the business and always sets aside a bit for me; I don't really ask for it. He just puts it on the counter for me when I come in. That's what happened. I went in to grab a 4 pack of River North IPA for my disc golf round enjoyment and when I got to the counter, there was a case box waiting for me, packed to the gills with BCS goodness.
Couple that with the fact that the price actually went down this year to 18.99 per 4 pack and I'm a happy camper. I'm good on the BBQ. We buy a full case every year it gets released and end up giving a bunch away as gifts or taking it to events/gatherings. It's always a good beer conversation starter, along with the rest of the barrel aged Smokestack beers. |

Nice haul! I finally got to try the BBQ myself last week. It was very good. That Boulevard-Ommegang saison was kinda disappointing to me. What style is the Master of disguise? I haven't cared for many of the Stone project beers. The quad was decent.

I'm not a big Stone fan myself, but was told this was great. It's a golden ale.

It'll be overhyped by the same JoCo lames who overhype Chocolate Ale. In reality, it's going to be a tasty golden ale that's well worth your $11.

Anyone tried Crown Town? Heard it sold out at some places in 30-45 minutes, so yeah, probably as overhyped as Chocolate Ale... but, my dad saw a couple and grabbed them for me, so I'll try it eventually.

I wanted to have someone pick some up for me, but after the past few special releases, it hardly seemed worth the effort.

Overall I thought Crown Town was a decent tasting Instagram Ale.

Picked up a variety of beers last night:
Founders Dirty Bastard - Scotch Ale Founders Breakfast Stout - Double Chocolate and Oatmeal Stout Stone's Levitation- Amber Ale Real Ale Coffee Porter - Coffee Porter Real Ale Devil's Backbone - Belgian Tripel Franziskaner Naturtrub - hefe-weissbeir Shiner 106th Birthday Beer - Chocolate Stout The only one I have tried so far is the Birthday Beer and it is pretty damn good for the price. Heavy chocolate flavor and smell. Not sure I would call it a stout as it isn't as heavy as one would expect. |
