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!

The Reverend Quad was a solid quad that I bought instead as of my usual Boulevard Quad and it didn't hold up to that standard. |

Saving the two others for later since I didn't quite appreciate that they were hard to get when I bought them. The beer guy at the store near my office said he dove into his stash after I talked to him a bit. |

And, as Reaper said, drink the Pliny ASAP - it even says so on the bottle. Check out the bottling date on it, too - the fresher, the better. The only Pliny i was ever able to get my hands on was 2 mos old, which is apparently past its prime, but was still absolutely delicious. |

We need like a CP wiki of beers to try.
I gotta make a list and I gotta reinstate my Sunday TV + Beer exercise.

Mostly because without my ritual, I'm not trying anything new, which is severely disappointing. I need to go over to Missouri.
Will probably have an Orval tonight.

Thanks to you and Reaper on the Pliny heads up. The bottle in my fridge is about 40 days old and I might have kept it in there for a couple of weeks if I hadn't known that freshness was key. Probably will drink it this afternoon. |

Just bought a bottle of Consecration. $11 for a small bottle hurt a bit but sounds like it will be well worth it.

So that Pliny stuff is pretty ****ing good. Really loved the long hoppy finish that was the opposite of obnoxious.

Had the Shipyard XXXX IPA last night. Tasted more like a barley wine than an IPA which makes sense since it's nearly 10% ABV and uses Caramel malts. The primary hops were cascade which I typically like, but they were light enough that they couldn't compete with the malt. Overall it was just OK IMO. I might have liked it more if I hadn't expected a much hoppier experience.
Anyone tried any others from the "Pugsley Signature Series" Shipyard puts out? |
