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!

We all can ID different flavors in beer just as we can in wine. You drink what makes you happy. Bud tastes like crap to me, always has, always will. Green apples to you, thats fine. I taste old rotted hay and sawdust. I enjoyed some lambic beers in France a few weeks ago. I enjoyed some. Others not so much but enjoyed the experience. Im going to have a Boulevard Pilsner and see what I can pick up.

I also agree that Bud is not a pleasant drinking experience. You're using figuartive language when you say it tastes like old rotted hay, though. Right? Because there are beers -- saisons, biere de gardes, guezes, unblended lambics -- that have a heavy hay/barnyard flavor to them. Bud isn't one of them. Bud is pretty much straightforwardly cooked rice, green apple, and a bit of those nasty beechwood chips. |

Had it while eating at Brasserie in St. Louis and really liked it.

I love it so much. Saison Dupont Vielle Provision is the classic, standard-bearer of the style. It is a gorgeous beer that pairs so well with so many dishes. I buy it pretty much constantly. It isn't the best of the style, but it is pretty close.

Concessions have VASTLY improved with the upgrades. BlueMoon and Boulevard seem to be pretty popular out there, along with your standard fare in stadium beer drinking. If you like mixed drinks, it's kind of suprising at the selection of those that are available.

Reaper is, literally, writing a book on beer.

Reaper I am curious where do you find all these beers that you reviewed or what made you want to try them? I have never heard of half of these.

Anyone had the Boulevard Amber Ale? Me likes.
I know, it's probably something "common" that "everyone" likes. That's great, too. |

I want to know how a grad student can afford to drink so well. It's not fair!

Drink two $15 beers for a total of $30. That would be drinking some seriously good beers. A $30 bar tab for a night on the town would be pretty light for most college kids. It's pretty easy to go out and drop a hundred in a night if you're really drinking much and bar hopping.
