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!

I didn't mean to come off as rude...To be honest Im jealous. I rarely allow myself to splurge on great beer because I have trouble justifying it. I love good beer but I think I'm too much of a noob to really appreciate it. See if I spent that much, I wouldn't get nearly the return that someone like Reaper gets...

My "splurge" beer is usually a six of Boulevard. My regular beer is either PBR or Old Style. If Yuengling gets here, which they're saying that it's about to, then that will probably become my goto drinking beer.

We enjoyed a number, I would hate to know the number, of different beers in France, Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg, and Austria a few weeks back. In most cases we were in small pubs that had a limited number of brands and varieties but every one had a local or two that we tried. My drinking partner is a huge fan of wheats and we found a number that he really did not enjoy and he found that his normal distain for pilsners was misguided when he had really fresh local pils. The fun was in the differences and in the variety that we generally lack here in the US. And the conversations with the locals was fantastic. One German gent, after some heated and spirited conversation on politics and the economy bought a round and said all differences are put aside over a glass of beer!

Eh, better than Blue Moon...but yeah, the sweetness is why I'd be iffy on letting it too close to the top 50. Top 100 of beers to try once, though...in there somewhere.
Now if you want a full-bodied beer that should've been put into the top 50, go to Munich, Germany and get the Hofbraeuhaus Original. |

In rural area almost every town or group of towns has a local brewery that makes some excellent stuff you cannot get outside of that area. We hit those usually at lunch and they serve some fantastic food as well. This will demonstrate what vast numbers there are...http://www.beer-club.info/beer-brand...er-brands.html Then there is chocolate. And Nuttella. I lost 48 pounds before we went. I just gained 4.

Hoppin' Frog's BORIS Oatmeal-Imerpial Stout Orval Chimay Young's Double Chocolate Stout Rogue's Dead Guy Ale There's plenty more and those were really a quick thinking top 5. BORIS is my current favorite beer. The Chimay may be the most flavorful I've had, though.

Someone gave me a six of Bar Harbour's Thunder Hole Ale. I wasn't expecting much for it given the packaging and randomness of gifting but it was a really delicious brown ale. I was impressed. Though, it might have been just me being caught off guard.
