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!

As far as coffee, do you like Early Riser, if you've tried it? I tend not to drink porters, since by definition they're usually far more subtle, but it's in the same 'meh, might grab it sometime' category. |

I agree about porters, but Founders Barrel Aged Porter is pretty tasty. Haven't seen it around for awhile though. |

Despite it being 100 on beeradvocate, I've never liked their KBS, but liked it a bit more when they added maple syrup to it.... and still have one last bottle of CBS, which is far better. |

Crazy that I think Toppling Goliath is the best damm brewery I have ever had and I have yet to have one stout. And I love stouts.

It's a little strange they don't have a flagship kind of stout that you can find anywhere, but I guess that just means they don't half ass them at all. We've gotten their IPAs and Sues and things for about 6 months, but there have only been 3 kegs of their stouts in the state (Term Oil Monster Cookie, Mornin' Delight, and Term Oil Fluffernutter). I felt like a ****ing boss walking out of their taproom with two Term Oils. ![]() |

I've had a couple of their IPAs and was absolutely blown away. I don't typically care for stouts but I'd drink one of theirs because I'm certain everything they make is gold.

They've also stretched it out from a weekend event into 5 days and taproom instead of the block party format. So it'll be interesting to see how it goes. Maybe they think expanding the days, especially adding week days, will spread more people out but that seems optimistic unless they do reserved seating or some other crowd control measure. The problem (a good one to have) is not knowing when things are getting tapped. They do let you double fist though so the strategy in the past is to grab 2 different pours, wife grabs 2 different pours, jump back in line and share/repeat. A few of those like the double barrel Blantons/Eagle and 4 Year Rare are new so the hoards will be circling. |

Is the Triple Barrel 2018 or did they do that other years, too? At 19%, I'd like to try that one in another decade. ![]() |

There were a couple years in KC where I was done with the BCS hype... having to go out and shop for it on the one day you want to sit at home and avoid shopping, with limits of 1 bottle/person. Then I moved here and bought an entire case of it and can generally get as much as I want. I'll show up at the beer store at 10am for the variants, but can also still find 2-3 year old variants for like $17 in Phoenix. I think it's still one of the better stouts out there and will always appreciate it for setting the standard years ago. Can't help to think the namesake of Toppling Goliath had at least a little bit to do with Goose Island and BCS, given their amazing stouts (the server said it was mostly business related and beer in general). |
