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!

A lot of people seem to be laughing at that one, but seems like it'll be good and probably easily available... it's in the fridge.
Thought about going to Phoenix for the EC Toasted Barrel variant, but didn't want to take the drive just to miss out on it. Classic Cola Stout will likely be the most polarizing variant as a whisky cola inspired BCS is selected for bottles this year. Classic Cola Stout features Vanilla. Lime. Nutmeg. Brown Sugar. Coriander. Cassia Bark. Orange Juice (and zest). |

I've read the cola variant is surprisingly good, and that the cherry wood is a disappointment.
I haven't sampled yet, but was able to get three bottles of regular, a Cola, a Blanton's and a Fourteen so far. |

![]() Picked up Old Forester 1910 to taste side-by-side with EC Toasted Barrel... that same guy talked me into Isaac Bowman Port Finished over Basil Hayden Toast. Grabbed another Angel's Envy Rye since it was 20% off and only $80. Still haven't tried Early Times, partly because it's so readily available at $20. |

Nice! There's a place in Phoenix that regularly has 2-4 year old BCS for around $18-20, so I've been less diligent in the past few years (plus PPLD).... figured the cola variant could be one that stays on shelves for a while. Not sure I'll see the Blanton's here though.

Had the full lineup earlier today.
My favs: DBTB Blantons 150 Fourteen Cherry Wood Regular Cola Prop Cola was the surprise. Has a good amount of spiciness to go along with a legit cola presence. Cherry Wood was another surprise. Felt it carried a more aromatic, sweet presence than the other variants. DBTB is liquid barrel. Fourteen is more rye forward, more cinnamon, less coconut version than Prop 14. People would be still tripping over their dicks for this 5 years ago. Really solid. Prop, in your face strawberry with very little barrel. Weakest of the bunch, imo. Vintages pouring all over the city today. ![]() |

I've sent an arbitrary $100 for bourbon, and beyond that it would need to be something I've tried at a bar before. Purely from a comparative/bang-for-the-buck perspective, I guess that means I should either be spending far less for beer or be willing to spend far more for bourbon. |

Expected that of the toasted barrel, that one will be savored. I had the '17 coffee a couple months ago at Hopsmith and it was so freakin' good. |

Had my BIL pick up 150 and DBTB for me today (Topeka doesn't get variants). If I can somehow find a Blantons and a Cola, i'll have the full line up for the first time ever.
