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!

Definitely one of their best and is getting released next month
Quote:
Barleywines: SJ is fire this year, one of the best that I can remember Blackberry Finn is great, especially if you like fruited barleys Ryeway to Heaven is fantastic as always Maple Jacket is VERY sweet. Good but ideal in the 4-6 ouce range Deths: Regular Deth is very good this year, directly compares to regular BCBS Cafe Deth is one of the best years I can remember (its the base for Supermassive, so not as much in your face coffee) Deth by Raspberries, honestly did not love this. Any and all barrel presence is overwhelmed by the tart of the raspberry. Vanilla Deth, solid vanilla BA stout but don't expect it pastry style. Its much more traditional and balanced than a beetus stout. I personally don't love it but appreciate the traditional approach. Dark Mode, technically not a Deth, but a solid BA milk stout. Nothing special and nothing to complain about. Past releases: If you see anything with VS, just order it (VSOJ, VSOR, VSOD). These are (very)special blends of SJ, Ryeway, and Deth. There are also some double barrel variants of these out there and all are great (DBVSOD). Thundertaker would be another must order if available. |

Finally tried Utopias World Wide Stout.... and at $10/12oz, it's pretty good, but the price point is terrible.
Reminds me of a thinner BCS. I haven't had the regular stuff in a while, but wish I had bought both because I have better memories of the regular. I'd rather pay $200 for Utopias than $10 for this beer. |

I know your post is 4years old but I recently found this beer and I agree that it is spectacular, so I searched in this thread to see if someone has posted about it. If you havent had it, you should seek it out. Wouldnt want to drink on after mowing the lawn or a long hike or spending a sunny day kayaking, but I find them particularly wonderful on cold, dark winter nights, like tonight. Give them a few minutes to open up and they are spectacular.

So, I stopped chasing BCS a couple years ago, just because of the price point, and I'm not huge on BA Stouts like some of yall. However, I stumbled across a few of this year's bottles in Whole Foods on Saturday. I grabbed a couple bottles of the Cola variant, because it's usually the more gimmicky variants that catch my attention.
Interested to try it. Maybe this weekend. Or maybe when the Chiefs beat the absolute dogshit out of the Chargers tomorrow night. |

I'm thinking about a few side-by-sides for the holiday weekends to hopefully help justify the high prices of rarer bottles. Only have one regular, but maybe something like Blanton's vs. Original, Cherry Wood vs. Double Barrel Toasted Barrel... and Proprietors would probably stand alone for the strawberry. Be on the lookout for Bearcat's 50 Beers to Try Before You Die Holiday Shit Post Extravaganza! |

That looks fantastic! Cost per bottle? How hard to get?

It was around $30 a bottle.
Within the context of hyper local, sought after beers it was fairly easy to grab. Want to say it was up for online purchase for close to 24 hours before selling out. That said, its aged in rum barrels that previously held maple syrup. So a barrel that aged rum, then was dumped and filled with maple syrup, then dumped and filled with this beer. Rum barrel aged beers aren't as in demand as bourbon barrels so that likely contributed to a lower demand. The beer on the left was aged 17 months in Elijah Craig barrels. |
