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!

Tonight drank 2 Reve Coffee Stouts from Parish Brewing Co.
1 with my tacos and the other while smoking a My Father La Opulencia toro. Very thick with no head and super coffee flavored. 6.8% ABV. Tasted stronger and I got a nice buzz. Couldn't drink more than 2.

Founds some WeldWerks yesterday. I've found random cans a handful of times outside of CO and it's always just that... never a 4 pack or multiple singles. Just a random can on a shelf
And I will always purchase you, lonely WeldWorks deliciousness. ![]()

Seeing BBQ will always bring me back to this exchange with Reaper from 2010. It was learning moment for me that I remember and also a window into the beer journey
And yeah, still not feeling Quads 13 years later Cheers to you and Reaper Quote:

Reaper was such a wealth of knowledge in this thread. I mentioned Blanc Burgers on facebook once (and they had a really good beer menu) and Reaper went into detail on how the food selection would perfectly meld with the beer selection. I clicked on one of your quotes and browsed a few pages... good times, hunting down Boulevard beers. My older brother lives in North Carolina, and drove up there to hike last weekend and he bought a 4 pack of BBQ and some IPAs as a gift... he's not a beer expert by any means, but had apparently remembered I liked BBQ back when it was really hard to find around KC. Looking at Burial next weekend (Raleigh, wish I could make it to Asheville), expecting it to be the pinnacle of Carolina beer.

What's hilarious is that I felt insecure that a KC brewery put out a beer called BBQ that I didn't like and I honestly feel to this day that unintentional acronym was the driving force behind peoples perception of it. I can't be convinced that people around KC were like "oh hell yeah a bourbon barrel quad!" It was just acronymed BBQ and people were like I have to try that. Not to diminish the beer or peoples preferences, its obviously a quality beer and at the time I was probably trying to crush it (the original iteration was bomber format) during a noon Chiefs game or something instead of an after beef wellington dinner drink to maximize its characteristics, but yeah I'm convinced that played into the lore. I mean how many other quads are people out there seeking out? |

I think BBQ was a gateway beer, personally... Boulevard Pale Ale was my go-to for a bit, then started venturing into Single/Double Wide IPA, and BBQ provided that heavier punch that was on par ABV-wise with the readily available stouts of the time. It was far more in-your-face for its time than it is today, of course, and a good amount of nostalgia now (well, and at 12%+, enjoyable after a couple).

I also agree with your summation of BBQ being both a high quality beer on its own but also acting as a gateway beer and I feel a bit hypocritical enjoying high ABV diabeetus stouts while also at one time claiming that a to-style-beer (BBQ) being too sweet for my liking. I think the point I'd like to land on is that both BLVD and Reaper were operating on a level way above where I was at at the time and did it with grace while also pushing forward my beer appreciation...and consumption. |

Up in Madison for work and ran upon some super fresh Hop Butcher. Tonight's pour is Pizza Puff canned 8 days ago. Double IPA with Nectaron, Citra, Vic Secret and Superdelic.
