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!

Hennepin is pretty meh to me. Well, no, its better than that. But I never buy it; there are plenty of other saisons that I greatly prefer.

That said, it is an astute observation that one should stop drinking when a buzz occurs. Also, I'm curious if you rate Stouts below Imperial Stouts or just don't like such a broad category as one of your favorite styles. Other than Tank 7 (which I love) what other Farmhouse Ales do you recommend/would be popular?

Now, having said this about the Hennepin, I'm not sure I'd go out of my way to drink it like I would, say, Young's Double Chocolate Stout, Boulevard's Imperial Stout, Goose Island Bourbon County Stout, Seeyoulator or a bunch of seasonals from various breweries.

Local beer store was offering a 20% off sale, so went and bought a few things:
- Deschutes Jubel 2010 - Deschutes Black Butte - Goose Island Night Stalker - Unibroue Maudite - New Belgium Eric's Ale - 21st Century Monk's Blood Pretty good take, IMHO. I was told to try the last two by a friend, so figured I'd buy them at a discount, lol... |

Just recently quaffed a Saison Dupont at the Foundry and was impressed. I'm not a huge Saison fan but the Saison-Brett is special. I like the farmhouse ales such as the Tank 7. Surprised there isn't any Bell's on the list. My heroin could easily be the Hopslam. The list obviously ignored the Upper Midwest. New Glarus has several that should be considered. I recently had a buddy from Wisconsin send me a few Sprechers. The Scotch Ale was lovely. Damn, now I'm thirsty and all I have is Moose Drool. Great thread BTW. |

Also, Reaper, I'm equally surprised you group Saisons and Farmhouse Ale's together whilst separating the stouts.

Finally getting around to trying some Boulevard Tank 7 tonight. I have had several of the Smokestack Series and for the most part loved them. Tank 7 is great stuff and I enjoyed it as much as their tripel and quad.
The guy at the beer store was also raving about Lost Abbey Red Barn but the Tank 7 was on sale for $7 so I went with it. Probably try the Lost Abbey next. |
