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!

Its fine out of the fridge. It will warm up in the glass. Stouts (not Imperial Stouts) are actually pretty light.

I've had quite a few on the list but not near 27. I picked up Hennepin and Dead Guy Ale for tonight.
Having said that, I was weary about Hennepin because of my apathy towards Three Philosophers. It was a big gulp of meh. So, hopefully it lives up. And Boulevard's Imperial Stout and Rye on Rye would probably be on my list. |

I can't really argue with anything on the list, although a couple that I've tasted didn't necessarily strike me as extraordinary.
I think the list is remiss in omitting Ayinger's Celebrator Double Bock. If there is a finer double bock out there, I look forward to tasting it. |

I'm a little biased because I love them so much, but I think a list of 50 beers to try should include all the Belgian trappist beers. Especially if their going to include 9 different varieties of stout.
Reaper, that's impressive that you've had 37 of those. I usually try to get different beers whenever I can and I don't think I could even buy 37 of those beers at the store. I don't even think I could hit that at the Great American Beer Festival. Well done! |

Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout and the Nut Brown Ale were pretty much my beers of choice back in my good beer days. Love both of them. The Taddy Porter is good, too. Hell, all of their beers are good. The weird thing was when I went to England, I thought that I'd run into Samuel Smith on tap everywhere, but lots of people hadn't even heard of the beer.

I know it's not outstanding, but I still swear by Fat Tire and am pissed that it doesn't seem to be available on the east coast.

Cloudy, spicy, crisp, and tart, this might be the perfect wheat beer, and a summertime staple. Tried this one for the first time a couple of weeks ago...LOVED it. It tasted great and had no bitter aftertaste like many of the German beers. Top notch beer. |

Dead Guy Ale is fantastic. But Mac N' Jac's from Seattle is $$ - suprised it missed this list.
