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!

I probably average 5-6 on the weekend. I don't usually drink during the week unless it's a special bar/brewery/sporting/concert event. I.e. a Surly Darkness tapping here last Thursday.

![]() The BBQ will be opened no later than 1/1/16. I bought it to enjoy over the holidays. Just didn't know about BCS. 1st time getting my hands on some. Figure I'll crack a bottle in the next few weeks, then maybe let a bottle sit until next fall. |

Maybe 2 or 3 for an entire work week, will usually open a 22oz bottle on Friday night (last night it was a 22oz bottle of Southern Tier Warlock followed by two 12oz Prairie Bombs, which is a lot for me). Maybe one or three over the weekend. I brew my own, too, which sometimes increases consumption a little, but not much, since it'll last several months... 5 gallons is a lot of beer. |

In the summer and fall, it gets pretty out of hand (for me) - and I tend to put on a ton of weight. ![]() I'll often go through a few four packs of Two Hearted Ale and/or The Calling plus anything that I pick up to try. Those two are my "daily drinkers". |

You do craft beer, Lew? I saw you posting in the mixed drinks thread a bunch, but never anything with beer. I just got into it myself a couple of years ago, and this thread has had a lot of influence on me. You should listen to some of the recommendations around here and give it a go. Find a style you like, and try and find the best beers for that style. |

Drinking Lagunitas Brown Sugga Ale this evening. Good stuff. I really appreciate Lagunitas Brewery's ability to make a shit ton of high AVB beers that are delicious.

That said some of the stuff in this thread I really have to try as well. I like Ale's, browns and especially reds. Stouts and porters are usually good too. Tried a few sours beers a friend had early this summer and really had a good one although I don't remember the name. I do not care much for any IPAs. Once I whittle down my stash of bottles, I think I'll hit up Total Wine with a list and see what I can find. |

I think it's quite possible to add the Boulevard Rye on Rye to this list.
If you like whiskey, you'll LOVE this beer. Quote:

I'm not really familiar with shops in your part of town though. Sorry man. I have heard good things about Ground Control and Peoria Artisan Brewery is right in your neighborhood. I don't think either one has bottles to go but they are pretty close to you and worth checking out. |

Definitely right on Ground Control, cool place. Another place is the Litchfield Tap Room. Check them out online. They do growlers and cycles beers in and out all the time. It's the same owners as the Peoria Artisan Brewery. Really small place here in Litchfield but 8-12 beers brewed by them available all the time. |

Drinking Twin Sisters Double IPA by Left Hand. 9.6% is pretty serious in that category.
Stupid good considering it was $1.50/22. |
