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!

That Whine Tunnel sounds interesting. I don't know that I'd enjoy it, but I'd surely try it just because it sounds unique.
That traditz sounds right up my alley, though. I know I'm in the minority, but I prefer a great barrel-aged barleywine over a great barrel-aged stout any day of the week. |

Kind of a long shot here, I suppose. Anybody love close to the Tired Hands brewery in Ardmore? I'm hoping to trade for some of their stuff either through here or reddit. I'm going down to Lafayette tomorrow for the release of Mosaic DDH Envie from Parish. I'm wanting to trade some of it for some Tired Hands.
I guess I'm hoping Reaper still checks in on this thread. If Reaper or anyone else is interested, I also have a bottle of Old Mad Joy Baltic Porter from Great Raft as well that's up for trade. Let me know. |

I have to say that 3 Floyds has been killing craft beer week up here with their collaboration releases. They released one with Pipeworks this week called Unicorn vs Zombie. Huge DIPA as expected.
Probably my favorite though is the hazy IPA they did with Forbidden Root called Stay Lit. It's Amarillo and Mosaic, but they added lactose and both cherry and yellow birch wood in the process. Super complex for the style, but it's really damn good. I've heard they might bottle the next batch. Here's the promo for it. ![]() |

I'm almost glad that I'm not huge into stouts, or else I might be tempted to do the same. I just saw people on Reddit were going crazy over the handjee. Figured I'd ask if it was something you were into. |

Handjee is just normal Dork Lard diabetes beer in a barrel with vanilla added. Yes, I know I misspelled the name of the beer and yes, I meant to.
Sorry, Dark Lord and its variants are just nasty. People freak over them but I've never been all that impressed. Too much residual sugar in the base beer and the variants push it way past the point of drinkability. |

I had the galaxy and citra batches. Both were good, but I definitely preferred the galaxy. I've been on a mosaic kick lately, so I'm looking forward to trying this one. You wanna trade for some Lost 40 hops?

TimBone, have you tried any of the Narrow Gauge stuff out of St. Louis? They're doing hazy IPAs like nobody's business. I don't get there all that often, but I can certainly grab you a crowler or two if you'd like when I'm out that way next.

Didn't know Boulevard made this. Looked online and Total Wine had about 6 left last night. Ordered up a 4-pack and will be going to pick it up tonight, saving it for the weekend.
I love Bourbon anything. ![]() |

Darkness Day in Minneapolis is a better event, IMHO. It's quite a bit smaller, and is basically an overnight bottle share with tents/bonfires, and ~1000 people. Some of my favorite beer memories are from that event, which isn't really even the event, it's just the lead-up. Darkness is also too sweet, but the BA variants are damn good. |

I actually prefer regular Darkness over the BA version, just due to it's hoppiness which seems to fade as it sits in barrels. I got to try it on cask this year and it blew me away. Really love that beer. |
