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've had some decent beer this week.
Untitled Art's German Chocolate Pastry Stout - pretty smooth, and not overly boozy for 17%. Drekker's new Fluff Stuff Raspberry - solid, but I prefer the mango and strawberry. I also tried their Shark Punch Braaaaaaaains. Good stuff. Headed to Cocoon Brewery tomorrow - probably my favorite brewery in Green Bay. Honestly, most of the breweries in Green Bay are ass, outside of Cocoon. |

Had two of these last week at Oskars Slider Bar in Louisville.
Einstok Toasted Porter Low ABV made them easy to drink on a very humid, hot day with the food. Nice tasty smoky flavor. |

If you do have the extra time - check out Voyageur Brewing up in Grand Marais, some really solid beer, a great atmosphere and a pretty sweet view. |

It's pretty cool seeing some of the beers I work with daily being consumed by fellow Chiefs Planeteers. |

I was in Portland for the fourth of July and got to hit up Tree House on the way up which was a bucket list for me, but Bissell Brothers was awesome as well. And they have probably the greatest brewery business location I've ever seen, placed strategically across the parking lot from the Portland Childrens museum. So you are sitting there and it's just wave after wave of weary parents needing a drink in the worst way after herding their kids for 3 hours. They just print money on the weekends because of that.

![]() I stopped by Tree House Tewksbury a couple times and that property is freakin' amazing... I'd get there right at opening because so many reviews talked about how crazy it was, but never saw it out of control and at most it took a couple minutes to get beer. It used to be a golf club house and they have a great outdoor space. IPAs were great of course, and they had some really good stouts as well (of course I'm the only person in the world who goes to Tree House and orders the stouts). Trillium in downtown Boston was a favorite, too. |

Man, I'm just hearing about The Great Taste of the Midwest - located in Madison, Wisconsin every year.
There are approximately 1400 beers to try for only $70. I'm definitely hitting it up next year. You guys should check out the breweries on the list. Insane. |

Whats cool about The Taste is breweries are required to represent to attend. Lot of breweries just send kegs to festivals and its local volunteers pouring them, but with The Taste you get to interact and network with the actual brewers, not just at the event, but the day or 2 leading up to with special tapping events happening all over Madison. Its an actual brewers festival Pro tip: its a lottery system for tickets (at least it was in '21 but that was coming out of Covid) unless you live in Madison then I think they go on sale to locals at like HyVee or someplace comparible. So even if you think there's a chance, I'd book a refundable room now and cancel if you can't make it. Also the whole thing is totally walkable from the capital area and they offer free rides back. Also join the Facebook group and you can usually find tickets at cost if you don't land the lottery In '21 to get tickets you had to physically mail them a check and if it got cashed you knew you won the lottery and they mailed you the tickets. Its Midwest AF ![]() Its a world class run festival though. I hope to return one day Oh and you get the taster glass ![]() |

Bring snacks and water. I think I took a Coleman backpack cooler and some foldout chairs for the wife and I I know Surly does an event in the days leading up. Toppling Goliath brings the heat. Drekker brings the goods. Download the app and see where breweries are if you want to make a plan. Lot of people go crazy over the hype beers but there's plenty of great shit pouring all day. Thought I read where Goose isn't going this year so maybe no BCBS but there's better stuff there anyway Not sure what its like there now but we got perfect weather in '21 which added to the joy Madison is awesome |
