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!

And the raw ratings on beer advocate can be very similar to Untappd, making it just as frustrating if a beer doesn't have enough ratings to hit their 100 point scale... but, even then I'll trust a detailed 4.17 review on there over a bunch of pics and 4.00 ratings on Untappd. |

I really should use something given all the travel... I see stuff on shelves that I remember drinking (or did I just Google it...), but I'm generally so picky, I'll opt to only try something that's either well vetted online or that I can sample or buy a single.

I participated quite a bit on BA, especially the Great Lakes forum, and those dudes in general seem to be more old school. So they're probably underscoring hype beers vs Untappd hyping beers I do like to look at pics on Untappd though as a gauge Its similar to Yelp for me. I don't care what you thought of the decor and maybe service was off that night but I can tell I'm going to enjoy that chimichanga by the pic |

Untappd can also be good for seeing when a beer was released if a brewery doesn't date their cans. Just scroll back and see when it started getting posted on Untappd

I think Untappd does a better job of adding the year it was released or batch 1, 2, 3, etc WTH I'll fire mine back up |

I'm sure both platforms have their share of shouting at clouds of how current releases aren't like it used to be in the old days when you had to walk up hill both ways in the snow to get your one bottle limit of BCS per store. |

I think there was a decade between CBS releases. So ingredient variances (droughts, contracts), brewhouse upgrades, process upgrades, scaling up the recipe, distro conditions, packaging format changes...all things that can create variance among releases |

I might have to head down to Sheboygan, Wisconsin this weekend.
Their Wolf variants are dropping this weekend - great stouts. This weekend's release: Wolf Bitter Barrel Aged Wolf with Anodyne Coffee Wolf with Blue Bottle Coffee Wolf with Dark Matter Coffee Wolf with Roseline Coffee Wolf with Raspberry & Coffee Highly recommend them and their beer if you guys are ever in lake side Wisconsin. |
