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!

Last night was my first exposure to a sour stout. Jolly Pumpkin's Madrugada Obscura. Bizarre stuff and it was delicious.
To continue on Reaper's line of information about sours, Jolly Pumpkin uses wild yeasts in all of their beers, so they end up with sour versions of a lot of typically non-sour beers. Hence, the sour stout I referenced. They also had a witbier, a brown ale, a pumpkin beer, a christmas ale, and a saison. All were tart at the least, some were full on sours. |

So nearly all of Jolly Pumpkins beers get classified as American Wild Ales in competitions. |

Before last night, I had only had La Roja, which is classified as an American Wild Ale. I saw the list of beers and noticed that none are technically classified as sours/wild ales.
We asked the waitress, "Are any of them actual sours?" Her answer..."They're all sour." She was right. |

sorry if repost (in reality.... not really sorry.....)
had this the other day at the Saucer. not a big fan of peaches, but this was a treat. weighs in at a whopping 9.4% and the peachiness isn't overpowering...just right. good stuff. ![]() http://www.newbelgium.com/beer/detai...6-45eb91116c1e |

really? even the Kriek? most times they are out of Kriek and I settle for Framboise, and I never get the peach.. I almost never drink a Lambic pure though...it's so very sweet and soda poppy, but it's not that I don't like it. it's just better tamed down with a quality wheat.

Find a Kriek or Framboise lambic from Cantillion or Dire Fontienen or Tilquin or Hanssens or Boon or De Ranke and you'll see that lambic beer is soursoursour. Gueuze, after all, is just a blend of lambics that haven't had fruit added. |

Picked up two bottles, might crack 'em open this weekend. Also chilling a Stone Brothers 10th Anniversary Ruination, a Reverb Imperial Pilsner (Boulevard Smokestack Series). Still have two bottles of the Saison Bret from Boulevard as well. Have you tried the Russian River/Sierra Nevada Collaboration "Brux"? I have another bottle of that... wow!
