A Beer List


That I disagree with. GQ magazine put together a list of 50 beers from around the world all beer enthusiasts need to try before they die. Having tried over half the beers on the list, I'm unimpressed. The list does include some very good beers, but also a few that are rather mediocre. I can think of several that should be on the list, but aren't, starting with "Tactical Nuclear Penguin" (http://pygalgia.blogspot.com/2009/11/more-beer-news-tactical-nuclear-penguin.html). Also, Ska Brewing's "Decadent".
So, what beers would you suggest that a beer lover try before their drinking days are over?

At 35 British Pounds Sterling per 330 ml bottle, 'Tactical Nuclear Penguin' would have to be de-licktable.

Well not exactly on topic but have you heard about boobquake day?

Well the list could go long, ya betcha. I haven't tried even close to half of those on the list. In any case here's just a few. Hop Stoopid, Chimay Grand Reserve, Samuel Smith's Taddy Porter, Celebrator Double Bock, Alucard's Red Rover, Mark's Carpet. I guess I'll give someone else a chance to dive in the vat and pull out some names.

In Oregon, Terminal Gravity from Enterprise is highly sought out. Also, Ninkasi from Eugene, Hair of the Dog- Fred; my boys at Rogue. If you would like to try something completely different I have 13 bottles of Rogue's Imperial Chocolate Stout(marketed only in Japan)left. So much wonderful beer and so little time. Go Giants and tough N/D for Tim today.

Definitely Racer5, if you like IPA.
