Re: Beer Advocate's Top 20
 

I've only had two out of the top 20. Pliny the Elder and The Abyss. Both were absolutely fantastic beers. Browsing through the Top 100, I've had about 15 on that list. A lot of beers on that list are seasonal or limited offerings, but some are readily available year-round beers that are easy to come by. I'd love to try every beer on that list, but I don't have the time or money to make that a reality.

Re: Beer Advocate's Top 20
 

Interesting list, not a single Dogfish Head or Sierra Nevada brew in the Top 100, but 5 from Russian River. :sh

I've had 2 in the Top 10 (Westvleteren 12 & Pliny the Elder,) and about a dozen more in the Top 100. Nothing that seems to be routinely available, however.

Re: Beer Advocate's Top 20
 

Right?! :sh

Re: Beer Advocate's Top 20
 

I agree, no Dogfish head is ridiculous!

Love almost all of the Dogfish Head brews. World Wide Stout really needs to be on there.

Re: Beer Advocate's Top 20
 

Dogfish just doesn't make any beers that are that outstanding to me. I'll give them credit for Palo, WWS, 60 and 90 min., but nothing else stands out to me. They do push the limits with beer though, which is good I guess, but their one off beers have never done it for me.
Sierra Nevada is a great brewery, putting out very good, affordable everyday beers. I buy a ton of beer from Sierra Nevada, they know what they're doing. However, again, nothing over the top must have beers for me. I think if they start to put some Imperial Stouts and Barleywines in bourbon casks, then you'll see some of their stuff break into top 100. (they are doing Bigfoot in bourbon barrels soon I think, I'd love to get some:dr)
Beer is like cigars, wine, ect. It's a very subjective thing.

Re: Beer Advocate's Top 20
 

Number 3 on BA. It's in my top 5 beers I've ever had, AMAZING beer, seek it out if you like stouts.

ISO: CBS :dr

Re: Beer Advocate's Top 20
 

My Binnys got 8 bottles. Needless to say, it was gone when I arrived. :lr

Re: Beer Advocate's Top 20
 

That CBS looks great :dr

Re: Beer Advocate's Top 20
 

good timing, this was mine tonight.

Re: Beer Advocate's Top 20
 

I love Founders Imperial Stout. So much better with about a year on them. Last years are drinking great! I want to buy a case of this years release, which I think is about to hit stores soon..

Re: Beer Advocate's Top 20
 

Maybe I can be more timely on that one....had a couple Breakfast Stouts Saturday and they were great.

Re: Beer Advocate's Top 20
 

Excellent.



So, what was for lunch?

Re: Beer Advocate's Top 20
 

Uncontrollable sobbing again.

Re: Beer Advocate's Top 20
 

I have had months like that.

Re: Beer Advocate's Top 20
 

You should be fine to pick up some Imperial Stout, Tom. It's FAR less rare than CBS. If you like Breakfast Stout, you'll love Imperial Stout. I actually like Imperial better than breakfast stout.

Re: Beer Advocate's Top 20
 

Have you had KBS Tom?

Re: Beer Advocate's Top 20
 

Excellent...if you see it out, please post here so I can run out to Binnys, Nate. :tu

Re: Beer Advocate's Top 20
 

Will do bro:tu

Re: Beer Advocate's Top 20
 

Hmm... from this top 100 I've had: 8, 31, 41, 42, 57, 58, and 92.

The 100 from this list (top 100 with 1000+ reviews) are generally much more attainible and a fun list to check out. I've had 44/100 from this list. Almost half way! :noon
