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!

Nice, now that list I can already tell I'm off to a better start

I've had 18 of these, only 2 in the top ten.

Have to take all of these user/member generated lists with a grain of salt. One beer site will give a beer an 82, the other a 98. Hardly authoritative, but always an interesting read, because after reading the lists, usually you want to go out and try at least a few beers that you haven't experienced yet, and sometimes, you read it and realize that a beer that has been right under your nose, but you've been overlooking or ignoring, is on there (even though some other website might rate it somewhere between stagnant pond water and carbonated mule piss).

Only ones I have had in the top 10 are the 2 Plinys. No damn Founders in CA. Bullchit!

D.C. is pretty good area for craft beer. The city has some good gastropubs from what I hear.

I really wish Founders would expand to the western U.S.

Missing 7 of the top 20, where are you CBS?!? Surprised King Henry is so high, will have to try that one as well. Dirty Horse is next to impossible to find, I've had a couple of Darklord treatments but not the straight vanilla, and still yet to have Pliny the Younger or Citra

Rare D.O.S with only 33 rates, gimme a break

Not yet, everywhere is sold out and/or not carrying them anymore.

GreekGodX · 01-10-2012, 05:05 PM

I got to have CBS on tap at Founders the day it was released, that is after I got 2 bottles

Loved KBS as well, going to this years release.

Need to do some major drinking. Although I can also mark off the IPA's. I've never met one I like.

We have similar tastes, Son, no love for any IPA I have ever tried.

I didn't like IPAs for a long time and then it's like something just clicked for me and now I love them. I can definitely see not being into it though. Especially when so many companies are just stuffing more hops in to say they have the hoppiest, most bitter IPA out there. To each their own.

Doubtful unfortunately, they only have it very rarely apparently. You'd think with the thousands (scary number) of people at Hunahpu that would potentially run over there they'd schedule to have it ready then, but I'm not holding my breath for that.
