The Old Chicago "World Beer Tour"
 

I started the WBT in November, and my, this has truly been an adventure. For those who don't know what the World Beer Tour is, it is a rewards program for..well..drinking beer. Here is how it works:

1. Sign up for a WBT Card
2. Enter all personal information
3. Drink beer! Every beer you drink gets recorded on the card. You must drink a DIFFERENT beer each time to get credit for it.


I have reached 105 beers. 5 more, and I will have completed the World Beer Tour, and have my name emblazoned on the "Hall of Foam", a plaque in the store. Throughout the tour, I have earned other rewards, such as a deck of cards, a compass, a cooler, a hat, and many t-shirts from the various "Mini-Tours" (Cinco De Mayo, St Patricks day, etc).

Here are some of the best beers i've tried:

And of course, Corona, Heineken, and all that shit. I managed to avoid Bud/Bud light.

I still have 5 more to go. Any suggestions, that they may have? I'm thinking Tsingtao (haven't had an asian beer yet), some sort of Samuel Smith product, or an Italian beer (can't remember their names).

Tsingtao is ok, tastes alot like Lowenbrau to me. IIRC Old Chicago doesnt offer a lot of asian beers. Kir-in and Beer Lao are pretty good.

I dig Murphy's

I've found just about anything Ireland has to offer, I enjoy. Smithwicks is my favorite, though. Might be my favorite beer overall.

Anchor Steam is mmm mmmm Good :drool: :drool:

Don't know if they have it, but have you tried Stella Artois from Belgium?

Chiefs,4,me???

I wish they had an Old Chicago here. But id try a German beer, there is this one awesome one but I forgot the name. Something like Guerst Haus.

Bell's Ale from Michigan

tsingtao is nothing special.

Sammy Smith has never let me down

McCewans Scottish Ale is one of our favorites...wifey likes the Snake Bite.

My boss has done this twice. Does this mean he's an over-achiever or an alcoholic?

I don't know what they have there but some of my favs:

Samuel Smiths Oatmeal Stout
Weihenstephaner Hefe Weisen
Ayinger Ur Weisse (Dunkel)
If they have trappist ales: Orval, Koningshoeven (quadrupel - Holland's only trappist ale), Chimay (not bad but get the grand reserve)
Palauner Salvator
Spaten Optimator
Franziskaner Weisse and Dunkel (Spaten)
Samuel Adams (one of the few well-known American beers that I do like)

To name a few...damn I'm going to the beer store tonight now...

Yeah, not bad. They make a drink called the "Belgian Brunette", Stella on the bottom, Guinness on top.

Hey Saul, try that chili beer. :)
