ChiefsPlanet - Food and Drink 50 Beers to Try Before You Die

Camping out? No.
I like Cantillon and all, but not enough to sleep outside in December. I'll show up a few hours early and if I get in, so be it. If not, I can always go home and drink lambics out of my own collection.

One day maybe the hype train will die and we will revert to the days of Cantillons sitting dusty on the shelf for months at Gomer's.

I get my haircut around the corner and was there last month and all these tents were in front of Freebird Burritos. I guess they were giving away 1 burrito a week for a year and people were camping out for it.

I figure there will be a few, but it won't be me.

I've already got to have some Cantillon special stuff this year. If people want to camp out for some small pours of beer, that's fine.

One of my friends did that when Freebirds opened in Lee's Summit last week. He had a tent and everything we needed. I briefly considered going in the middle of the night because there were still only 20 people in line. Then I decided it wasn't worth it.

Holy Hell, Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Stout was amazing. If you can find it, buy it.

I've been waiting for this day... picked up some Yeti oak-aged chocolate stout the other day (didn't see the espresso), so I'll have plenty of good beer for the weekend. :drool:

This was my first time trying it, having only recently started getting into stouts. I'm generally more of a hophead, but I am trying to expand my horizons.

Stouts will definitely expand your horizons. There are a lot of good ones out there right now. It's a dream to have the choices that we have here (at least in KC).

We opened a 2009 BCBS a couple of weeks ago and it was sooo mellow and delicious compared to the hot, boozy mess that is fresh BCBS.

Trying the Modus Hoperandi tonight. Supposed to be a good bitter, odd to see good beer in cans. Will let you know...

Modus Hoperandi is one of my favorite, easy to obtain, session IPAs. Hoppy and delicious!
