check out #8

check out these beers! writing the entry for honker's ale reminded me that i used to do a '20 good beers' list on the first iteration of this blog. here's my new list of 20, its not definitive (or in any particular order) but i think each entry is a good call.

paulaner munchen hefeweisen
sierra nevada pale ale
guinness draught (in the cans, NOT the bottles)
boddingtons (also in cute lil draught cans)
old speckled hen
bell's two hearted ale
genesee cream ale
hoegaarden
schlafly summer kolsch
pilsner urquell
bell's oberon ale
schlafly winter ESB
samuel adams boston lager
newcastle
old rasputin imperial stout
sunshine wheat by new belgium brewing
bell's expedition stout
samuel smith's oatmeal stout
bufallo bill's orange blossom cream ale
hitachino white ale

now remember, no order and not definitive. there are other good beers out there. these just come to mind this morning.

to see reviews and ratings on these, or any other beer for that matter, point your browser in the direction of either of these sites:

-the beer advocate-
-rate beer-

where you will find searchable databases and all other sorts of beer goodies. be warned that certain parts of each site will require you to register with the site. i like searching the beer advocate database, but don't want to register with that site, so ive found a handy shortcut: if you're looking for a specific beer, you can just use google. for example, if you want to see the BA entry for honker's ale, just google "honker's ale beer advocate" and the entry should pop up in your results.
PROST!
