Message ContemplateBeer beers 2092 º places 154 º 15:44 Sat 4/1/2017 Welcome to Ratebeer. I’ve always thought it odd that we might be called "beer snobs" when we encourage trying a wide variety of beer... drinking the same 2-3 beers and shunning all others seems much more like snobbery to me! Fresh, hoppy beer can be quite wonderful, and it’s not all IPA. These days, a fresh, hoppy pils or German/Czech type lager are more my speed. It’s good to keep an open mind about whatever beer is in your glass.

We just don’t rate them. Bourbon barrel aged beers quite often taste like bourbon and little else. True, and this can be a good thing, no?. I always feel let down when I sample a whiskey barrel aged beer and can’t taste any of the whiskey. I’ve been cheated. These things are not cheap. I looked at the top BBA beers list. https://www.ratebeer.com/tag/bourbon-barrel/ I am surprised to see I have only rated 14, and I’m surprised to see how many have been retired. Are there any on this list that are in regular year-round production?
