Beers To Try Before you Die or the Beer Bucket 52 List 1 of 52 Dragon's Milk Stout


So this year I am also going to post 52 beers you have to Try before you die, Beer bucket list. I was going to do 365 but I just do not have the time to drink every single day, and it gives me a nice round number to hit over the year. AMounting to a new or even favorite beer every week.  Some will be beers I have always had and loved, (you all know October fest will end up there) others will be beers I step out on the limb to try and if I like it, that brew will get a quick post. Once in a while we may even get a post with an extra Skunky beer taste face. Others will fall into the category of I rate it with my normal go to rating system (against my Favorite beer) and say this is beer Number 34 you have to try before you die. It will be fun and it will expand your beer tasting horizons so buckle up. If I don’t like it or its overall rating is below 6 It won’t get posted. The ratings I will give them are 1-5 Bottles or mugs 1 (still being a great beer a 1 rating is not a bad thing and worth a try) and 5 (A must have beer. With a Special 6 Pack rating those beers being the best of the best. At the end of the year they will be rounded up by rating. So all are at least worth marking off the beer bucket list. Some better than others…….
 Beer Number 1 for 2015 is Gong to be one I just wrote about in my Jan 7 Beer and Bike Log and I am starting big out of the gate....

Dragon's Milk Stout from New Holland Brewing

A Stout with a roasted Malt flavor that has some nice vanilla taste to it that goes down with that hint of oaky bourbon.
With 11% Alcohol it also has a kick. It is a Bourbon Barrel Stout (this is where I want to go once I start making beer myself, I love that oak taste added to the beer.

This one is setting a standard I am going 5 Mugs on this one. I am only reserving the 6 pack because I have 51 more beers to go, but trust me this is a high standard even at 5
