Ok. So we had two blow outs: ten fidy and founders both win big.

Should make for a G8 finals. Both are outstanding.

Can founders unseat TenFidy?!?!

Drink and decide....

Finals:

(#1) Ten FIDY by Oskar blues breweries(http://brew.oskarblues.com/ob-beers/seasonals/ten-fidy/

vs.

(#2) Founders imperial stout(http://foundersbrewing.com/our-beer/imperial-stout/)

.....and should you chose to do the consolation game (should be a good matchup as well):

(#3) Old Rasputin by north coast brewing co(http://www.northcoastbrewing.com/beer-rasputin.htm)

Vs

(#4) Victory storm king(http://www.victorybeer.com/beers/stormking/)

i'm in -

My wife was actually asking when it was going to start this year!

i liked the 16 ! more beer! but yeah, it took awhile -
one way to fix that would be have a north and south bracket, and have the winners play each other - where all participate.

liking your idea better. weekly style contests - i'd probably start on wednesday tho :) - let it run through sunday. def could use some help expanding the knowledge into different styles........

i shall add to drink responsibly...not good news

Frankly, that's my motivation. I want to expand my own knowledge of different types of beer. Over the weekend I bought a few good quality Belgian trippels and compared them. And that was the genesis of this idea.... Eg, put the 4 highest rated beer of each type (per beeradvocate.com and/or ratebeer.com) ...why mess with mediocrity. What's the absolute best imperial stout available in this area? the absolute best porter?, etc.

Damn i was hoping for How many ABV 10%ers until you fall down or biggest Beer Bong consumed. I have been practicing all last year and could take down the house. Just hand over the trophy...

You could do the whole competition in one night.

For example, drink 6 bottles of imperial stout and I know I would be on the floor

Any extra points for drinking in the rain? Night drinking?

its the inverse for beer - drinking during the day when it is nice out, or for breakfast. or hot beer.

I think drinking in one park then driving to another park and drinking would be bad cop rule, correct me if I am wrong Pat

I will not be awarding epic points!!! ;)

Your reward for epic drinking will be inebriation.

Thinking of starting with imperial stout.

Here's a "best of" list from beeradvocate. I know I have seen the following at local shops: founders, ten Fidy, stone, old Rasputin. Imperial stout ain't my thing so if some of the other top ones are widely available in our area please lemme know (eg, is that Firestone walker beer...#2 on the list...widely available?)

Btw, to keep it apples-to-apples we probably shouldnt mix "regular" imperial stout with the oak-aged varieties.

Thoughts?

Yeah I was going to suggest stouts. Victory Storm King Imperial Stout is very good.


Can we do chocolate stouts next?
