50 Best Beers (as rated by GQ)
- Thread starter N8 v2.0
- Start date
Ridemonkey members do not read GQ the ratio of girls pants in the magazin frightens their manliness.
A surprisingly good list for a non-beer publication.
I count 21 that I have tried. The Pretty Things Jack D'Or and Pliny the Elder are my personal favorites from the list.

Couple of good beers in that list..... but Bud???????
The author is either stupid or is trolling.

I'm sure it's cuz they spend $$$$ in advertising in the rag. Kinda like how Mountain Bike Action always rates Specialized at the top in their bike tests.
I'm sure you can see past it.
the very first one that pops up... Allagash White. Liz and I ALWAYS have a case of that on hand.
i had a Jack D'Or on tap @ Lord Hobo a couple of weeks ago. good stuff. i think i have had 26 or so of the beers listed. did the all the images show up for people? in the middle a lot of what looked like european beers didn't show for me.
That's one of the wife's favorites. Go up to Maine and it's on tap everywhere.
I see them all, and my work web blocker is pretty aggressive.
My count was 17.
As long as Oscar Blue's DPA made it on there (which it did), I can confirm the list has some merit.
Me too! They are missing so many though.
I can gladly say I have not any of the top fifty. Only 51, 52 and 55.
I aint got that kinda time to scroll through 50 beers.
I gotta agree with you on that one, man. Oskar Blues is really doing some fantastic work. Their Scottish Ale is one of my absolute favorites.
Yeah, not saying 51,52 are my daily beers. But I have drank them. I will drink 56 whenever.
-Anchor Steam: Meh. Fine, not awesome. Nothing very exciting.
-Dale's Pale: Pretty good, awesome for something out of a can.
-Rogue Dead Guy: Not a fan really.
-Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout: Tasty. Recommended.
-Smuttynose Barleywine: Win.
-Stone RIS: More win.
-Stone Old Guardian: Still win.
-Speedway Stout: FVCKING AWESOME.
-Hop Rod Rye: Tasty. Not that exciting, but pretty good.
-DFH 120: Interesting, and worth a try. A little over the top for something to drink regularly.
-Port Shark Attack: Mediocre.
-Magic Hat #9: No thanks.
Those are my thoughts for the ones I've tried. I ignored some of the crap at the end, ie Bud and Tecate.

Damn right. Whenever I pick up a six pack of Dale's Pale Ale, I always get this odd look from the liquor store clerks wondering why an IPA comes in a can, and why it's relatively pricey. So damn good though!
Isn't OB cans sold in four packs only?Damn right. Whenever I pick up a six pack of Dale's Pale Ale, I always get this odd look from the liquor store clerks wondering why an IPA comes in a can, and why it's relatively pricey. So damn good though!
Only their high octane ones.
No Firestone = beer list fail. 
They had a few Stone brews on there, but didn't see Ruination IPA, which is surprising to me. Unless of course I just missed it. Man that stuff is good.
No New Glarus No Care.
Less traffic in that forum.
My number is so low I wil not post it, but it's not 0. Instead I wil head out to my local Bev Mo and get some of these beers and start drinking!
No Bells either... Or Bourbon County Stout.
then why bother having sub-forums?
Bell's is a beer i consistently hear good things about but i can't get out here.
We get sixers of Old chub here. 8%.
Edit: Maybe you were thinking of Flying Dog? I know their speedball beers only come in four-packs....
Out here 8% only counts as "average" alcohol content.
I buy four packs of Tenfidy and Gubna IPD(best IPA out IMHO) all the time.
I finally found their 4-packs (my local beer store only has the 6ers), and they were quite pricy ($12-13/4-pack?). Is that the going rate for these? Most uber-special seasonal 4-packs are usually around the $9-10 here.
don't front....you probably drink thisOut here 8% only counts as "average" alcohol content.
I regularly find Dale's, Yella Pils, and Old Chub here (North Seattle) for about $7-9 (depends on how yuppy an area I'm shopping....) a sixer. I have to go to a specialty beer only store to find TenFidy and Gubna and those are around 1.50 - 2 per can.
Actually, the title of the article is 50 Beers to Try Right Now not The Top 50 Beers Ever.
My bad on the thread title.
I like Bell's but it is really big. All of their beers are really big. I have to be in the mood for it.
No, homeslice...Gordon and Gubna come in four packs of cans and go for like $14.
8% is medium octane.
