It's a little late to buy new beers-- but given my $35 limit on the east coast (and help from my fridge), I think I did pretty well. You'll notice that there aren't' many Belgian styles represented -- that's cause they cost too much per bottle and because half the guys attending are pretty casual drinkers and I didn't want to completely scare them away, haha.
Also, you'll notice we have Heineken Can vs. bottle pretty early. Some of the guys wanted to taste skunking-- and I heard on the Sunday Session that you can taste the skunk difference if drinking those side by side-- so we'll see!
Here's the list, in order of how I initially intend to drink them (different flights separated by spaces) -- If you have any suggestions on the order to enjoy, I'd love to hear it!

. The only other change I'd make would be to bump the bock up into the higher position in the Dark Lager, my concern being the sweetness could mask some of the following impressions.
