I'm putting this out there for General discussion.
Perhaps it's me and my palate but do the most highly rated beers just still taste like beer? What I mean is, are they really worth the hunt and the money? Now don't get me wrong, they are great. However,I feel that their hoopla over shadows the beer itself.
I'm currently drinking a bomber of 3 floyds dreadnaught...while delicious, if I had driven 8 hours round trip, I'd have been disappointed.
I had some heady topper recently too. It's delicious yes...but that much better than my favorite ipa??
Annual KBS release sold out in seconds...
I could go on but I've found recently with various beer fests and tap takeovers that they're great beers but the hype about these elusive brews was the majority of it.
Thoughts??
