    I'm coming up on BA beer 1,000 pretty soon. I have the best selections of beer that I have ever had. Which beer should I drink to commemorate this personal landmark?

    None are bad options, but I recommend something a bit more memorable than any of them. Looks like you've never had a Cantillon or Westvleteren, or maybe chase down a Bourbon County variant, Backyard Rye isn't too hard to come by even if Vanilla or Cherry Rye are.

    Thought mexican cake was too spicy. I liked Bomb better. Angel's share is an awesome beer too.

    I'd go Angel's Share. I only say that because both the others kind of disappointed me.

    Given the fair chance that your Angel's Share will be flat (and trust me, it is a bummer when that happens...), I'd flip a coin on the other two.

    Congrats! I hit my 1000 recently as well.

    Why not do both Bomb! and Mexican Cake together...

    I've had none of those, but I'd like to try Bomb the most.

    Congrats! I'm almost half way there. I can't wait to see what will be on my list to try. From the one's listed, I'd go with a Mexican Cake. All are great beers! Enjoy!

    I had my Mexican Cake on my birthday so if you have a birthday coming up I would go with the Bomb! instead. Unless of course you can work out the timing of both.

    I did a Mikkeller Black Buffalo for my 1000th, IMHO the Mexican Cake is luscious.

    This may be a stupid question, but how do you check off that you've tried a beer?

    I know you included suggestions but why don't you avoid the whales and come full circle and drink the first beer you ever tried - which you likely didn't rate because it was before you started tracking them on Beer Advocate?! In my case, this would be Tuborg Gold or Molson Golden - both of which bring back great memories!

    BOMB, because it's rated higher than Cake.

    On secong thought, maybe you should drink Cake first, and drink the higher rated Bomb after.

    Hey, I'm about to celebrate my 1000th review too. @khargro2, Let's review our 1000th beers simultaneously on Skype! Wouldn't that be fun?!!!!

    In all seriousness, I am one review away from my 1000th and I have absolutely no idea what beer to mark the occasion with. The best I can do right now is Thirsty Dog Wulver because my cellar is kind of pathetic at the moment. It's either that or a '13 bottle of Allagash Interlude but I was hoping to save that a bit longer. Meh.

    Oh and I've never had any of the beers in the poll but I picked Prairie Bomb.
