    If this has been posted and discussed I am sorry I missed it, but this list of the 33 must try beers was a bit lame, in my opinion. Definitely some good beers out of the 33, but I mean come on, Coors? PBR? no need to have one, yet both on a must try list. some of the beers I would have had on it.....

    Bourban barrel aged vanilla bean Dark Lord - FFF
    Bourbon County vanilla rye Stout - Goose Island
    Hopslam - Bells
    Hennepin - Ommegang

    Those are just off the top of my head, many more examples that are must try beers!

    To be fair getting Coors Original used to be a big deal if you were east of the Mississippi. Also PBR is delightful for a cheap brew.

    I enjoy both of those beers, but would not ever say to some one " this is a beer you MUST TRY before you die....and hand them a Coors"
    I currently do have PBR in my fridge!

    Instead of flaming this list (as flaming a Thrillist has become a new hobby....) I'll take a different route and say that given the stated purpose of the list (beers to try before you die) suggests a well rounded appreciation for beer as an icon, a regional or Americana experience, or purely for taste. And with that said, how better to appreciate say, Pivo than having had a Banquet beer somewhat close by?

    I'm just going to criticize it for being click-bait, and I refuse to view it. Sorry.
