    1-10 on one day.

    one week later, 11-20.

    Otherwise, theyll all run together after beer 8. I had the same problem with a Founders takeover. All of their BA offerings started to meld together. Kind of sad when CBS and Better Half run together, which is exactly what you dont want to run into.

    I agree. Too many for one tasting. Pick the ten you like most. Send the rest to me.

    I agree with the consensus here. Great selections but people won't appreciate the subtle differences after a while. Reduce the number of selections and it will be a much better tasting.

    I love these "I'm asking about tasting order but I really just want to show off" threads.

    Pour all of them into a sufficiently sized punch bowl and go hard. That's what a true baller would do.

    I would agree to split the beers up....only try 10 at your tasting. The other 10 you should take into the bathroom with you and drink them alone.

    This exactly. I believe the last stout tasting I had, there was 22 different selections. We narrowed it down to 18, and still only made it to # 9. We did the rest the following weekend.

    I'll host a chilli tasting, which order would you follow??

    The line up:

    - Ghost chilli
    - Habanero
    - Trinidad Scorpion
    - Morouga red
    - Naga Morich


    Just kidding, the list looks impressive but seriously break it in (at least) two separeate tastings.

    Cheers

    I would shift class V towards the middle or rear of the tasting. It's a damn fine stout, but I think the others are a bit better. I'd save my palate for those. ( or maybe Imy opinion is slightly biased because I have it all the time)
