Poll: How many beer styles have you had?

83/104 styles

 

I'm at 82 but only a few more styles that I can easily get hold of. Like malt liquor. Even though I've had the bull and OE back in the day, I can't give an intellectually honest tick based on that. So a random Hurricane or something similar may pop up on a WBAYDN or NBS thread! So other than malt liquor, I need:

English Bitter (I know I've at least had Honker's but didn't review it)
American Steam (Anchor - how the hell haven't I had that???)
Low alcohol beer (Can I please just do Sharp's off memory??? They are so awful!)
Both Japanese lagers (should be easy enough...)
Rauchbier (of which I have some green labeled German smoked beer hiding at home)
smoked beer (can find that easy enough I guess)
Kvass (can get at Euro food store, that's easy)
Sahti (DFH Sah'tea should be easy to get)
Flanders Oud Brun
Gueze
Gose
American Wild Ale (gonna have to bite the bullet on those last four, but after having Flanders Red Ale and funky Saisons, I'm going to have a tough time knocking those back......) that I can knock out. After that it gets tough. Need advice on easily obtained these:

Biere Brut
Faro
Roggenbier

 

Of the ones listed on this site here... all of them...

but that's still not all of them

 

93

 

That I have reviewed on here, 50.

Including the ones I haven't reviewed on here, I'd say somewhere in the 60-70 range, most likely.

 

97

Daayyyuumm....thought I'd be missing a few more than that. Guess I've been busy

 

God knows though I'd expect I've tried them all by now. And many beers which cannot be classified.

 

97, with 2 more in my fridge. Still need

Bier de Champagne
Braggot
English Pale Mild Ale
Scottish Gruit/Ancient Herbed Ale
Happoshu

 

92 according to my profile, but I know that it's 93 (I'm OCD and keep a checklist). Finding the anomaly is going to be annoying.

I was actively trying to have one of each type, but got bored with it.

edit: Holy shit. I found it in like 45 seconds! It was Scottish Gruit. I never rated the Alba Scots Pine.

 

Had all of them with the possible exception of Kvass. I did have something that claimed to be one (in a big plastic bottle), but I have no idea if it really was.

 

I've had all styles listed here on BA.

 

Can you buy it at retail stores or do you have to trade with somebody who bought it when they were in Japan.

 

While I've not had it yet some of the recent reviews indicate places such as a few Japanese restaurants having it on offer. Never seen it in a store here but on my ToDo list is a visit to a restaurant in Philly who list it on their beer list.

 

28 currently according to the site, but I have had far more than that. I just haven't gotten around to posting reviews in a while.

 

85. I do not really try to find different styles so am a bit surprised it is that high.

 

Wow...I'd have thought that I would be in the 1-20 range....maaaybe 21-30...but I went and looked up all the styles on here and I ended up in the 41-50 range. Right at 50. Not as widely drunk as most of ye, I'd say, but certainly more so than I thought. Very cool

 

I looked at the list and counted the ones I haven't had...8-10 is my guess

 

100, got a few left to go!

 

There aren't many, but there are some Japanese restaurants in the States that sell imported (maybe grey market...but I don't think so?) Hopposhu. I had the Kirin one that way a few years ago.

 

Looks like 58 since I started rating a couple of years ago. I need to step up my game according to the current poll results!
