    I'm about to have a tasting with about ten big stouts. There will be about 4 or 5 people there. I'm wondering what you folks do for food/palate cleansers at your tastings? I was thinking maybe a nice home made baguette and some crackers, can it just be that simple? I don't want wrecked palates for these awesome beers.

    Thanks!

    Water and some pretzels and crackers with light to no salt work well for me.

    Have fun. What's the lineup?

    I suggest pickled ginger. It works with sushi

    Originally I wanted to get 10 of the top 100 on BA but thats proving to be a longer task than I wanted. (trying to do the tasting on 4/6).

    So far it is
    BCBS
    BCBCS
    BCBS Cherry Rye
    CCB MZ
    AleSmith Speedway
    Abyss
    CW BB Stout
    '12 KBS
    Hoping to score a '13 KBS and a couple more good ones before then, via trade or luck.

    4 will be new to me, but the other guys are big craft drinkers but not into any online/BA type of thing so they dont really know anything about these beers. I'm mostly looking forward to them enjoying these great beers.
