This is where the rules and whatnot will be. Basically, I’m drinking 365 different beers in a year and I’ll keep track of them here. You get to see what I drink and when. It’ll be a good time for everyone. I swear.

  1. Not sure how hard they are to get hold of in your part of the globe, but I always drink Cascade Premium or James Boag (both from Tasmania). Another big name is Australia is Crown Lager. Pleas don’t bother with VB or Fosters :)

  2. Hi, a small brewery has just opened in our village (Cheddar, England). I highly recommend it. It is the best real ale I have tasted in a long time. Not sure if their distribution channels are that wide at the moment, but if you get a chance try it!

  4. You should try the Norwegian beer “Halling” by Aass (yes the name is correct..) Very tasty and perfect after a long day in the skislopes. Good luck on your project! Morten

    Comment by Morten — January 8, 2007 @ 5:58 am

  5. You should try Zoomer - from the New Holland Brewery in Holland, MI - the stuff is fantastic.

    Comment by Mike — January 8, 2007 @ 6:00 am

  6. You know, it’s funny. My New Year’s resolution was to drink *less*. However, I think yours is going to be more fun. ;)

    Could I suggest some beers you should add to your queue?

  7. Hi Dann

    I love your idea for trying all different beers and I’m looking forward to your reviews. If you’re ever looking for suggestions, I can recommend some great brews (in my opinion at least) as I’ve done a good amount of tasting myself over the last few years. If you’re not already familiar with it, you should check out http://beeradvocate.com - it’s a great site. They also just came out with a magazine subscription.

    I’m curious to know..what area are you located in?

    Comment by sarah — January 8, 2007 @ 6:03 am

  8. Hi Dann,

    Not sure if anyone has suggested it yet, but definatley give ‘Coopers Pale or Sparkling Ale’a crack. This is the South Australian patriot’s drink of choice!

    Cheers

  9. You should try some Shiner Bock. It is far and away my favorite beer.

    Comment by Erik — January 8, 2007 @ 6:09 am

  10. Dude, I pray for your success and I envy you! I love beer and I fully support your endeavour in mind, body and spirit(s). Please do not forget to drink the following beer, as they will make your experience an unforgettable one:

    - Leffe brune (Belgium), probably the best beer a man (or woman) can drink. period.

    - Samuel Adams Boston Lager (USA), although American beer in general tatses like tap water (at least the big ones), this one does actually have a rich and herb taste

    - Ueli Beer (CH), Basel’s own and renowned microbrewery brews the best beer one can drink in Switzerland. Unfortunately there’s no export of this one, so hop on over and enjoy! :-)

    Cheers!

    -Jones

  11. Good idea! :)

    If you like beer. I like wine more or vodka and cocktails :)

    But try Barbar it a blond beer with a light honey flavour… and a higher percentage alcohol than normal beer…

    Comment by SD — January 8, 2007 @ 6:27 am

  12. Hello

    Interesting resolution :P

    You should visit some EU countries. You can find here more than 365 types of beers and you also must know that most eu beers are brew locally (eg, in the country where they are sold) using the original recipe used under license and some of them get a different taste because of water and the other ingredients used.

    Heck, I think you can get 365 types of beer only in Romania (but I wouldn’t drink even half of them :D )

    Good luck and next year I might join you with a wine resolution.

    Comment by coditza — January 8, 2007 @ 6:33 am

  13. I suggest you come back to the first one’s at the end of you challenge, just to re-rate them… I think the rating of Stella was pretty fair, but I think you might have overrated Becks and Grolsch… And I definitely believe that you’ll get more and more critic as times goes by… you’ll certainly will get to know beer in depth. Good Luck.

    Comment by egh — January 8, 2007 @ 6:39 am

  14. Many great beers here : http://www.unibroue.com/products/bieres.cfm. I don’t know if you can get a hold of them other than coming to Quebec but its worth a shot.

    Comment by Bob — January 8, 2007 @ 6:49 am

  15. I think this is s great idea. I think you should keep and or at least take a picture of each bottle (or Can if your into that sort of thing). I have a collection of 120+ bottles that I have tried and added to the book shelf I actually need another self or storage system cause my current one is overflowing.

    I am originally from Philadelphia and the local beer to me was Yuengling, I an a VERY big fan of the Lager. It is my daily drinker. But they have a fer different flavors. www.Yuengling.com I have brought bottles back from EVERY foreign country I have been to as of yet. The only think I can’t stand is ALE With the exception to Belgin White ales. Good luck and have fun!

    Comment by DASH — January 8, 2007 @ 7:01 am

  16. I’d recommend Lancaster Milk Stout (if you can get it where you are… I think it’s local to eastern PA), Murphy’s Irish Stout, Fat Tire Amber Ale, Otto’s Black Mo Stout (again, PA), Yuengling Lager, Affligen (sp?) Dopple and Tripple, Rogue Dead Guy Ale, Dogfish Head Punkin Ale (seasonal, and yes that’s punkin not pumpkin), Spaten Optimator and Oktoberfest (seasonal), and, for dessert, Melbourne’s Strawberry. I have a huge list of other very good beers, so feel free to email me if you’re running out of ideas.

    Comment by Dave Maino — January 8, 2007 @ 7:04 am

  17. You have to try Lion’s Head. It is THE cheap college drinker’s beer of Eastern Pennsylvania. Thing is, it’s actually not toooo bad, and there’s little picture riddles under the caps, which, for some reason, I just can’t figure it out, get harder as the night goes on. Lol. Enjoy!

  19. Hey man! Nice initiative :D

    I’d like to promote my favorite hometown beer. Hancock Black from Skive, Denmark. It’s dark and I like it alot :)

    Comment by Jacob Korsgaard — January 8, 2007 @ 7:22 am

  20. Try Yuengling. It’s a Lager made in PA. It’s not expensive or fancy but in my opinion it can’t be beat even by the fancy stuff.

    Comment by Dan — January 8, 2007 @ 7:27 am

  21. If you’re looking for beer recommendations I have a few for you, all from a local brewery.

    Boundary Bay Brewery
    http://bbaybrewery.com/

    The Scotch Ale and Oatmeal Stout are amazing.

    Good luck with your goal!

    Comment by Brandon — January 8, 2007 @ 7:31 am

  22. Hey Dann, I just heard of your quest and I couldn’t be more thrilled for you. I would like to send you two different beers to help you fulfill your New Years Resolution.

    First is Chili Beer from New Mexico. Each bottle has a friggin chili in it! It’s like a Corona but with a kick in teeth instead of a lime. Also, I would like to send you a sample of the inagural run of Hollywood Beach Brewing Company’s Red Tide Ale. Red Tide is an amber ale with a smooth texture and a balanced body. Each beer comes from opposite ends of the flavor spectrum and both are unique in style and profile; I think you will enjoy both.

    Just email me a contact point so I can mail them off to you. Good Luck!

    Comment by Kevin — January 8, 2007 @ 7:45 am

  23. The first comment! I better make it a good one. I saw your URL on digg. My comment is to help in your mission since I approve of your cause. I’m not sure where you live (looks like it might be Florida) but if you get a chance to come up to New England area there are many great Micro-brews that you would enjoy. I suggest for a bar with many different local beers on draught, “Horseshoe Pub” in Hudson, MA; and for a store “Corks” in Mansfield, MA has many of the local beers in bottle. Hope that helps your cause.

    Comment by Jared — January 8, 2007 @ 7:47 am

  24. Hats off to you, Dan. Good luck on your quest. I once, similarly, set off to find the best beer in Europe. It was a task to give a long wandering tour a little purpose. Like you, I find German beer always exceptionally high quality (I spent a subsequent year there), and I also enjoy a Grolsch whenever I can. The beer that I crowned the best, however, (and forgive me for any frustration this may cause) was a beer from Belguim, the name of which, I have sadly lost. All I remember was that it was a monk-brewed, auburn ale, and half-way through the first bottle it had distanced itself like Seattle Slew from every other competitor. I still think back to how much I enjoyed that beer. I don’t even know where it was from as a colleague had returned from Belguim with a few dozen bottles in plastic milk containers, while I was staying in Germany. I’ll be checking on your progress periodically, Dan. Find that beer! Monastary brewed! Meanwhile, crack one for me and let’s toast to the golden hops.

    Comment by Alec Steinwall — January 8, 2007 @ 7:52 am

  25. One beer you should stay on the lookout for but I’m not sure you’ll be able to find; Deuchars India Pale Ale, followed closely by their Caledonian Ale. If you’re up in Canada you’ll be in luck, if you’re stuck in the US then alas you won’t have access to it.

    Comment by Adam — January 8, 2007 @ 7:55 am

  26. I cannot sufficiently recommend Lezajsk - an award-winning Polish beer made in the town of the same name. This is my favourite beer of all time. It’s light coloured with a distinct flavour that becomes fully realized in the mouth and cheeks a second or two after drinking before all flavour magically disappears! It’s a real experience to drink!

    It’s relatively widely available so don’t miss it!

    Comment by Brian — January 8, 2007 @ 8:10 am

  27. Russian beer Baltika #9

    Comment by Perch — January 8, 2007 @ 8:13 am

  28. Might I suggest to beers frombreweries in my local area.
    Bluegrass Brewing Company
    Upland Brewing

    Both have multiple varieties. Should be good for a couple weeks toward your goal.

    Comment by Richard Nichols — January 8, 2007 @ 8:30 am

  29. Clever blog. I’ll bookmark this and use it as a reference as it becomes more robust. Goose Head has a good wheat ale, give it a try (get an orange slice when you try it). When you try Blue Moon, don’t get the Wisconsin crap, go to an Irish / Belgian pub and get the real import. 10x better.

    Comment by Justin — January 8, 2007 @ 8:32 am

  30. Two suggestions for ya.
    1) Setup a suggestion box for beer’s to try I’m sure you’ll get a LOT of suggestions, which might come in handy further along in the year.
    2) Paypal donation box. Put one up, ask for donations to review a beer and let a couple of the breweries know about this site. Hell you’ll probably get some good free stuff out of them. I recommend hitting up Stone brewery (California), and Young’s (mmmmm double chocolate stout)

    Best of luck to ya!

  31. …Dann drinks beer?…

    A man named Dann is on a noble quest to drink 365 different beers during 2007 in a kind of “beer renaissance”, or what some might call an unresolution.

  33. Wow, what a goal! Might I suggest doing an Oregon week or Colorado month - there’s so many good beers from those states …

  34. Don’t forget Castle Lager from South Africa!

    Comment by Chris Muller — January 8, 2007 @ 9:52 am

  35. I have an exciting beer to recommend. The basic version is called Tuborg (It is a danish beer.. so it is very good).. but around christmas time there is a version for Christmas. (It is in a blue can and has a snowy scene.. makes children want to drink it). I can recommend it highly for when your challenge is coming to an end. some time next december… enjoy!

    Comment by cosmo — January 8, 2007 @ 9:57 am

  36. I have a suggesting for later this year. Stone makes a beer once a year called Vertical Epic. The first one was released on 02.02.02, the next on 03.03.03, etc. This July 7, they’ll release their new one. 06.06.06 was my favorite one so far, so I’m looking forward to the new one.

  37. If you can find a good importer. or visit alaska try the Alaskan Amber from the Alaska Brewing Company. Delicious beer. one of my personal favorites. their website is www.alaskanbeer.com

    Comment by Alex — January 8, 2007 @ 11:02 am

  38. I think you should try Schlitz , Colt 45 , and Pabst Blue Ribbon they are great.

    Comment by tim — January 8, 2007 @ 11:07 am

  39. Try the New Holland Red Tulip Ale, available only at the New Holland Brewing Company in Holland, Michigan. It’s an American Amber/Red Ale, brewed partially with tulip plant.

    Comment by Zach — January 8, 2007 @ 11:14 am

  40. Anything by Abita (based out of Louisiana) is a winner. You can find Purple Haze, Turbo Dog, and Amber by Abita pretty much anywhere because they are distributed nationally. They also have several local-only brews that are damn fine. So if you ever go to Baton Rouge or New Orleans I highly recommend picking some up.

    Another regional brewery is Diamond Bear based in Little Rock, AR. They have at least four or five different varieties. I recommend the Southern Blonde and the Pale Ale.

    Comment by Matt — January 8, 2007 @ 11:14 am

  41. Awesome! If you want to get it all done in one swig, come up to DC and visit The Brickskellar which has nearly 1000 beers. No kidding, I go there all the time, the place is a wonderland.

  44. Great idea, just not sure how you tell the difference between all those cloned american gassy excuses for beer.
    Visit belgium for some beers with real flavour, or germany for lagers with flavour, or the UK if your taste will run to a huge variety of darker beers.
