Who gives a shit what is in the top 50 and what isnt or why? There are maybe 20 people on the entire site that go out of their way to sample every beer in the top 50. The other 99.9% of us drink what we like.

Back to my original question, I ask because there is a similar situation with a brewer local to me. It is not to be a nudge.

Jesus...., you should know how many former top 50 beers the Copenhagen crew has thrown out. Don’t forget most of the top 20 raters are european and most of them danish ;-)

Dirty Horse has been rated by at least a couple of Americans.



This just in:

This discussion is stupid. Unless someone tells me I can rate Great Divide Baumer so I can have the tick.

I don’t really care, just pointing it out. The Top 50 is the least of my worries, it is just interesting to watch people begin clamoring over a beer like this, again.

but a small brewery in s.d. doesn’t.even when growlers were sold.
i guess i just think fair should be fair.either bring the shit back or take out the two struises in mention.(and any other beer that falls in this category)
its pretty simple really.

It seems to me that the issue with the Shit is different than what we’re talking about here. I thought that beer was nuked because it’s not a new beer. Or am I wrong?

I.e. using different coffee beans doesn’t make the beer different, whether they are Folgers or have been shat out of the asses of Moroccan kings and rolled in gold leaf, it’s still Speedway Stout.

They sold growlers of The Shit? If they did, I’m jealous of those lucky enough to have gotten one.

I still can’t be on your side for using Dirty Horse as a comparison to The Shit because (as far as I can tell) a big part of The Shit being eliminated is due to the fact that the difference between it and regular Speedway was the coffee used. It would be like making another listing for Dirty Horse if they switched from (XYZ) cherries to Schaerbeekse cherries for a batch.

ah see i thought it was because of commercial availability.if it was the coffee issue,then i can understand.
now back to the brews at hand.do these two fall under "commercially available or not?
