A few items of note for loyal followers of the Beer Roster.
- Since the database issue, I’ve noticed a few beers had seemed to be missing. I have gone through all the posts starting from when the Beer Roster began (March 30, 2006) and found all the orphan ones. They are now back where they should be.
- I’ve added a number to the end of the title for each beer. There was some question as to exactly how many reviews I had done, so it was the easiest way to figure that out. I’m actually a bit further along than I thought with the present count at 94.
- For the purpose of looking for beers by rating, I’ve added a tag to all the beers to help with that. If you want to find all the beers that were rated 9 bottlecaps, simply type in “9-bottlecaps” into the search box and you should get them. Remember to put the hyphen between the number and bottlecaps for it to work correctly.
That’s all for now, I should be posting the beer review for this week either tomorrow or Sunday. Its Shipyard Export Ale, which was pretty damn good stuff.

Is there such a thing as a 10 out of 10 bottlecaps beer?
You mean objectively, like “This is the greatest beer ever made” or in my opinion?
if you mean in my opinion, then yes, there are currently 7 of them
Oak Aged Yeti Imperial Stout
Guinness
SkullSplitter
Morlands Hen’s Tooth
Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Marzen
Ruddles County
Arrogant Bastard
Just put in “10-bottlecaps” in the search box to get the reviews. Don’t forget the hyphen.
I have tried:
Oak Aged Imperial Stout
Guinness
Skullsplitter
Arrogant Bastard
I can say, through this sampling, that Yeti and I have vastly differnt ideas of what a great beer is. While Guinness is certainly a 10 out of 10 for me, the others make me want to heap spoonfuls of yak piss into my mouth to wash out the hops.
And I like Leigenkugel, whereas the Yeti’s burnt-out palate thinks it’s shite.
That’s really funny, seeing as how none of those have a really huge hops taste to them.
Dude, the Yeti Imperial Stout was like CHEWING hops.
Dude, there are far, far worse beers for hops taste than Oak Aged Yeti
Yeah, and I won’t be drinking any of them. It tasted like fucking resin.
It was like drinking a tree’s pee. And I mean, I finished mine, at least. Kornfeld couldn’t even get it down. Seriously, it was like blowing a fucking pine tree.
Dude, the IBU rating for it is only 75. While that is not the only factor in the taste, 75 is not anything crazy. I seriously don’t understand people who think anything below an IBU of 90-100 is overly strong.
Just stick the lighter body beers and you’ll be fine
Let me go get you a nice amber or a golden ale.
