So, it’s early March. Bad time for beer writing. Between seasons and no holidays upcoming. Well, I guess St. Patrick’s Day is a holiday. But, beer wise, SPD can be summed up with one word - Guinness!
I guess I can talk about a comment that about 10 -20% of my followers had after last blog. (Keep in mind that 10 - 20% totals 1)
Who determines what the best ever beer is? Good question!
Well who determines who the best baseball player ever is? People with opinions! In the baseball case, the age of the opining person is a variable. So is his favorite team. And, what determines the best player? Offensive skills? Defensive skills? Home runs? Batting average? Talk about subjective!
With beer, it’s simple - an individual’s taste buds is the only variable.
So, my answer would be that when thousands and thousands of beer drinkers, beer writers, etc. all with different taste buds, say that Westvleteren 12 is the best beer ever, it’s probably pretty close! It certainly is in my book. That’s IPA lovers, stout lovers, gose lovers, etc. agreeing on somthing! Best by a wide margin? Not necessarily. But the best! But then, I’ve only had a about 3600 different beers. What do I know.
Cheers!
