The start

The first beer that I had was a Mikes Hard Lemonade... if that even counts as beer. Then one fateful night not too much further in the future I found that I REALLY like Yuengling but that's another story for another time. I am now starting to grow a taste for a variety of different beers thanks in large part to Brian's influence and his never ending quench for something new. Well this past week I have challenged my self with a list of things I would like to do before I'm 30 and #2 on the list is to try 50 different types of beers. My first thought was just starting fresh and not counting a few selected beers (mainly light beers) but as I started typing the list of beers that I have already tried I realized that I wasn't really satisfying the adventure behind my "Beer Project". So what I have decided to do is count the ones I've already had, give my take on each (probably needing to try a couple again), and make my goal to have 100 different beers on this list before I'm 30. So that gives me just over 50 new beers that I will have to track down over the next year and a half.
