So a co-worker is having a holiday party...
I work in a department of wine connoisseurs. Most are relatively wealthy and one is hosting a holiday party at her house in early Dec.
I want to introduce them to good beer - I don't know of any that really know what good beer is. I figure I could bring by a sample of the best I can readily find of each beer style to hopefully give people a taste of what they're missing!
Of course, this could be a mistake - perhaps a top rated beer in a specific style is not necessarily the best introduction to the style. Thoughts on that?
Right now I'm thinking I can pick up:
Imperial Stout - The Abyss
DIPA - PtE
IPA - Sculpin
Quad - Rochefort 10
Tripel - La Fin Du Monde
Strong Belgian Pale - Don de Dieu
Hefe - Weihenstephaner
Doppelbock - Ayinger Celebrator
Sours - Supplication, Duchesse
Saison/Farmhouse - (undecided)
Lambic - Lindemans Framboise
Thoughts? Anything you would do differently? Styles not to include or to add to this list?
Thanks!
