In my last post I talked about the Suds beer trip around the world and now I'm back to talk about my progress. As of this writing I am about 1/3rd of the way through my trip (16 out of 50). The majority of the beers are on tap with just a few bottled selections. I have yet to try any of the bottled beers yet and I haven't really ventured too far from beers that I know. But there are a couple that I wanted to mention:
1. Hop Lava from Double Mountain Brewery - As the name suggests this is a hoppy brew. It is
extremely crisp and was very refreshing (especially after an exam). This brewery has only been around for a short time, but if this is any indication of what they have to offer I think they'll be around for quite a while.2. The Dissident from Deschutes Brewing - As they say themselves on the website this is a sour, Flanders-style brown. I would suggest to anyone that they should try a pint of this beer once (because unless you have a full pint you haven't really tried a beer), but after that continue at your own risk. This beer is definitely made for someone with unique tastes. I made it through, but the beer really is sour and was a little bit distracting. After every drink that I took I had to stop and really think about what exactly I was tasting. A well made beer, but just not for me.
Stay tuned here and I will try and provide more details about any new exciting beers I come across. Given the time of year they have a lot of winter beers on tap, should be a refreshing season.

Your progress is much more commendable than mine on the "Around the world" trek we have embarked on!
As it stands I am only at 8/50, a mere 16% on the trail to beer greatness! :P
