Were they mostly Imports? What kind of domestics were available back then? @Jeff – Back then, that place must have been a gold mine! Were they mostly Imports?

Simple systems are best! 200 beers in the early 70's? I didn't think thay had all that many way back then! ;-) @Jeff – making it too complicated takes some of the fun out of it I think.

It actually makes a lot of sense. My system has changed over time, becoming more objective to standards.

I guess I've just gone with the 'heart'. But this got me thinking and so I went away and actually generated my <a href="http://www.bieradventures.com/?p=664" rel="nofollow">own list</a>. Turns out I'm much less scientific about as you Bob, nonetheless it was just good to see where I'm coming from and to share it with others. It's really interesting to see how everyone else has defined their categories as well. It is also great to see such variation in the ways we all drink and consider our beers. Hey guys,

It’s really interesting to see how everyone else has defined their categories as well. It is also great to see such variation in the ways we all drink and consider our beers.

The only way for you to find out if you like a beer is to try it for yourself. We are only telling you whether or not we would drink the beer again." I think that's it in a nutshell! @Jim - is there any such thing as an unscary clown?
