90. There's more to beer than fizzy yellow stuff.

From stouts to saisons, porters to pilsners, and everything in between, there are many different styles to try.

Ever hear of a gueuze? A dunkel? A rauchbier?

Ever have a beer brewed with:

oysters
bacon
pumpkin
raspberries
blueberries
loganberries
honey
cherries
parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
vanilla
coffee
jalapenos, haberneros, chipotles, serranos
walnuts
ginger
hibiscus
chocolate
green tea
lemon verbena
pink peppercorns

Ever have a beer aged on oak or cedar?

Ever have a beer with cascade hops? mosaic hops? citra hops? amarillo hops?

Ever have a beer from Sri Lanka? Vietnam? India? Turkey?

I love to explore new styles and check out seasonal releases from my favorite breweries.

BeerAdvocate gives it a 76 out of 100. OnyxCollie Mar 2015 #36

Bohemia also. It's a Czech-style lager, hence the name. n/t nomorenomore08 Mar 2015 #15
