Thanks for your list! I'll cross reference that with minesqueaky wrote:This might help you a little. This is my cheat sheet for session 1. A * in front of the beer means they're cutting the cask off to save for later sessions, so I should try it early. A * after just means I really want to try it. The numbers after the beer are ABV (BA/RB)
I basically pulled out the highly rated UK things as things to try, but there were quite a few of them that weren't even in RB or BA yet, so it's very possible I'm missing things. I plan on encouraging my friends to try all the UK stuff so I know if I missed anything good.

Yep. If you made your list from when it was initially released you'll need to update it. The last update from earlier this week completely changed the numbers around and swapped around some beers available during some sessions. I had to completely redo my spreadsheet.squeaky wrote:Bah, did they change the numbers? Man that's annoying.
Do you think its best to go for the all-session beers first?lister wrote:I have an ugly suspicion on how things are going to unfurl with the all sessions beers. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh. I just hope they're in an area that can deal with the initial onslaught of volume.
If memory serves, each session gets less than a cask of the all-session beers, but a full cask of the ones that only go to an individual session. There are about 5 beers I simply must have, but after that I'm targetting the all-session stuff first, then going for the rest.ercousin wrote:Do you think its best to go for the all-session beers first?lister wrote:I have an ugly suspicion on how things are going to unfurl with the all sessions beers.

I really want to try Black Betty, Hopspur, and Liquid Mistress...
