Beer
While I hate the interface Forbes.com uses, especially those for "slideshows" of things, it does have an interesting collection on there today about the "Coolest Beers" (found via an article on wired.com).
I'd switch out a few for sure...
The Chimay Blanche, while a great beer, is not my favorite Chimay. The Grande Reserve. Although I'm happy to see any Chimay in that list.
I'd have included the Leffe Blonde/Brown either would work. Depending upon if you want a lighter style beer or not. I might have subbed this for the Rare VOS, although that's an excellent beer as well.
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale should be nixed. I admit to not being a fan of the pale ale, or the bitter beer fascination many beer drinkers have. That has a large part of my dislike to Sierra Nevada. But I find after about 1/2 a bottle SNPA I'm ready to stop drinking, and thats a bad change.
The Censored Rich Copper Ale from Laguintas Brewing could probably be removed too. I've tried many of their beers, and while I think this is their best, as far as an American beer to compliment this list, I could think of a few better. I'd look over at Victory Brewing or Flying Fish.
Liberty Ale, while tasty, could be ranked with the Yuengling Lager. Call it hometown pride, but I find both of these breweries to be releasing beers so similar in flavor, it's not funny.
