Hello, my name is Mike Gowen.

Beer I’ve Drunk

I’ve been keeping a list of all the beer I have tried over the years for quite some time. I figured some of you might be interested in seeing it. I did not include beer I have at home that I have yet to drink, but I did include bottles that I am currently aging. I’m sure there are a ton of crappy beers missing from this list, but I’ll add them as they emerge from the blur that is my college years.

** FUTURE AND CURRENT EMPLOYER DISCLAIMER: I do not have a drinking problem. I typically taste 1 or 2 beers a week (which is a different problem…I collect them faster than I could ever drink them).

So without further ado, here’s the list:

Currently Aging

Deschutes Black Butte XXI

Dogfish Head Worldwide Stout
Stone Old Guardian
