Oops, realized my post sounds like I'm there. Should have read "Looks like their having a good time down at RB!"..

Not sure if anybody is still around or not.

If someone was to go to the RB this Saturday and wanted to take a tour of the taps, which order would be best?

If you don't know which style of beer you may like most you should start on the sampler of all the beers :cheers2:

so a sampler, and then do each one?

I always thought a tour of the taps was trying one from each tap, which is my plan :headbang:

If you're going to be in HFX Saturday, the Rye tasting is the place to be. :headbang:

Gotcha :cheers2: Definitely a good way to fly, generally speaking you should go from lighter tasting to heavier. That said I have a few heavy hitters but get on the Wheat first, then brown, then schwarzbier then the choice is up to you on the remaining 3, Stout, IPA and RIS.

Black IPA in the firkin Saturday :cheers2:

Brewnoser BPA on tap next week :cheers2:
