Purpose
We seek truth, wisdom, and a good head buzz.
Beer Selection Methodology
There's a liquor store near Mr. Seafoam's house that has 510 bottled beers. We randomly picked 40 macro-brew lagers and put the names into a hat, then picked the 16 beers listed above.
Beer Drinking Methodology
The Beer Official pours the beers into marked, opaque plastic glasses, and records who got what beer in which glass. Once all the judges have decided on their favorite, a vote is taken. Between tasting rounds, the judges' palettes are cleansed with raspberry sherbet.
