I have yet to drink a beer and have the near orgasmic experience many describe. Maybe my taste is not up to everyone else, but even these top beers are just really good beer to me. I think cult status is fed by overly dramatic reviewers and chasing the next white whale. There is plenty of great beer that is easy to get but it does not receive the hype of the small producers limited stuff. Its like hipsters and music or hipsters and anything really. I would bet that if everyone could get the top five beers starting next month, they would no longer be in the top 5 within 3 months. Just like some cigars in the past, so you know exactly what I mean.
Ive had a few of them probably. Hell I have pliny at the house now, but I get it for the wife. She really likes it, I just think its good beer. I am not much of a chaser however, and I tend to drink fresh local stuff. A well made local and fresh IPA will be better than far traveled and beaten in shipment Pliny. Plus when the beers get that highly regarded, and low in supply, they get way too rich for my blood when it only takes 3 weeks to make. Just a personal thing for me.
