For instance, I could say that Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Marzen is one, and also available locally. But in keeping with the spirit of a bucket list, shouldn't it be this: Drink Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Marzen as accompaniment to Schweinehaxe, in Bamberg, at the historic Schlenkerla tavern?

I see both your and Rogers points, but it would take more than a lifetime and a ton of money to have the experiences you both speak of. People have "experiences" through a beer and food. I can't afford to travel to Belgium, but I can buy some Belgian beer and cheese and pretend a little. I'm sure Roger's beer experiences list would be a great read, but not possible for most folks.
