Catching on our ratings...
We have not been keeping up with our beer reviews. Therefore, I have an entire list of stuff to discuse.
WEIHENSTEPHANER
- Korbinian (Double Bok): Nutty and great. Joe refers to this one as "pope beer" due to the picture of a pope on the bottle.
- Kristal Weissbier: Good, but not great. Clean taste.
HEAVY SEAS
- Red Sky at Night (Saison): Pretty good. Very sweet.
- Peg Leg (Imperial Stout): Not crazy about this one.
LAGUNITAS
- Gnarly Wine: We liked this one. Darker and not as strong as the usual barley wines.
- Maximus (IPA): Very hoptastic. A little sweet. Joe is a big fan.
- Brown Shugga (Brown Ale/Barley Wine): Strong. It will knock you on your ass! And we mean that in a good way. Also, it's cheap. We rate this Best Bang for Your Buck.
FLYING DOG
- Kerberos Triple: Great!
DOG FISH
- Burton Baton: Amazingly I liked this one, and its an IPA! Very oaky flavor.
- Immurt Ale: "Holy carp, good! The best" - Joe.
- Aprihop: Pretty good. I don't think it's as good as Pyramid Apricot however. It has some bitterness to it.
VICTORY
- Storm King (Stout): It's been a while since we tried this, but we both remember liking it.
SAM ADAMS
- Irish Red: Ehhh...ok.
MAGIC HAT
- #9: Ok, but it's over-rated.
WEYERBACHER
- Merry Monk: Refreshing. Thats all we remember about it.
