Now see I saw this and thought, hmm likely no relation to the awful Seagram’s Gin we’d done, but no I was wrong, and honestly that makes a lot of sense. Because if you make shitty booze long enough, I suppose aging some of it for a whiskey is certainly do-able.
Berkshire Brewing Company Maibock Lager: 7.0 – I’ve continued to enjoy BBC’s offerings, at worst their beers are standard, and often than not we get something like this. Now I enjoy Maibocks, and I often wonder why more companies don’t do more beers like it and schwarzbiers – either way this is great Maibock, and you can’t beat the price with a stick.

Shiner Bohemian Black Lager: 5.0 – While I love Black Lager’s in general, this lacks any sort of power which is why I love Black Lagers, as such it’s another passable beer from Shiner.

So this week as a change of pace let’s review another whiskey. No wait – it’s an Irish Whiskey, which therefore makes it more unique that our scotch-reviews-every-week trend of late.
Maine Beer Company Red Wheelbarrow: 4.0 – Now we typically have liked Maine Beer Company’s beers (even went for a tour once), but this promised to give me a Red Ale, but the MBC’s hop-forward taste, and it’s awful. I honestly could not finish it, and that’s truly sad, not so much for them, but for me.

DuClaw Sawtooth Belgian White Ale: 2.5 – Imagine Allagash White as this bright vibrant painting of a New Hampshire forest – now imagine these people tried to paint said forest, but only had a paint roller, beige paint, and a lack of an imagination.
