Morland ‘Old Crafty Hen’ Vintage Ale
Old Crafty Hen: 5.5 – It’s certainly a basic beer, but it’s a good solid basic beer, and that’s not something to scoff or peck at. (Tried REAL hard to not make a chicken joke, but sorry). It has that classic british style of beer though, and is quite delicious.
Price Average: $6

Wormtown Red
Wormtown Red: 3.0 – It’s watery and weak and I hate it. I was really hoping for a good red ale that’s local, but nope.
Price Average: $6 draft

Auchentoshan Heartwood Single Malt Scotch Whisky 1L
Once again the duty-free shops of the world’s airports have made the choice of getting another Auchentoshan breed an inevitability. This time instead of Blood Oak we get another blood-related wood thing – Heartwood. It genuinely does live up to that name of being a warm and woody drink, but it’s sadly not that simple.
Spitfire Premium Kentish Ale
Spitfire: 4.0 – Very much a substandard british style amber. Not much else to say
Price Average: $3

Exhibit A Brewing Goody Two Shoes Kolsch
Goody Two Shoes: 6.0 – It’s a nice kolsch but there’s a sort of metallic taste to it that sort of ruins it. It’s a draft though so take this at face value.
Price Average: $6 Draft

Whitley Neill Small Batch Handcrafted Dry Gin 750mL
This as far as we can reasonably tell is the first spirit we have from the African continent. This excludes wine of course, and technically this is made in the UK, but at least it’s technically correct. The botanicals here really do produce a gin that is very unique.
Siren Yu Lu Wheat Ale
Siren Yu Lu: 4.0 – that is so over hopped it nearly came back, there is no reason for it. That might as well be an ipa
Price Average: $12
