Murphy’s Irish Stout: 4.5 – That is a slightly subpar, but otherwise generic as fuck stout. It’s like a less good Guinness in terms of taste/texture, but otherwise meh.

Ommegang Game of Thrones Seven Kingdoms Hoppy Wheat Ale
Seven Kingdoms Hoppy Wheat Ale: 4.5 – I was hoping for another Fire and Blood, but this is once again a perfect example of an inoffensive hoppy wheat ale. It doesn’t have much going for it, and even fans of hoppy beers would likely pass it by as something easy to drink, but tasteless outside it’s basic taste.
Price Average: Seven Kingdoms Hoppy Wheat Ale $9

Landy Cognac VS 750mL
Yes fret not we have not forgotten our claim to actually get onto some cognac reviews, and because of a certain aspect of this we can assure you that soon the decanter of cognac in the Buffalo lounge will soon be depleted and require another victim spirit. (No word on the other 21 decanters, because yes the Buffalo does have a problem)
Rolling Rock Extra Pale
Rolling Rock Extra Pale: 2.0 – Not as tasteless as Heineken, but I think I’m beginning to see a picture – people drink these well known beers at bars because they wish to be drunk and taste nothing.

Brewmaster Jack Total Eclipse Rye Porter
Total Eclipse: 6.5 – I’m not a huge fan of what most companies do with Rye flavored beers, but I really like how well balanced the taste and flavors are here. My main complaint is that while not being heavy this doesn’t endear itself to wanting to drink more of it (low drinkability I guess)
Price Average: Name $10 for 4-Pack

Clontarf 1014 Irish Whiskey 750mL
With Cinco de Mayo this week it’s time once again for the Honest Booze Reviews tradition of mixing up the holiday with St Patrick’s day so we begin with this, which was sadly the only whiskey I could find from Ireland that wasn’t Jameson or Bushmills at my local store. (Thankfully I do go to other stores)
Beck’s Bier
Beck’s: 4.5 – That is a slightly okay beer. Nothing to write home about, but it does the job.
Price $2

Ommegang Grains of Truth Harvest Ale
Grains of Truth: 7.0 – This is another successful beer from Ommegang with a flavorful harvest ale that has close to the perfect amount of hops you want in a beer like this.
Price Average: Grains of Truth $10 for 4-Pack
