Boston Brick Red: 5.0 – Just a little too average of a beer. Kind of sad really since you know Sam can sometimes make really good beers.

Maine Beer Company Red Wheelbarrow
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.

Bear Republic Red Rocket Ale
Bear Republic Red Rocket Ale: 5.0 – Based on how much I really enjoyed their Big Bear Black Stout, I was hoping for another winner here, and while it’s certainly not a loser – it’s mostly just an average red ale. Which is sad.

Ommegang Fire and Blood
Ommegang Fire and Blood: 6.5 – Finally a Game of Thrones beer that actually has substance. The chili and spice her really give this beer a unique taste, but it doesn’t make it too powerful like say a Dogfish Head beer might. You still get a nice beer with your spice, and while it pains me as a fan to prefer the Targaryen beer – I do.
Editor’s Note – Stock image as I tasted this while at Boston’s Tavern at The End of the World
