Time once again for some more cognac with another VS from Martell. They have some typical pomp and circumstance (it’s always a snore when the words ‘great cognac houses’ enters the verbiage), but it’s thankfully backed up by something of substance.

Norway Brewing Co. Ghost in the Stairs Saison
Ghost in the Stairs: 6.75 – It’s a French saison its almost like a cleansing mint in there and it’s super refreshing because of it. THe other aspects of the saisonhold up as well.
Price Average: $12 for 4-pack

Nobushi Japanese Whisky 750mL
The most notable thing here on the surface is actually an omission – the word Suntory. Yes, it’s a Japanese whisky not from the monolithic giant that has buy-in over the states. The problem, however, is the notable omission that’s deeper than the surface – good tasting whiskey.
Earth Eagle Phoenix Brown Ale
Phoenix Brown Ale: 7.5 – That is a very strong brown ale and the power is intense. This is like a double brown ale in terms of taste and power. It’s really nice to drink though.
Price Average: $11 for 4-pack

Snow Leopard Vodka
What we have here is much like a snow leopard. Powerful and beautiful, but there are certainly some spots. (Get it?) Before we begin or get into the spirit itself we’ll let them lead by example and before the fold ask you to give to the Snow Leopard Trust to save an endangered species: https://www.snowleopard.org/
Norway Brewing Co./Bigelow Brewing – Hot & Steamy Lager
Hot & Steamy: 7.5 – It’s a sort of mix between a lager and cream ale with a good spice to it. Its also super easy to throw back and kill.
Price Average: $6 draft

Earth Eagle EXHiLARATiON Gruit
EXHiLARATiON Gruit: 5.0 – It’s very floral and the rosemary is heavy on the taste. The main issue is that having more than like half a pint of this is just too ‘out there’ for anyone besides a very narrow niche of people.
Price Average: $11 for 4-pack

Berkshire Mountain Greylock Gin 750mL
You could say this gin is a local affair for this Massachusettes based reviewer, but they’re so far west it might as well be Ohio. It’s nice though to see a smaller gin made in the states, but as you’ll see by their text there’s a bit of a quirk here in regards to exactly how this gin has been made.
