Redbridge: 2.0 – This is what Anheuser-Busch thinks a hipster beer should be which is funny since it’s not an IPA. It however does not taste like beer, and if this whole Gluten-Free Sorghum nonsense is supposed to make me think – oh this is healthy for me and is a good alternative to beer – you know what’s a better alternative? Drinking your own piss.

Worker’s Comp Saison: 3.5 – Just not a great saison. Weak in terms of a good flavor or power, and it’s overall just very bland. I’d be ashamed more of my home state of Connecticut, but well – there’s a reason I don’t live there.

It’s Wednesday which means it’s time for another bear review – this time a little more in-depth than previous weeks. Today’s bear is the Kodiak – a truly majestic creature. Not to be confused with the more common brown bear – Kodiak bears are the second largest bear species (second only to polar bears) and only like on the Kodiak Archipelago islands off of Alaska.
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.

Avery The Czar: 7.0 – Really good, and there’s a lot of power behind it (apparently also in AbV) Good amount of chocolate flavor as well.

La Merle Saison: 6.5 – Apparently this is named after a bird according to hipster bar person. Some citrus and fruity flavoring, and an overall tasty saison.

Stone Arrogant Bastard Ale: 4.5 – So everyone (mostly west-coast) practically jizzes about Stone, and I’m not having it. Add that to a beer saying that I won’t like it because it’s strong and I prefer my Miller and Bud Lites and this beer can go fuck itself. Actually reading the text on the back and I’ll give them that their beer isn’t an arrogant bastard, but they sure are. At the end of the day though I’m here to review beer and this is simply nothing special, and the taste is just an unhoppy balance.

Weihenstephaner Korbinian: 7.0 – This isn’t very beer-y but it’s still quite delicious and is therefore a good drink in my book.
