Nothing causes our site to shudder more than a gin from someplace that has over 200+ years of history. As is most often the case, said gin feels like it was made in the same way, and while there are those who find that preferable – we find it usually translates to a gin that is better served in a molotov cocktail over a regular one.
Good Helmet: 8.5 – A Schwarzbier made with sorachi ace hops (?). It’s lighter in color than most Schwarzbier, also a bit mellower in upfront flavor, but it’s got a long finish that is delicious, We could drink these all god damn day, but then again who doesn’t love a schwarzbier?

Stackz On Stackz On Stackz: 7.6 – It’s an imperial blonde ale aged on blueberries and maple syrup. Extremely sweet, so you really would only be able to drink 12oz before becoming sick of it. Like most Barreled Souls beers it’s unique, and it tastes like a blueberry biscuit.

This rum sucks ass. We want to be as clear and upfront about this as possible. We want the damn Google search results to include this first bit of text about how much ass this rum sucks. Do not buy this unless you want a headache, or because you’re a Royal Navy sailor and England is forcing this upon you and calling it a ration.
Horse Tongue: 7.0 – That tart bit of sour and the wheat combine in a way that makes this feel sort of like a red ale. It’s nice and crisp, and that sour is bringing a bit of fruit, but the barrel aging brings it all down to stop it from being overpowering. It’s actually really good.
Price Average: $14 for 22oz

Given as a Christmas gift, it’s always enjoyable to try out a new single malt that you’ve simply never had before. What we get is something that clearly has some faults, but brings such a nice warm and well-spiced flavor that placed in a glass neat makes this a damn fine gift.
Hop Sounds Dry-Hopped Kolsch: 7.5 – There’s a very unique sort of sweetness going on there that comes back in the long aftertaste. The fruit here is very nice, and it’s a very nice kolsch that does a lot of very nice things.
Price Average: $12 for 6-pack

Maybe it’s seasonal depression given this review is happening mid-Jan, but this vodka just evokes a mindset that makes you sort of want to hate it. It’s got this naming and imagery that seems more at place on a rum, and yet we can’t deny – it’s actually an all around above average vodka.
