Jolene American Porter: 6.5 – It’s a sort of darker porter, thankfully not leaning on the super coffee/cream/chocolate/smoked or other things porters often use as a crutch aspect. It’s fairly simple, but well executed – and that’s fine.
Price Average: $12 for 6-pack cans

If there’s one sad effect of running this site for years it’s the dispelling of the illusion of premium vodkas. Something that looks like this, with the name of some old dead guy, and the price tag to match – you’d think one day I’ll try that vodka and it’ll be amazing. We’re wiser though, and – not so much.
Edelstein Hefeweizen: 5.0 – Decided to try out another new and super local brewery to the site (sorry literally everyone not in the North East) You aren’t missing out on much though, because this beer is decidedly serviceable. It’s not outright bad, it’s easy enough to drink, and it has a bit of spice, but fails to impress.
Price Average: $14 Crowler

At this point, we’re fairly familiar with Bowmore. However we’ve sort of been going about it in reverse having started with the 17 year, and then near 6 years later (yikes), we did the 15 year. We’ve opted this time to go with the 12 year. We can therefore finally form a verdict on which Bowmore you should buy, and what (if anything) does time do?
Hofbrauhaus Dunkel: 4.0 – It’s a bit darker in both look and taste than you would typically expect for a dunkel. Beyond that though there’s not much else of note about this, and it’s overall just mediocre.
Price Average: $8 for 6-pack

Tesoro means someone kind or charming, which feels slightly odd for a volcanic guided tequila. Overall we have little complaints about El Tesoro as anything that can make a damn good margarita and not break the bank is a worthy tequila to have. The best part here though is that unlike many other tequilas from last year, this isn’t a sugary mess.
Shoals Pale Ale: 6.0 – It is a darker and nutty pale ale and has more of a lager feel. Not a complaint who doesnt love a tasty lager, but it ain’t what you would expect asking for a pale ale. Leave it to Smutty to make something nutty though.
Price Average: $9 for 6-Pack

Mama’s Little Yella Pils: 4.0 – We’re not sure if it’s the design, the name, or the piss color – but this looks like cheap garbage beer even more than the actual beers we know are trash. This is fairly cheap though, no real issues – just subpar and a bit too hopped.
Price Average: $10 for 6-Pack of Tall Cans
