Brooklyn Summer: 2.5 – It may be the dead of winter but that’s just not a good summer ale. Not sure where the concept of it being sunny is, but there’s just some critical aspects that make this less a nice bright citrusy pale ale and more something that tastes vaguely like what a wet sock would taste like.

Brooklyn Lager: 5.0 – We’ve lamented of late that there’s so many ales going on and not enough lagers. (or scotch ale, or schwarzbier, but anyway) That’s what sort of makes this disappointing because while we’ve listed as a 5 (aka average) it’s only average because of shittier beers, of which this sort of is. It’s a tad too hoppy, but is otherwise just a subpar lager.

The Stonewall Inn: 5.0 – The mixed pack came with an IPA and given it’s heritage via name it felt cruel to not even give it a review. As far as IPAs go it’s mercifully not super bitter at all. Oh sure you know it’s an IPA and not just a pale, but it could have been much worse – it’s simply too mild and needs a kick of something. Do as we do and add a bit of lemonade and it’s a peach.

Bel-Air Sour: 2.0 – It’s like a halfway between a beer and a sour but spectacularly failing at both. It’s honestly like a warhead that someone’s washed off all the sour – with like their mouth.

Wow, we made it a whole year. With ~58 Regular Reviews and ~6 Specials (Yeah you do that math it’s 52+ weeks suck it consistency) we’ve come quite a long way. Our tastes have changed, we’ve become as brutal as the job demands, and best of all? We’ve found a bunch of spirits and booze that just make life worth living.
It was midnight in the big city when I decided I needed a drink. The shoe that is life started to press down upon me and I was but a mere cockroach of a human. The world was a cruel mistress and I was but a sweaty politician that had lost everything and now she was turning her back on me. I knew that the only relief for me would be sitting at the bottom of a glass somewhere out in this wretched world and so I set out to find my salvation.
