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.
Price Average: $20 for mixed 12-pack

Life’s a Beach: 6.0 – Sort of hoppy for a saison but the beach style makes this a clear winner in a battle against a summer Corona.
Price Average: $6 draft

Seaquench: 5.0 – For a Dogfish Head sour you expect this to be truly out of the box, but aside from the sea salt and lime that makes you think more of a Corona served in a marg glass this is just average
Price Average: $11 for 6-pack

Alright campers, time to end our Summer Vacation beer specials with a trip to beer camp. In previous years Beer Camp was an interesting idea where a bunch of breweries collaborated to make a 12 pack of unique beers. This time the field has expanded to include 30+ breweries but for only 6 beers! A fact that may actually come back to haunt this sampler like the ghost stories of our youth.
7-Hills Session Ale: 6.0 – It’s a good flavor, but it’s not a great farmhouse beer.
Google Shop Average: 7-Hills Session Ale $7
