  • Bluebird Bitter: This is definitely a bitter and hoppy beer with a faint hint of scented geranium, ha. It's sort of a lighter/crappier Boddington's. Rating: 4
  • Anheuser World Select: Not really sure what the thought behind this beer was, but it's actually not that bad, being a lager. I think it's probably about middle ground for me. Rating: 5.5
  • Amstel Light: Ack, I'm glad I had a stuffed up nose for this beer... otherwise it might have gotten a 2. Rating: 4
  • Killian's Irish Red: I love red beers. Especially this classic bottle of Killian's. Rating: 8.5
  • Harp Lager: Why is this not more popular than Guinness? This Canadian company is marketing the wrong product - great dark beer. Rating: 8
  • Goose Island Honkers Ale: I can't decide which I like better between this and Hex Nut. This beer was so good that I had to call Minnis to let him know. Rating: 7
  • Boulevard Bully Porter: A good, smooth, dark beer. Check out my dope haircut. Rating: 7
  • Goose Island Hex Nut Brown Ale: I like brown ale and hex nuts. Rating: 7

  • Dos Equis Special Lager: I was really excited because of the word "lager" ... but then I was less excited because of the "taste." Rating: 6
  • Guinness: I'm not a big fan right now, but I think that this beer will grow on me. Rating: 6
  • Red Hook Blonde: This took me by surprise. A yellow beer that tastes dark, and oh man, I liked it. Rating: 8
  • 34oz Gluek's Beers
  • Chimay
  • Warsteiner Premium Verum: Warsteiner is German for "Worsenhoffen" which is Russian for "bloody skunky" in Euro-English and "should be in a green boattle" in Canadian which translates to "not good" in English.  Rating: 4
  • Hobgoblin: A good, good Dark English Ale.  Comes in a pint bottle, brewed in wychwood.  Rating: 8

  • Avalanche Amber Style Ale: Breckenridge brewery.  Good.  Can't explain it.  Sort of a "light, dark beer"  Rating: 7.5
  • Samuel Smith's Nut Brown Ale: Reminds me of newcastle.  Good.  Rating: 7
  • Goose Island Christmas Ale: Good Gogo Boots.  Sort of bland right after having the Nut Cracker Ale, but once I could taste the beer, I really liked it.  Rating: 7.5

  • Boulevard Nut Cracker: Reminded me of the Rock Bottom Pumpkin Ale.  Rating: 7.5

  • Budweiser Select - A brand new beer from Budweiser - out today.  3.1 carbs, "new bold tasted that finishes clean"  A pretty good light beer.  Rating: 5.5
  • Pete's Wicked Wanderlust Cream Ale: Sorta wheat, rich, creamy, malt beer.  So good.  I think it's a fall seasonal beer.  Rating: 7.5
  • Red Hook Winterhook: The first new beer since I finished the Journey.  I believe this is a seasonal.  It sort of tastes like an Oktoberfest or something with a little spice.  I liked it.  Rating: 7
  • Tsing Tao: A Japanese beer.  Decent for a green bottle, but still a green bottle.  Rating: 6

  • St Pauli Girl Bier: Skunky and not that good.  I hate green bottles.  Rating: 4

  • Red Dog: Batman and Catwoman love it. I hate it. Rating: 2
  • Samuel Adams Light: Probably the best light that I've had. It actually has a taste to it... Rating: 6
