Left Hand Stranger Pale Ale


I like the label.  Not a bad pale ale.  Not a favorite style of ours, but the beer itself wasn't actually bad.

Left Hand Black Jack Porter


This is an English porter. Not my favorite in style or in general. I'd prefer their milk stout any day.

Lagunitas Brown Shugga


Woohoo. Brown Shugga. We got the last pack at the store nearby and it's so delicious. It definitely packs a punch and presents interesting notes. Definitely one to grab when you see it!

Bells Expedition Stout


We picked this one up while traveling across the country.  Definitely a great buy.  It knocked my socks off, and I drink a lot of imperial stouts.  It was delicious and amazing.  I will definitely buy this one again.

Wolaver's Organic Pumpkin Ale


This beer shouldn't be confused with the Wolaver's Pumpkin by Otter Creek.  Totally different brewery.  The beer smelled really good, but just tasted ok.  Not my favorite pumpkin beer, but not totally awful to drink.

This one isn't on Rate Beer so you're on your own.

Elysian Dark O The Moon Pumpkin Stout


This is a drink once a year kind of beer. It's a dark stout so the pumpkin competes for the flavor.. It has some nice spice to it. Definitely one to try.I was thrilled to find it in NY since not a lot of pumpkin beers here are dark.

Peroni Nastro Azzurro


While in Italy, I decided to try some biers.  I was staying at a hotel in Torino and they had limited options on their menu.  I picked this one since it was at the top of the list.  It was very light and decent for a lager.  Not as bitter or gross tasting as a lot of American lagers.  I don't think I'd ever really drink it again, but it was ok for what it was.
