So I have stopped drinking corporate beers, made in soul-less factories, without any flavor, taste, or meaning. I've recently enjoyed the Rogue Shakespeare Oatmeal Stout (which my son said to me was the BEST beer he's ever tasted), The Mission Street Brown Ale, Boatswain Chocolate Stout, and the Epic Brewing Smoked Porter. The Rogue, upon first taste, was not pleasant, BUT, the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th tastes were delicious, and it had a smooth finish. Very smooth. The Mission Street Brown Ale was good. The Boast swain Chocolate Stout was flavorful, delicious, and highly recommended. The smoked porter was a little bit too hoppy for me. but not a bad beer. Mission Street and Boatswain are available at Trader Joes. The other two were Total Wine purchases.
I photographed all 4 of these on the top of my drum set hard cases, which rest in my office, right next to my set up 5 piece Ludwig drum set =) ....I thought this was very appropriate.
I highly recommend that you try these beers. They're delicious. They're made by real people who love beer and beer making. Yes, they are 2X to 4X more expensive than the swill that Inbev, Miller-Coors, and others crank out, but they are worth the price. Enjoy.
