The Beers!!

Full Sail Session Lager 6 pack $9.99
This is the Session that started it all, with that retro-cool red label and rock-paper-scissors under the caps. The original Session is a classic, all-malt lager that’s crisp, smooth, and refreshing. Winner of multiple gold medals at the top national and international competitions, Session Premium Lager is a beer that truly crosses boundaries, from blue collar to white, red state to blue, cocktail bar to bar-be-que.

Session Premium lager is an extremely tasty import-style lager, like the kind of beer made back in the pre-Prohibition days— plenty of flavor that goes down clean and smooth, we like to call it ridiculously tasty. American and European hops offer a wonderful noble hop aroma, and the two-row barley malt and a touch of wheat malt give a pleasant, refreshing finish. Why have a beer when you could have a Session! 


Maine Beer Co. "Thank You", American Wheat Ale 12 oz $9.99


BeerAdvocate 4.1
This was poured into an English pub glass. The appearance was a glossy burnt yellow color with a thin white foamy head that dissipated at a nice pace. Thin lacing returns to the edge of the glass. The smell starts off with some light wheat/grassiness/somewhat like hay. Then some light sweet melon returns within and slides in and around a light spice somewhat like black pepper. Fresh return of that "water-nutrient" enriched citrusy tones. The flavor takes all of the previously mentioned flavors and brings it all together with a sweet hop oily residue sliding over my taste buds. Nicely restrained sweet wheaty/melon/berry/citrus aftertaste with a quick sweet finish. On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a nice sly oily sesssionable feel to it. I’m thinking MBC used their house yeast to assist in allowing the wheat to be fairly tame in this one. Overall, definitely a wonderful APWA made by a stellar company.
I would love to have this again.




Founders "Double Trouble" IPA 4 pack, $14.99

An imperial IPA that was brewed to turn your world upside down. Hops will get you coming and going. Pungent aromatics up front pair with a malt-balanced backbone and a smooth, bitter finish.
