Lagunitas Pale Ale

A solid pale ale that pushes the IPA line. Almost as good as their IPA.

Kane Overhead Imperial IPA

Have to give some love to my favorite brewery. Love this imperial IPA

Long Trail Double IPA

Always a solid Double IPA. One of my favorites.

Beach Haus Kick Back Ale

Solid ale for summer. Easy to drink but also flavorful.

Wolaver's Oatmeal Stout

First winner of the day. A delicious stout.

Garden State Beer Expo

A beautiful day for a beer expo in Holmdel, NJ. Really looking forward to the event as we wait for them to open the doors to heaven. We'll be reporting back with our favorites during the 3.5 hr event. Bottoms up!!!

Guinness @ Scotland Yard in Hoboken

I can't believe I haven't reviewed a Guinness here yet (or if I have, I don't remember). Scotland Yard is by far my favorite bar in Hoboken that combines Scotland, Colombia and frat house basement to create a great place. After work you'll find the usual happy hour regular businessmen there grabbing beers, shots or maybe just sipping on some Rumpelmintz. The entire bar is half off till 7 which means Guinness is $3. On the weekends you'll run into anyone looking for a reasonably priced beer or a game of beer pong.

As for the Guinness, it was a decent pour that wouldve been better if it wasn't in a Budweiser glass, but for $3 I'm not complaining. Taste was pretty much what you would expect a Scotland Yard Guinness to taste like, a bit too bitter and not so crisp, but definitely above average. While I'm not going to say its a contender for the perfect pour, I will give it a medal for best value. At $3 you can't beat it.
