The Syndicate

This thread needs to be resurrected.

Our local grocery store (part of a regional chain) now sells beer. They do a mix 6 option where you get to pick six individual bottles from a special section. It’s a tad overpriced, but it gets me some variety. I’m trying to figure out what ‘good beer’ is, so I’ll be mix 6-ing it for a while to broaden my horizons. Here’s what I’ve had so far:

Really Good:
-Yuengling Black & Tan (porter & pilsner blend)

Good:
-Stella Artois (pilsner)
-Mike’s Hard Pomegranate Blueberry Lemonade (not beer)

Okay:
-Lagunitas’ Hop Stoopid (ale)


My two remaining from this mix 6 are a strawberry blonde and a vanilla accented porter.

I'm drinking a DeClaw's The Devil Made Me Do It golden sour with dinner. It's adequate but I realize that I have no understanding of how to rate beer. I don't dislike it but it's not a must-repeat either.

PS- 5.5% abv and I have a good buzz going. I am such a lightweight!
