I made a vow to drink every beer we sell at Bottleworks. This is probably a fool's errand, but I'm giving it a go. This started on 8/27/09.

Ratings:
no stars = A drain pour. Not finishing it even if I paid money for it. Either infected or just a really shitty beer.

* = One and done. I’ll finish the entire thing, but I’m not a fan. Most likely will never have it again unless I’m drunk and forget that I’ve already had it.

** = A decent beer. Either middle-of-the-road or a mix of good and bad. Might drink again under certain circumstances or if there were no better options.

*** = A good beer. A solid, tasty offering that I’d gladly drink again, but probably won’t go out of my way to find if it’s not readily available.

**** = A really good beer. Something I’ll actively seek out to drink again and will consume whenever I have the chance.

***** = An amazing, mind-blowing beer. Something i’d consider giving up an appendage for or paying a ridiculous amount of money to obtain (for me, anything over $10-12 is ridiculous).
