[NAD is still special.]

and oh yeah, okay that was my second Shakespeare Stout a little while ago. still have to give it the "meh" rating as while it was perfectly good, absolutely nothing stood out about it. a bit too thin, and didn't have any balls to it. pretty much Rogue can be counted on for Dead Guy Ale (which is excellent) and then a whole shitload of 2nd class brews that are perfectly fine but not amazing. particularly disappointing as an Oregon brewery, as i place that region amongst the upper echelon of brewmeisters (then again that still places them in top 10 contention i suppose).

ps: i decided to hit the cheap wine now because my beer is gone. don't feel like sobering up, but don't feel like gettin shnockered off the Jim Beam you know what i'm sayin?
