I focus on fundamental information, tasting notes, and overall thoughts rather than scores, harsh criticism, or arbitrary ratings. This supplements my other work such as writing for District Fray Magazine, creating cocktails, and posting more "everyday" stuff through my Instagram, @baconesque. Enjoy!

Beer Flash: Avery Brewing Co.'s "Collaboration Not Litigation" ale
Saw this on the shelf at Irving Wines and Spirits, and upon suggestion of owner Jesse, I picked it up. It's an 8.9% ABV ale from Avery Brewing Co. The history is kind of interesting - apparently, both Russian River Brewing Co. and Avery have a beer called "Salvation." But, instead of litigating in a courtroom showdown to see who owned the rights to that name, the two beer dudes decided to combine the beers into one delicious ale. I enjoyed it - there was a nice combination of malts and spices. Lighter than I expected. Reminds me of a lighter version of Peak Organic's King Crimson, with all the sweet maltiness retained. Wasn't bad for $9.99 per 220z bomber.
