CA CASH REFUND
Strolling through BevMo the other day, my better half & I decided to shop for some beers and do some taste testing. The mouth was watering when I saw "Young's Luxury Double Chocolate Stout." We decided to get one "good" beer and one "not so good" for comparison.
My tasting notes: Damn! This chocolate stuck in my beer thing is WORKING! I noticed that they had it in cans too. Better to stuff into my backpack!
Review from my better half: It tastes like a coffee brownie, or something like that. It's MMmmm good, very rich. Just like dessert, but better
Next we decided to find the best tasting beer for the lowest price tag. The winner for Best Beer in the cheap-ass shwag category was Henry Weinhard's Private Reserve Premium Beer, at only $8.99 for a 12-pack.
My tasting notes: It's definitely not a good beer, but it's so much better than Miller Lite. I wonder if it's as good as Tacate and Modelo? The bottle thing is a trick. Maybe it's the inside of the bottle I'm tasting.
Hon's tasting notes: Drinkable, for sure. It's tangy and refreshing, but it doesn't taste like a piss. It's not offensive.
This was heads and burps above any other domestic swill on the shelf. Who is this Henry Weinhard and where was he when I was suffering through cases of Natural Light in college? The company claims that the beer has been around for 150 years, but somehow I only discovered it a few years ago when I moved to California. It's not exactly the world's best tasting cheap beer, but it will do the job and it's available in bottles.
Bottoms up, beer lovers and chuggers!

Dude, Henry's was it when we wanted classy-looking beer at Keystone Light prices. I don't drink it anymore but, in my beergoggle days, Henry was my pal.
