Beer of the Month
May 2011 - Dark Horse - Crooked Tree IPA
Rating Guide
The glass is full:
This beer is excellent! I'll drink this beer whenever I have the chance. Highly recommended.
The glass is half full:
This beer is good. I'll have another please.
The glass is half empty:
(which is indeed the same as half full literally - but not rhetorically) This beer is just okay. Don't think I'll have another.
The glass is empty:
I would only drink this beer if I had nothing else
available, or if I really didn't care, or if it was dirt cheap.
And maybe not even then. This is swill.

About Me
"Lines on Ale" by Edgar Allen Poe
Fill with mingled cream and amber
- I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
- Through the chamber of my brain -
Quaintest thoughts - queerest fancies
- Come to life and fade away;
What care I how time advances?
