Alcoholics Anonymous ( Guinness- extra stout)

Seeing as to how my last review was me at my worst I figured it would be good to see me at my best and most biased. So this time I'm going with arguably the bar for what a good beer should be. This time I'm actually really looking forward to having a swig. " down the hatch" Yeah that's just good beer. Smooth and little bit of tang too it. Something I don't usually like in beers but here it just works. Honestly you couldn't pay me enough to talk badly about this brew. The bottle alone is incredible the slightest of curves and amazing black and gold contrast. The harp that pays homage to the will of the Irish, a rich history for centuries old brew. Even out of the bottle thanks to the nitrogen it has an amazing look in a pint. A dark brew with a white foam crown. Truly royalty among beers. I know it sounds like I'm kissing ass here, and that's only because I am it's too be expected though when this brew is #2 for my favorite brews ever.
   Ok next comes the marketing and ad portion. Honestly I don't have many notes here sorry. So instead I'll be reaching for scraps. Firstly when I think of Guinness I think a bar beer or a drink with a bud or two at home. I don't really picture a club or ragers/house parties which might explain why I've never seen Guinness in more than a six pack. So the only thing I can think of to improve here is the lack of a good tagline. My change is simple enough and explains what everyone should already know.
                                                       Guinness
                                                  " Enough Said."
I know kind of a cop out but personally I like it and I think it represents the beer pretty well.

P.S. If your wondering what happened with the deep dive research for marketing I tried but my internet was pretty bad and every time I tried to pull up the stats it would just load endlessly. Sorry but this one was also just opinion based on the marketing portion. Also I felt the last review was too long so for this one I tried to keep it short but now I think it's too short hopefully the next one will be better still figuring this out as I go and slowly improving maybe I will even revisit these early reviews once I've got the formula down.

Bee’s knees

Ok so I recently have come to realize how sad my situation is. I have more alcohol in my fridge then food. Now I'm not a big drinker. Except for social events I hardly ever drink at home. Sure I'll have a single beer every now and again or a glass of liquor, but those are once in a month type things. So in a way it makes sense I have more beer, but still I can't help but feel like maybe it should raise concerns. The one good thing about this blog and my dream of crafting my own brew is at least now I can always excuse the amount of alcohol I have as a necessity. Back on the crafting front I've come to realize why more companies don't go with mead. As luck would have it honey is kind of a main ingredient in mead and looking at recent honey prices I could hear my wallet cry in terror. Honey prices are insane so I'm gonna have to find a way to remedy this situation and keep cost down if I'm ever going to start a business. I considered starting a honey farm sinc...

A new challenger arrives.

I’ve recently become aware that one of the Sprouse twins decided to make his own mead, and am now convinced my ideas are being stolen by the world.  Damn you “the government”. You thought stealers, don't you just hate that feeling when you think of something then it feels like out of no where everyone else is doing it. In all faire was to the sprouts guy though he was doing it long before me. Look I’ll be honest I don’t know if it was Zack or Cody I can’t tell them apart even with names. Although I’m a bit relieved to see he focused on the wine aspect of mead as I was planning to market it and focus my brew more in a simple pint style or beer bottle drink. I’m not planning to make it to sweet just a bit sweeter then most ales. If it’s too sweet at that point I may as well just be drinking fruit juice. I definitely want a flavor profile that focuses more on the bitterness with some sweetness thrown in to make you look forward to the next sip rather than fear it. For now I’m going...

Home Brewed- Intro

So I’m sure we’ve all been there before. You know the moment you’re having a drink and realize this taste like shit. Yes ladies and gentlemen I am referring to the oldest beverage alcohol, the prize of the victorious and the prescription for whatever “ale’s” you. For centuries these tonics have serviced the world and it’s one of the few things many of us share a common interest in. You can be urban, “subourbon”, or rural we all enjoy a drink now and again some more than others right Justice Kavanaugh… I like beer too. Oh man I’m probably gonna catch hell for that joke but I just couldn't resist, I’ll admit I’m notoriously bad for catching low hanging fruit that for some may be considered a bit time sensitive. Back to my point though, one day I’m drinking and think to myself this taste like ass why don’t they make it you know not taste like shit? Why don't they make good beer? This eventually led me down a rabbit whole of thoughts till I somehow convinced myself getting involv...
