David O'Brien is drinking a Calzone Party Lager by Rockwell Beer Co. at Sauce on the Side
A solid, if unremarkable, beer that’s good for washing down a calzone on a hot day. I wouldn’t order it by itself, but if you make it to Sauce on the Side in St. Louis, you could do much worse!

David O'Brien is drinking a Spire of Dublin by Listermann Brewing Company at Listermann Brewing Company
A little heavier than a stereotypical Irish stout (and *much* heavier than, say, Guinness) - but plenty of flavor and very drinkable. It’s the opposite of crushable… this is one to take your time with.

David O'Brien is drinking an Original Pear Cider by Hemly Cider at Midtown Lounge
Probably a ~tad~ sweeter than it needs to be, but otherwise delicious. Great flavor, not too carbonated, goes down easy.

David O'Brien is drinking a Maiden & Priest by Fieldwork® Brewing Company at Fieldwork Brewing Company
A heavenly take on a classic German black lager, or Schwarzbier. It’s malty but not oppressively so, substantive but not heavy, flavorful but never overpowering. A very nuanced and delicious beer, worth savoring. Don’t rush it with this one.

Crisp and refreshing, but could use more flavor. If you’re looking for a craft-caliber lager, be aware that this one tastes extremely “light.” Not a bad thing, just good to be aware of.
