Brandon Shanks is drinking a Pineapple Chi Chi by Maui Brewing Company at Grape Expectations

Smooth and creamy pineapple ale that gets a huge assist from the nitro brew style. Super crushable at 4.8%, solid deck beer for the price.

Brandon Shanks is drinking a Rekorderlig Passionfruit (Passionsfrukt) by Åbro Bryggeri at Grape Expectations

Super clean tasting passion fruit cider with an odd aftertaste. Much more refreshing than most other ciders, but just doesn't quite hit the same.

Brandon Shanks is drinking a District Common by Atlas Brew Works at Grape Expectations

Smooth and light lager that is kinda misleading with its color. Very nice mixture of hops and malt, goes down smooth. Definitely crushable.

Brandon Shanks is drinking an Island Colada Cream Ale by Kona Brewing Hawaii at Grape Expectations

Smooth cream ale with very subtle notes of coconut and pineapple in the finish. Unbelievably light for a 6% beer, would be great for day drinking.

Brandon Shanks is drinking a Raise the Dead by Antietam Brewery at Grape Expectations

Smooth coffee stout with a dominant chocolate aftertaste that masks the bitterness. Would probably love this more with a full plate of food.

Brandon Shanks is drinking a Guinness Nitro Cold Brew Coffee by Guinness at Grape Expectations

Never liked anything from Guinness before but this completely blew me away. Next to no alcohol taste, super smooth finish, and the actual coffee flavor wasn't overwhelmingly bitter.

Brandon Shanks is drinking a Winter Lager (Retired Version) by Samuel Adams at Grape Expectations

Honestly a pretty damn good seasonal lager. Very light with a slight citrus aftertaste. The "spice" seems to be misleading, I only tasted citrus notes.

Brandon Shanks is drinking a Family Drama by Flying Dog Brewery at Grape Expectations

Unremarkable pilsner, a step up from the usual generics but forgettable compared to the rest of what FD has to offer. Light and smooth aftertaste.

Brandon Shanks is drinking a Punkin Ale by Dogfish Head Craft Brewery at Grape Expectations

Pumpkin beer that just seems to not have spice added in compared to last year's release??? Very strange taste throughout, maybe I got a bad batch or something, because 2019's release was fantastic.
