| Baaad Boy Black Wheat Ale 3 Sheeps Brewing Co. Sheboygan, WI Label fun: Well, just look at all the sheep on the label. I'm not sure what that green thing is on the forehead of the dude in the forefront but his earrings are quite stunning! Oh my gosh! He's got a pierced eyebrow and nostril as well! 5.5% alc/vol I gave this beer a So So rating on 10/18/14, but it rocks anyway. It's truly BAAAD! |

| Mirror Pond Pale Ale Deschutes Brewery Bend, Oregon Label fun: Crafted for explorers everywhere since 1988. "A distinct hop nose and deft balance made this pale ale an instant classic. It is aromatically complex, multi-layered and unmistakably honest. Your handy compass of 'right' when exploring beer." 5.0% alc/vol The best by date on my bottle of Mirror Pond was 10/27/14. Phew, I just made it by enjoying it on 10/19/14!! Hold on folks; I gave this beer a Yes Yes rating!! Let the good times roll!! |

| IPA Shipwrecked Egg Harbor, WI The familiar face of the captain adorns this beer label. No alc/vol is available. No label fun is available. Woe is me! I drank this IPA on 10/19/14 and rated it So So. |
 |
| 2XONE Single Varietal Ale (Seasonal) Southern Tier Brewing Co. Lakewood, NY Label fun: Brewed with 1 variety of hop and 1 type of malt. Upon close inspection, I was delighted to find several male figures on unicycles on the lower edge of the label. 8.1% alc/vol Regarding the taste, I gave 2XONE a So So rating. |

| Hop Whoopin' Ale O'So Brewing Co. Plover, WI Label fun: S.M.A.S.H. 95 IBU INTENSE FREAKISH OBNOXIOUS EXCESSIVE DERANGED Join the fight against boring beer at OSOBREWING.COM! Discover the art of freestyle brewing. No alc/vol is available. On 10/21/14, I rated Hop Whoopin' as a So So beer. I must say that I do love the radical adjectives. |
 |
| Brown & Robust Porter Wisconsin Brewing Co. Verona, WI 5.2% alc/vol Today, 10/21/14, I give this porter a So So rating. So So isn't a bad rating. This beer relaxed me and helped make it a good day. That's the main thing! That's really all I ask. |
 |
| Summer Ale Summit Brewing Co. St. Paul, Minnesota Label fun: Ingredients: water, barley malt, wheat malt, hops I like the birch trees and the duck on the label. 4.4% alc/vol I had this beer on 10/22/14 and I couldn't do better than a So So rating. Sorry! |
 |
| Outboard Cream Ale Milwaukee Brewing Co. Milwaukee, WI Label fun: "That's local flavor." 5.0% alc/vol I gave Outboard a So So rating, today, 10/23/14. I wasn't thrilled. The beer name "Outboard", makes me think this may be a seasonal (summer) beer. I found it at the local grocery store a few days ago and I'm drinking it today for fear it's approaching old age. (I'm still researching the subject of beer freshness). Awards go to: Hop Whoopin' and Baaad Boy for the cleverest names 2XONE for the most alcohol at a whopping 8.1 % alc/vol Mirror Pond for the loveliest name, prettiest label and also for a rare Yes Yes rating!! CHEERS! |
