I post my tasting notes of good (and bad) beer that I find in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. I don't write snooty or nuanced reviews, nor do I only drink one style of beer.

I'll generally rate beers on this purposefully crude scale, with a few accompanying tasting notes:

0 = offensively bad
1 = bad
2 = meh (mediocre)
3 = good
4 = exceptional

Follow me for an eclectic mix of beers and info about where to find them. I am Stephen Goggin. When I'm not writing about good beer and drinking it, I'm a PhD candidate at UC Berkeley.

 

Anheuser Busch’s Busch. It was an integral part of my halloween costume. You’re probably expecting me to rant about American Macros, etc. and criticize them and be a beer snob. And honestly, I can’t. There’s a reason beer like this exists - the same reason fast food exists - it is there when you want something in a hurry that you can eat/drink quickly, is cheap, and isn’t fussy.
