Are you ready for some beer reviews?

Between the last time I posted (and said I was going to post regularly) and now, which was about six-months.  Maybe seven.  I have drank a few beers.  Several beers.  Maybe a lot of beers.  And that is plural, with an 's.'  Yes, yes, I drank a lot of beer in general, however I made it a point to pick out a new and exciting beer (or at least a new beer) every time I went to the local retailer to pick up something for the weekend.  This resulted in many different styles, types and tastings of our favourite carbonated beverage.

At the same time, I kept all of these empty bottles and bombers, and placed them lovingly on top of the cabinets in my kitchen.  And then it happened: Col wanted to clean and paint the kitchen.  So all of these bottles needed to head for the recycling bin, my monument and historical data being lost to time and a furnace to meet me once again as some other type of beverage (most likely Boulevard, as most glass recycling in the KC area is re-purposed as bottles for Boulevard).  That's not bad, as long as it is for Love Child #2, and not for something like Zon, or Nutcracker.  Or the Bourbon Barrel Quad, which was horrendous.  Anyway, you should be able to read my reviews of those upcoming.

So over a few days, I took each of the bottles, or groupings of bottles, and photographed them as they were taken down and tossed.  And as I have time, I have begun to review each of them, writing up a small briefing of whether I liked or disliked this particular brew.

Anyway, for what I am about to post, there is a simple ranking system and information that I will post from here on out.  That will come in a second part to this review.
