Some of the best beers opened at The Brew Lounge

It's turned out to be a Tuesday thing. So tomorrow morning I'll again share a weekly review of the beers I enjoyed most in the previous week. Looks like roughly 4-5 get the nod each week thus far. I'm enjoying it as a way to look back on just how productive (and enjoyable) was the prior week. Also, a peek in to where I'd been and what I found along the way.

Hopefully, you're getting something out of them as well. Because I guarantee you will not be finding these anywhere on Untappd...or Untapped...or however you misspell it.

I'll keep a running index here of all beers that have made my honor roll (if this continues to go well, maybe I should come with an official name for it). Maybe it's my own Brew Lounge Taps. I'm not terribly creative, so that aspect may take some time.
