Just tried to request an EW v WT101 taste test. Unfortunately, there's no EW at this bar. Would have been a good virgin run on both (I think. Might have had wild turkey at a camp out in the white mountains like 15 years ago).

Maybe go for wt / makers mark taste test and compare the sweetness, will give you an idea of where it stands for the ew.

Might be too late. I ordered a Sam Adams Boston Lager... an admitted mistake. I haven't had this beer in a decade and it's pretty terrible. I am tired of bud light and this bar has no selection (see pic). Work tomorrow and getting late. I'll see if I can swing the taste test after the SA.

My wife is out of town next weekend so I'll have some prime 'taste testing' time. Gonna grab a pint of evan williams and a pint of wild turkey and will directly compare.

I'll leave this one to you then. This random dude and his wife just offered to buy my a black Cadillac. I can't turn down free drinks.
+1 for Evan Williams.
When not drinking Evan I drink 4 Roses single barrel or Knob Creek single barrel (which I haven't been about to find in SoCal yet)
Costco also had a very good 1 liter Tennessee bourbon (I think single barrel) which was only like $25 or something

Fwiw, don't ever drink a black Cadillac, even if it's free. Fucking sugary garbage shot. Cafe patron and baileys or something similar.

Man, Boston Lager isn't that bad a beer. And the decoction mash in a modern brewery is absurd.

Tony Magee (founder, now part owner) is really grating and hypocritical (IMO). With so many choices available it is pretty easy to choose something else.

While we're on the topic of the beer scene, this article by the founder of Modern Times does a really good job of explaining the purchase of craft brands by big beer and its consequences.
tl;dr - the sold craft label will probably still produce high quality beer, but it will be used to push smaller labels off shelves & taps through distribution muscle and the ability to price at a loss to kill competition.

Lagunitas would have been a better choice, but it's a pretty meh IPA given the IPA market these days. I was in the mood to give Boston Lager another try.

The ramped up production of their acquisitions also makes some specific ingredients harder to come by for the smaller operations.
