Not just the pint

Venue reviews

Price matters. The pour matters. And if the place feels like an airport departure lounge, I'm telling you.

About this nonsense

Why does this exist?

Because I own KirkDrinks.beer, which legally obligated me to do something useful with it. So I'm drinking my way around the world, rating the beers, reviewing the places and pinning the evidence.
