No. But I guess my last post was "written in an obsolete vernacular"

I think this version is better than the last two years. A much brighter, cleaner and more citrusy/floral hop profile than previous years. Finish is also much cleaner. I think the bitterness is balanced a bit better than previous versions as well; more bready sweetness on the finish. Really nice. Wor...

Hi All,

Recently went to Minnesota and picked up some fresh (canned August 14) Surly Furious IPA. Its been fridged for all but my 2 hour flight. I'd be happy to trade for something interesting in the Toronto area.

Also have some Bender and CynicAle if anyone is interested.

2011 Harvest Ale
Dunkel Buck

Both quite nice... I'm ready for the fall and autumn beers

This beer is awesome. I tried the Pinot d'Aunis this spring at the brewery. I bought a bottle and they made me open it right there. In terms of fruit beers it is the best I have had, including better than Blabaer Lambic.

Well worth the trip for everyone able to make it.

New Holland Imperial Hatter
Round Barn Oaked IPA

Last night at Volo

Hawaiian Style Pale Ale - this was really good
Ultra fresh Red Racer IPA
Beau's Sticke

When I was in the Czech Republic last year we were in a small town looking for Pivovar Matuska http://www.pivovarmatuska.cz/ We never found the brewery but the local sports pub at the soccer pitch sold us two 1.5 litre fruit juice bottles of the beer straight from the taps. He emptied the remaining...

I also got to meet some of the team and they seem like nice guys who are passionate about running a great brewery and building a solid brand. Best of luck to Spearhead, I now think this is a welcome addition to our scene. I agree. Met Dimitri the other night at Volo and I think he and Spearhead wil...

Enjoying some homebrew DIPA.....

Fantôme Magic Ghost.

Glad a brought some of this back with me. Its straight-up green in color and perfect for these summer nights.

I grabbed a sixer of the hopyard, one soba and 6 mad tom as well.

They restocked the Northwestern Ale which the online inventory is not showing either.

I tried this in January and loved it. A great doppelbock. Where did you try it?

ST IPA
ST 2XIPA

ST IPA + 2XIPA (Half and Half).....this tastes really great. Never mixed beers before (other than black and tans) but I really like this mix. Seems to make up for the shortcomings of both beers.

2XIPA....lots of tropical fruit flavours.
