Blood Brothers Unify or Die — Love drinking this one around the holidays. Medium-full bodied, full of cinnamon/coffee stouty goodness, a touch over carbonated, but remedied with some in-glass agitation. This reminds me, I must go fetch some Balam before it's gone.
De Moersleutel Dolle Dries 2 — My first pit beer. Nice soft mouthfeel, loads of coffee and a lingering unique savoury-sourish-bitter flavour which I assume is from the apricot pits. Interestingly if you Google apricot pits, you’ll learn they are toxic in large quantities. Some quacks have been selli...
If I go into a store knowing they have stock of something, but can't find it, almost always I get good service when I ask someone about it. I've had situations where they went out back for quite a while and finally found what I wanted. It helps to show them that the website is showing stock at thei...
I've done 5-10 store pickups and the product was always correct. The pickup process on the other hand is terrible. When I present with my order confirmation email I am met with a combination of confusion/skepticism/annoyance. It's 5-10 mins of asking others what to do. Much confusion about whether i...

For all intents and purposes this is a hoppy barley wine. I like the hop bitterness, but even if it fades, this will still be a nice ale to drink in a decade.
I had someone pick me up some goods from Wolverine Market and it was a very nice experience. They have all their stock listed on their website and Untapped. Lots of Odd Sides, Epic and other great stuff from Michigan an beyond. You can see what was recently added on Untappd to discern freshness. I c...
Anyone have any insight into this year's Double Tempest? Is it still available? Price? How does it compare to last year's batch? UPDATE: It is still available at Esandar Dr., $16.95 per bottle. It was unavailable for sample :( but the clerk said this batch is especially chocolatey. And they have can...
It was my first visit here and I had flight. Juicebox IPA was a little thin at 5.5%, but good. Orage IIPA was on point, super dank. The two dark beers (Cake Monster Habanero and Mad Batter) were severely lacking.
There really is no rhyme or reason to pricing here. The fact we get Utopias for the equivalent of US$85 when it is minimum US$190 down south is even more confounding. Sometimes companies use high pricing to position their brands as "super premium" in a market. This could be going on here,...
The new wild beer, Intermodal is quite good. A little funky on the nose, with some grape, stone fruit and oak aromas and flavours. Maybe a little lemon too. More American than Belgian I’d say, but really quite good. It will be nice to see how it develops over time. I thought it was fantastic as wel...
