Looking forward to opening my bottles. Way ahead of you! At Bellwoods I had the Roman candle IPA and the Muggleweisse brown sour, and boy was it ever! https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-VjPuL3dS140/UF41lTRm1YI/AAAAAAAAC7g/HE4Jj661tgk/s576/IMAGE_7CE6B02A-6696-496D-8007-4E3BC406173F.JPG Tucking into ...

SOmehow we missed eachother! I was there twice yesterday. Cale and I were also hoping for the Lonepine, but it wasn't on yet. Also had the West Coast at the Judge. It's a bit undercarbonated to my palate, but the flavours and bitterness were on point. I was probably there at around seven, and it wa...

I stopped by The Ship looking for the Lonepine IPAA, but wasn't on yet so I went to the judge for a church key West Coast pale ale. I'd never had it before but was quite pleased wit it.

Sorry if this is bad form, but I was also plannining on making an ISO post, and one item was going to be Dark Lord. If there's any more out there that's up for grabs I have a few Westvleteren 12s that I believe are approaching 2 years old. Just take care of TheBeeraholic first ;).

Well I was hoping to be drinking a Highballer but the LCBO wouldn't sell me a bottle even though there are two cases in the back already... Evidently it's not in the system yet or something, although it is showing up on the website. Now drinking a Highballer pumpkin ale. I drove to a different store...

At Streets house tonight along with Cale, Electroluminescent and their significant others. A few brews were enjoyed before I came, but while there I sampled: Cigar City Kalevipoeg - nice Baltic Porter, everyone tasted hints of root beer Dark Island Reserve (courtesty of Boney) - not overpowering ba...

A friend of mine suggested it should be called the "Eye Of The Storm"... And after that I guess you chug another Tempest!

Sawdust City Golden Beach at The Judge, and then hit One Duke for a $4.75 Pint of Naughty Neighbour!

And it looks like the calm before the storm is already gone.

Now a magic hat number nine at home. Not bad, but probably won't be buying more.

What a fantastic dark mild. Incredibly opaque except where a dark toffee brown edges the cup. The nose is full of rye spice, cocoa, roasted malt, and a fantastic smattering of Styrian Goldings aroma – floral and grassy. The taste seemed a little more one dimensional to me, dominated by rye with choc...

Twin Peaks. A series I still haven't watched either, so please don't tell me who killed Laura Palmer!
