Celebrator
Barking Squirrel
Moar Celebrator.

Celebrator is my highest rated beer on RB (4.9), and the closest thing I know to perfection in a glass. Thank you, so much Lickbow for bringing it in.

Jesus H Fucking Christ in a chicken basket, can a discussion about a fucking DOPPLEBOCK not get derailed into one about hops? Celebrator is for those who can appreciate something that doesn't punch you in the face or grab your scrotum with over-hoppiness. Yes, Ontario has some hoppy beers now. Holy ...

Just had some Ghosttown during the start of our annual scary movie marathon and while it wasn't terrible, I don't think I'd pick it up again. I felt like the finish was more hollow than it should be and the tatse was some what washed out. Maybe it was the Absinthe, which does offer some nice, subtl...

We've got a new beer guy at my store, so store 200 is now the most craft friendly in London.
The LCBO is the most Len Manning-friendly store in Ontario.

Charlevoix Triple. Also, a bunch of Formosa Springs Draught, in the early morning rain, as cold and drunk as I can be. Feeling good was good enough for me, good enough for me and Bobby McGee.

2.5 year old bottle of DFH Palo Santo - I rag on DFH a lot, I think they have many epic fails, and their QC is brutal, but the Palo Santo is easily their best offering, and this one drinks like a champ with some age on it. I know. They really nailed the essence of popsicle stick. Well at least they...

This one time, I was drinking with Len Manning, and he told a whole bar full of people not to vote for John Tory, just to win a bet. It cost the guy the election. Classic Len Manning.

where is the super collider? Flying Monkeys is but a 40 minute drive from Toronto so its not that bad. Barrie is a lovely little city too. Nice place to spend a Sunday, enjoying Super Collider on the waterfront of Lake Simcoe (pour the beer to a different container of course) . As nice as it would ...

Len I know for a fact you once funnelled 4L of yeast in front of an OCB meeting just to prove a point. I was there. Now you're just trolling.
