Re: Bush Pilot Stormy Monday

Finally! Our Calvados barrel aged barley wine is starting to show up in stores. Please let us know what you think of it. I'm enjoying one right now, this is good stuff. The calvados adds a real interesting twist flavour wise, not your typical barrel flavour. The heart of this beer is a barley wine,...

Ghandi was a vegetarian.
Yeah, it says that on the can, I'm not a vegetarian myself. Good brew!

The 2013 had a sharper alcohol presence, the 2012 was nice with a year on it, slightly smoother. But they are quite fine fresh too.

Yes, they did only about four (edit: five) hundred bottles, but they only really announced it on twitter and to their mailing list, so they may have them for a little while.

Nickel Brook Malevolent Imperial Black IPA, boozy, but I like the hop flavour in this one. Hoppy, with a whisper of dank. Although the price leaves something to be desired. I guess many brewers here are seeing dollar signs in their eyes with 650 and 750 formats, it's kind of like the wild west prici...

Still ignoring and belittling customers as a rule, or have they grasped the concept of customer service?

Earlier today, a Cameron's RPA, bottled a mere 10 days ago. Tastes great. Right now, I'm at the bottom end of a He'Brew Sweet 16. At the beginning, I would say this was a hot mess, too much. But now, as it has come in to it's own, this is a fantastic drink.
