I find most ST beers to be overly sweet, including barleywines.

Last night with family and friends:

Victory Ranch R DIPA
Ithaca Flower Power
DFH Hellhound
Boulevard Rye on Rye

I really liked the Common Session Ale--thought it was a great session ale while still having a nice hit of citrus and bitterness.

I continue to not understand your affinity for New Glarus Belgian Red. Blech.

I'm suspicious of whether it will work for Volo. The bar already gets really busy even when there is table service. But time will tell.

Cocktail Bar

Went to Cocktail bar last night (the replacement for the Black Hoof cafe, across the street from Black Hoof). Noticed they had the Crisp from Sixpoint in cans. Never seen Sixpoint in Canada, so was pretty curious.

Asked the server, but all she knew was that it had just come in. Interesting.
