lets split a case, ill shell out for this one if you are interested, PM coming

tonight ive enjoyed a small IPA fest:

True North IPA
Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA
Ass Over Tea Kettle IIPA (homebrew)

tonight:

Miller High Life
Homebrewed Wild Ale
Grand River Curmudgeon
True North Strong Ale

i plan on grabing this and the lager on my next beer store trip. i cant wait to try them.

FYI the Magnotta Iced Cider is worth checking out

to those of you who have tried the Curmudgeon once and not found it spectacular please try it again but first know this is the most layered, complex IPA ive ever tasted and try a bottled version at just below room temp.

ive never had a bad homebrewed beer but ive never had good home made wine. as other have said filling one of your fermenting vessels with wine for a few years just means multiple batches of beer were not occupying the same space.

tonight ive had a True North Strong Ale, a Youngs Double Chocolate Stout, and now my first bottle of a batch of homebrewed IIPA.

tonight my wife and i shared a bottle of LA PUERTA SHIRAZ, LCBO # 614636. i found this to be hella drinkable. a new world shiraz with some wood and earthy notes. no artificial vanilla like some of the aussie shiraz. not mind blowingly complex but enjoyable for the price. my wife loves shiraz and whe...

tonight ive had a true north IPA, a GR Curmudgeon IPA, a Bell Expedition Stout, and now onto a HB'd Irish Red.

Ok those are all reasonable beers. But really, sometimes it sounds like we all have Stockholm Syndrome.

tonight ive had a RJ Blonde dAchouffe, a homebrewed Imperial stout, wine (will mention in the other thread), and now a homebrewed wild ale. its been a good night.

...during the hight of mid-term season. Keep studying. Sound advice, ignoring the preceding statement "...I got off somewhat easy with zero exams to write...", but thanks. Probably a good thing I have no beer tonight actually, I'm sleepy enough as it is and this damn assignment isn't writ...

here my RB review: 500 ml bottle from the brewery. bottled Feb 9th 2009. enjoyed Feb 11th 2009. now thats some fresh IPA. pours beautiful bright orange with a full white head that lingers and laces. wonderful earthly hop aroma with big pale malt backbone. the aroma is big and full just like you woul...

Grand River Curmudgeon IPA.......damn fine stuff!!

I just came from the Grand River Brewery, were we had the first tastings of the new Curmudgon IPA, along with Southern Tier IPA, Mad Anthony IPA, and Michigan Brewing Company High Seas IPA. It was a great evening. I'm finishing the night along the same lines with an Anchor Liberty Ale. how did the ...
