Patio Saison and Farm Table were quite disappointing for me, but I thoroughly enjoyed the other two (despite Screaming Beaver not exactly being a DIPA). Personally if I was choosing the 4 beers for the pack only Matt's Sleepy Time would have made it. Then again I'd also be picking a beer I'm quite certain they'll never brew again as well as some Greener Futures stuff. Calling this a "best of" in my opinion is a bit misleading.

I couldn't stop supporting Beau's, they've done some great things, particularly for those of us in Ottawa.

I tried the farm table last night. It was ok except I think there was too much yeast from the bottom of the bottle in my glass, since it had this super nasty aftertaste that would not go away on its own. If the unfiltered yeast was the culprit, I am not sure why they put it in 600ml bottles, since it makes it almost impossible to pour into one glass with a single pour unless I break out my litrestein.
