Followed it up with a 2011 KBS that is drinking beautifully right now.
I was so tempted to buy some Lost Abbey stuff when I was in California last week, but all the stories of flat, off, exploding bottles just put me right off, especially when you're paying upwards of $15.

Anyway, enjoying a 5 month old Alaskan Perseverance Ale. The short amount of time has really mellowed the alcohol burn and brought more of the roast & honey flavours out. Most enjoyable.

I've never had a bad bottle from Lost Abbey. Have 5 or 6 different bottles in the last 2 years and everyone has been a winner. Just lucky, I guess. Took a chance on Angel's Share Bourbon and it was the best beer I had last year.

ST Unearthly. From brewery not LCBO. Exactly a week old today. I hope bottles about to hit LCBO taste as fresh. Great IIPA.

Spruce Beer - 3rd bottle so far, and I keep liking this beer more and more...

Liberty Ale. Still happy it's back. Will have to replenish my 6pack soon.

Wife and I finished off the last two tonight! I think I'm going to try to always have some on hand...

Right now I'm drinking a Monster Ale. I've got another 4 pk that I'm going to put away for a while hopefully it'll age nicely.

Fish Brewing Reel Ale Starfish Imperial Red - Muted aroma of caramel and cut grass, smooth mouthfeel, low carbonation, not sure if all 63 BU's or 7.5% are showing up, but it does have a very good balance with the graininess of the flaked barley coming through, with a short bitter finish.

Drinking a Garrison Spruce Beer while writing some show prep for tomorrow afternoon.

Incredibly unique. Not sure if I like it yet, but it certainly has very robust and different flavour.

Unearthly! It's well, "unearthly"...actually as much as I love it, It's a real familiar taste and I just wonder if it's because I'm getting used the ST beers - is it the yeast, I wonder...

Anyways, for those of you wondering, these were bottled on Jan 10 - so not too bad on the freshness scale...First time drinking this (if you don't count Gemini last year!) Double Hop Head is great, but this is just fantastic!

You're right. It's a distinct Soutern Tier taste I've become accustomed to. Anyways started the afternoon with a Gemini (fresh fr brewery) wish this was still at the LCBO I love it. Then went to Jack Astors for dinner. Had a hip Coty barking squirrel and Sam Adams winter lager. Back home now having a double hophead. It's great but like Jeff said ST is fantastic. Have my second unearthly chilling now for later on.

My last bottle of Alley Kat Green Dragon DIPA. Brewery are all sold out and only one liquor store in Edmonton has stock; and they only have 3 cases!!!

Knee Deep Brewing HOPTOLOGIST DIPA. Bags of tropical fruit on the nose, reminds me of a fruit salad mixed with a hint of cat pee. Great sweet malt to balance the hops on the palate, and all ends dry & bitter. Nice

so far a bottle of vitus, double hop head, friends homdbrewed coffee porter and his amber ale. I think thats a night. Vitus by the way is one badass beer. if you enjoy wheat beers this is a must. Reminds me of hopfen weisse without the hopfen.
