Quite the night of drinking between Leafs/Bruins, and Hadfield coming back to earth. Hopefully can get ahold of Sofie and Matilda for Sens/Pens game 1 tomorrow.

What're you drinking right now?
Drinking a Goose Island Pepe Nero right now. Had the Matilda the other night. Not super impressed with either. Competent, but nothing with either of them really makes them stand out, in my mind.
Anyone else getting totally rusted out bottle caps on these GI beers? Both the Pepe and Matilda had wicked rusty caps. Haven't checked my Sofie yet. Makes me hesitant to age any of these.

Don't forget BIRRIFICIO DEL DUCATO NEW MORNING (Saison) and Panil Barrique..... but yeah BIA IPA tastes distinctively European in a way quite different from the British style, it's really good.Philip1 wrote:BIA IPA. Wow...an imported Italian beer NOT made by Peroni! I can imagine some uber-American IPA fans saying "not enough flavour, dude" but for me this is balanced just right.
At Red House I had some very fine GL Naughty Neighbor, Boreal Rousse, NB Headstock IPA, and I sent back a Rose de Hibiscus that was stale and flat (two strikes for DDC at this otherwise great Kingston bar. What gives.)
I also enjoyed a prime pint of Dragon's Breath Cask Pale Ale at KBC. Loads of alefruit and charm, sometimes they hit it just right

RPA and then found an old (re: first bottling) of Twice as Mad Tom - opened it up - boy these bottles hold up really well. A little of the aroma missing, but that's about it...

Did a Buffalo Run today. I'm not sure if I missed it on previous visits but I came across a bunch of Sixpoint beers at Premier Gourment. Had a Resin tonight: beautiful. Followed up with a Nugget Nectar: even better.
But it seems that despite my best Tetris-like organization attempts, I can't fit all the new acquisitions into my beer fridge. Tragedy! While moving things around I found a Deviant Dale's that was tucked away at the back for at least a year. Still drinking beautifully. Dank, for certain.

Aphrodisiaque,
Ephemere Black Currant
& Denison's Weisse.
Good stuff, Canada... even without big monster hops.

Kudos to that Thomas Hardy's ritzkiss!
I decided to open up some vintage UK ales in celebration of the long weekend...
2012 Fullers Vintage Ale
2010 Ola Dubh 12 Year
2009 Fullers Vintage Ale
1978 Courage Russian Imperial Stout
The '78 is by far the oldest beer I've ever had...and I'm slowly savouring the last drops, it absolutely over-delivered. Still in 'beer shock' as I expected it to be bad...
