Naughty Neighbour --bottles --multiple----this will be / and is a regular for me now; great aromatics, delicious hops and light body make this a quaffer.

Fisheye IPA; not bad, I enjoyed it; it reminded me a bit of Duggan 9 IPA ---colour on the amber darker side, and somewhat similar malt flavours

Great Lakes Bourbon Barrel Imp stout---thick, decadent, loads of dark chocolate and bourbon with some background heat

Really good. Nice and lemony, tart, but also the rye comes through in a kinda spicy/peppery way. Good stuff.

A friend had his bachelor party in Montreal over the weekend. I had Jesus, I forget. Like 50 of them. I could use a nap.

Pretty good, nice grassy, yeasty, and lightly sulphuric flavour with a solid Noble hop bitterness to finish. Like a cross b/w Anno 1417 and Creemore Keller in terms of balance, and more sessionable than both. I'd order it again.
