Grand River Russian Gun - Such a smooth, easy drinker for it's weight. Love this stuff.

Followed by my own Imperial Stout... which seems like such a brute in comparison! (Also love it).

A bottle of "Lagunitas, Reuben And The Jets" thats been in the back of my fridge since September 2009. Bloody lovely. Reminds me of a good Belgian dubbel. Sweetness, but very smooth. I wish I had another dozen in the fridge.

Went to Kickoff tonight. Smash Bomb was finally on tap there. Very tasty.

Followed up with the Black Oak Summer Saison. Refreshing and pretty tasty, but we are getting into fall now, so maybe it's an old-ish batch, but I just did not like this as much as I did last year. As far as I can recall, it seems funkier, but that's going from no funk to just a touch, and the spicing was a bit subdued (which was what I loved about it last year).

Finished off at home with some Pilsner Urquell and Muskoka Hefe-Weisse.

Yep, I was the first to pick up a case (after Ken's mom) and after supping on one already, it's in fine form. See the thread in Events, "Bitter Day".
