I collect beer cans and picked up a couple of tall Budweisers a while ago as they had the NHL logo on them. Had them tonight watching the Wings and Sharks. Hockey was good; I've had better beer nights!

The 666 would be one of my go-to pales, but I've had trouble procuring consistent cans. One can tastes like the old moderately hopped brown ale that this beer used to be, the next one bursts with hop flavours and aromas (new stock, I'm assuming), and the third resembles something in between these contrasts. Until I can find some consistency with this product, I'll be waiting for the Canuck cans to satisfy my hop fix.

Yeah - I'm sure you'll agree that it's by no means a 'hop bomb,' but it certainly delivers plenty of humulus lupulus for an Ontario APA. And it's stupidly drinkable.

For sure. It's a hop forward ale that gives you lots of citrusy flavours, a little bitterness and some nice balanced malts. Definitely the kind of brew I like to have more than one of while hanging out on a Saturday night.

Founder's Centennial IPA after a long week of documentation.

Gonna crack into a few kegs of old homebrews with fellas tonight. Probably some Imperial IPA, some Amber, and maybe a few bottles of old pumpkin ale :)

Noble Pils & Boneshaker on tap at The Ship. For some reason the Noble was on nitrogen or something with really low carb. Still decent but not compared to the bottles in the store. First time having Boneshaker and it was tasty enough.

DFH 90. After that I'm hoping to be feeling good enough to watch Gnomeo & Juliet in 3D :o .

Had my last one last night, right after I drank your homebrew Heffe, which I really enjoyed!

"Tier"-worthy that one. Reminds me I have one Anchor Liberty left in the fridge and I will definitely shed a few when I have that one.

Right now having a Shipyard IPA.
