today while brewing i had a few homebrew and 2 bottles of sierra nevada ruthless rye pale ale. Very nice beer. Good amount of rye flavour very dry and spicy.

After a couple of beer-free days, I am enjoying a Great Lakes Project X Lake Effect IPA courtesy of Soods. This one is great! If only the Project X bottles were more available...

Russell & Storm's Big Smoke collaboration (10% peat malt!).

Now an Ardbeg, which doesn't seem nearly as smoky as usual.

Happy Robbie Burns Day!

Last night enjoyed my first Six Point ale. They're Bengali Tiger, biggest East Coast IPA true to the style I've had yet. Tons and tons of pine in this one.

Garrison Spruce Beer - it's kinda real good, a bit herbal and sarsaparilla-like with some bitterness to counter the full rich sweetness. (Do try it cold.) Some mineral character, and hunting for woody and resin character, OK maybe there's some of that there too. Has certain aromas and tastes I'd expect more in wine. It will grow on me and it's certainly not bad stuff the first time today.

(All five of the release at Front St & Jarvis Elseebio.)

It's too bad Labatt Nordic isn't around any more. It had a lot of complexity to it that was very rewarding the more you drank of it.

So...I'm sittin' around watching TV...enjoying some ice floating around a glass of whisky. When done, I decide to open a bottle of Mad Tom. I sit back down then remember I need a glass as I don't generally like drinking good beer right from the bottle. I spy my empty rocks glass and, being the lazy cow that I am, decide to use it for the beer...ice and all. It was pretty tasty. Now, I know what you're thinking: this guy is a real loser and somewhat of a douche. Well, maybe so. But, the beer was super chilly and the small glass was emptied (and re-filled) long before much of the ice turned to water and diluted the beer - the hops seemed to crispen initially on the mouth and then explode on the finish. Now, as a rule I appreciate the magic of beer as it warms in a pint glass, opening up beautiful aromas and flavours....mmmmm. I lust for neat single malts and toy with adding a dorp or two of water, but sometimes a guy just needs to get out and float his cubes...if you know what I mean.

I'd give you a chance to prove that in person.
