What're you drinking right now?
Well I'm jealous of your Rogue Brutal Bitter because I only ever bought a couple bottles before it was all gone, and now I really wish I had some . But at the moment I'm sipping on a can of Oskar Blues Ten Fidy (thanks Jan!), as an after dinner digestive thing. It's pretty interesting, not sure if it's supposed to be like this but my can is completely flat, but I don't mind it. It makes it more interesting to me I guess as it seems different. Quite good, I'm definitely loving the hops in this one, although I think maybe I should give up my Imperial Stout binge given the heat and what not .

Just popped open a Lost Coast Downtown Brown. A lovely Brown Ale with a nice dark, burnt malt profile, a wonderful slight bitterness and an underlying taste of licorice. Lovely

I feel for you, brother. I've been in similar situations, and I tend to order a gin and tonic. I'd rather have water than spend my hard earned cash on a crappy beer.Tapsucker wrote:I'm so sad and conflicted...
I spent the night with a great bunch of people, but in a place with nothing but Inbev. In the end I just accepted that Blue was a little better than water. I really wished it would have been possible to share good beer with these good people.
I actually prefer blue light... IMHO, it's closer to water, and less offensive.Tapsucker wrote:I'm so sad and conflicted...

But yeah, crap beer just isn't worth it (taste, cost, calories, alcohol).
One nice thing about Inbev is that some of those Labatt towers now have acceptable imports.
Cool. I had no idea... as we don't get either of them here!robinvboyer wrote:Derek wrote:Really? A Christmas in July release?robinvboyer wrote: Alesmith Summer Yulesmith!
I was just going buy what Ratebeer has those two beers under. They are both listed as Alesmith Yulesmith, and one is summer, and one is winter. Sorry for the faux pas.
Buffalo had the Yulesmith in the spring though (presumably left over from the winter).

No worries, i'm fully aware we don't get them up here. I"m up in Sturgeon Falls.....scary the garbage i have to wade through up here. I was lucky enough to get the summer yulesmith in a trade, it was a delicious double IPA. I've had the winter yulesmith too, also very good, but not as good. It was in imperial red ale, or as ratebeer would say an "American Strong Ale".

Drinking terrible machine coffee, being at work for the last 17 hours, with another hour or so to go yet. And to think there is a Marsedous Tripel in my fridge at home that I'd been planning to kick off the weekend with tonight.
Although it could be worse, I could be in Sturgeon Falls, breathing in the fumes from the Mac Blo plant

The Mac Blo plant was bought buy Weyerhauser about 10 years ago, and then it was closed town about 5 years ago, and now it's 100% gone. Its just a huge massive patch of grass now. The hydro electric dam is still there, but there is nothing left of the plant.
