But I'm just a homer and all of their beers taste like smoke........... :roll: :roll: :roll:
It seems to be a pattern of some new brewers that they release their 'beta test' versions before a beer is really worked out. (Probably happens in the States as well, no?)

Maybe a financial necessity to sell those first batches, but I hope it does not hurt the beer's success with potential repeat buyers.

Sierra Nevada Kellerweiss - Would be dangerously easy to kick a few of these back in a sitting.

DFH Burton Baton waiting for me when the week is over.

Hite from Korea. The most amazing beer ever for sales figures in Korea.

I'll have to pick something good after officially giving my resignation at work today. Feel good to be a gangsta

Ooh, does that mean you're "brewing" up a new job for yourself? Even if not, congrats! A little music for the occasion:

Yeah good luck with the next carreer thing. Even if it's just filling the yard with empy beer cans, you can eventually retire on those.

I'm craving Brutal Bitter later on!

Tree Brewing's Captivator Dopplebock. Real nice sweet malt aroma, and a kick of warming alcohol as it slips down. Very nice.

WOW, just finished a Howe Sound Total Eclipse of the Hop IIPA, and this is one of the most balanced, perfectly drinkable IIPA's I've ever tasted. Everything just moulds together wonderfully and is an absolute pleasure to drink. A real lesson to other brewers who 'think' an IIPA has to be hopped to high heaven to qualify. And the 1L bottle just goes far far too quickly.

My wife is the greatest. She went to Windsor the other day and on the way home stopped and picked me up a 6 pack of Mill St Coffee Porter since I had been talking about wanting to try it!!

After reading some good and bad comments about it, I wasn't sure what to expect. I personally thought it was an excellent beer. Coffee taste isn't too overpowering but each drink you take you can smell it in the glass. Another great brew from Mill St!

Fantastic beer. In my top 5. Got to have it on tap in the Eccentric Cafe/Bell's brewery a couple of years ago as well and it blew my mind.
