It excellent. I can actually pick out aspects of each of the 4 beers. Let me know what you think when you crack one.

Good to hear, I'm hoping Rick will share some with me on Saturday at our club BBQ, which is being catered by my other friend, and Canadian BBQ Champion, Rob Reinhardt.

Nice!

It's quite boozy, but in a very delightful way. I thought it had a lot of rum-like character. I'm starting to really appreciate things that are a bit different, but not way out of the ordinary.

Had Camerons Rye PA and Nickelbrook naughty Neighbour last night. Liked both, and happy to have them, especially now that we're hitting 40 degrees this week.

Had more than my fair share of Muskoka Spring Oddity last night.

On my way to Homegrown Hamilton to enjoy some Grand River Coffee Porter (as far as I know it's currently an exclusive there) and some vegan eats!

Tree Hophead Black IPA, just a very enjoyable beer with dark fruity tones.

2011 Driftwood Singularity from a trade over a year ago (thanks Derek!). Still super bourbon-y, boozy and oddly savory but awesome. Massive beer. I'm sure I'll sleep well tonight.
