Bottle of John By that seems to have drained itself rather rapidly. Think I'm going to drink my last Sam Smith Oatmeal next.

It's the first day of Lent... Bring out the doppelbocks!

Sadly, I'm drinking water (still getting over a stomach bug).

Busted out a Goose Island Pere Jacques which I believe is from last summer. Quite nice.

I decided it was time to crack into my latest trading haul, so I'm currently drinking a Beacon IPA from Lighthouse Brewing in Victoria. Its in the English style, but with a bit of a Pacific North-West twist. I'm getting orange pith, big toasty malts, earth and fruit. Its really quite well done, and the sort of beer thats nice to have in the fridge as a counterpoint to more aggressive brews (kind of lke an Anchor Steam or a Rogue Dead Guy). If I have one after this I think I'll have the Keeper's Stout from the same brewery.

Quite a Brown Ale night for me, fresh Muskoka Organic Dark and probably freshish Corporal Punishment (Corporal's Bitter Brown is the pussy LCBO name for it, so I prefer to stay true to the old name). Two completely different interpretations of the same style, and both are delicious in my view. The Corporal is of course so damn hoppy and bitter, where as the Muskoka is very sweet and roasty malt driven, almost more of a Porter than simple Brown Ale.

+ 2 of the 2004 Orval.

Next up to bat is a Victory Storm King which I purchased directly from the brewery on a business trip in November.

After this is a "enjoy by Jan 03 11" vintage Victory Storm King.

Wow wee fantasic.

OK I know I'm a snob. But don't fault me for palnning ahead......

I too have my last July 2004 Orval in the coolbox right now, staring at me.... great timing.

Sure got used to drinking Orval a lot on the Xmas cruise (plus Franziskaner & Celebrator.)

So I'll be happy as a fuzzy long-eared rodent to buy more.
