Hophead Black DIPA... a tough act to follow, so I went with an Old Rasputin (about 18 months in the cellar). Great stuff!

Sorry you feel that way!

Had to have a Mad Tom, and will be heading to either Bellwoods Brewery or Only Cafe, depending on where the forces of nature lead me... anybody else a-headin' somewheres?

My first Pugnacious Pale Ale. It's not bad but not that good either. If I'm going to spend close to $4 a bottle I'll stick with Curmudgeon IPA or even better Plowman at $3.25.

Just got in from Tequila Bookworm, where I had back to back saisons (not often you can say you've gone to a Toronto bar and had two different Ontario brewed saisons on draught in a row), those being Bellwoods Farmhouse Saison and Beau's/Trou du Diable Fous Allies Mango Saison. Both were in fine form, though served too cold. I think I preferred the Bellwoods, but certainly wouldn't hesitate to drink the Beau's/Trou again.

Had a bottle of Thornbridge South Pacific when I got home from work today. The pineapple and gooseberry (!!!) hop flavours are totally off the chain. Love it. Can't wait to crack Schneider Mein Nelson Sauvin and see how that goes in a hefe.

Wow wish I'd gone there. Bellwoods appeared hopelessly packed with a line up to the sidewalk, even though outside patio tables appeared very sparsely used. Place is kinda small...

In Lima, Peru. Nothing remotely craft here. Drank a Cusquena Malta. Guh-ross. Not because it's macro, beacause it tastes like straight malt extract.

Ran down to the Judge for a quick one and had a Wellington Arkell on cask. After all of the bold IPAs I've been drinking lately it took a few sips to become attuned to the more subtle cask session bitter, but by the end I was really enjoying it.

Looks like it's going to be a rainy weekend, but on the next nice day I'm planning to hit the Judge again to try the Grand River Blackberry Wheat that recently arrived. BTW, does anyone know if this is available in bottles at the brewery yet?

I also had a Hopfen-Weisse? (the schneider/brooklyn collaboration) this week split over 2 evenings, and I'm glad I only bought 1 of those.

BTW, has anyone tried the Schneider Mein Nelson Sauvin yet? I grabbed a bottle last week but still haven't cracked it yet.
