Thornbridge Jaipur IPA with Nelson Sauvin, this is very delicious stuff & I'm surprised there's not more towelhead chatter on here about it.

Not hugely bitter, more of a session deal and you can REALLY taste the Nelson hops goin on... nice!

Do you mean the Kipling South Pacific Pale Ale? If so then there has definitely been some chatter, and the beer is a winner!

Having the Phillips ginger beer right now, nice ginger bite!

And stay away from that sweet ginger cocktail beer that's also around...

Really fresh bottle of Cantillon's Iris. Lovely beer for a warm day.

Tried one of each out of the Muskoka Survival Pack, the Cream isn't bad but I think I'd rather have the Lager in there. The Kristalweizen was great, and the Mad Tom was as good as ever. The Dark is a standout for the style in the province.

Grabbed a sixer of Paddock Wood's 606 IPA as well, dated mid-April. Much better than when I had it a couple years ago (was definitely an off bottle then) but I found it to be about on par with Hoptical Illusion in terms of bitterness and aromatic qualities.

A growler of Weyerbacher Double Simcoe picked up at Premiere Gourmet's new location on the way home from Gettysburg.

One of the best Imperial IPA's I've ever tasted.

Old Rasputin and Seagram's Cider (new product out of Waterloo), 50/50 for a superb Black Velvet - potent though.
