We're currently getting 3 shipments a year of Landlord here in Alberta. Arrives about 4 to 6 weeks old, so as fresh as it can possibly be. Such a lovely drop. Hope to see more of their range make it over.

Last night at home:
Maine Beer Co. Peeper Ale - beautifully bright, hoppy, and quenching brew; paler and more tropical than your typical APA.
Sly Fox Route 113 India Pale Ale - just okay; drank more like an EPA (appley, grassy-earthy, and floral) than a US IPA despite being relatively fresh.

Right now at Bar Hop
Nickel Brook pissed off Pete's pumpkin porter

Sartorial harvest... Not bad, but not what it use to be.

Ten Fidy... I may just go buy the remaining stock.

Nice, how's it tasting? Still have a couple on the shelf, far more of the 08

Been mostly sticking to ginger beers this week, as I'm battling a cold.
The Harvey & Vern stuff from Kichesippi has a nice bite to it.

its drinking very well. very close to still but still some minimal carbonation. the aroma is massive aged out malts. the flavour has mellowed out compared to how it was when young, not as big as the aroma but still very full for a beer thats 7 years old.

i still have 1 - 2006, 2 - 2007, and 2 - 2008 and im not in a rush to drink them but i think that my sweet spot with this beer is right around 2 years.
hopefully we see this brewed again soon:

Victory Festbier, an incredible Oktoberfest/Maertzen that's hard to describe and another good reason why we need the brewer here.

Firestone Walker Oaktoberfest, no regrets picking these up either and has a much harder lager 'edge' than the smoother, almost ale-like Victory. Completely different!

2010 dogfish world wide stout. Amazing stuff. My first time having it, not as cloying as I expected.

Last night:

Heady Topper
Sip of Sunshine
Double Dose IPA
Houblon Chouffe
NB Wet Hop Pale Ale
PC IPA (this was horrible)

All good except the PC beer. Preferred Sip of Sunshine to Heady.
