Lucky for me, it is my day off. The wintery weather inspired me to dig into the cellar and do a Quad day, to keep me warm between bouts of shoveling snow. Luckily, I have a fairly good stock in the cellar. I had....
St Bernardus Abt 12
Rochefort 10
Dieu de Ciel Rigor Mortis Abt
Koningshoeven Quadrupel
Tough to pick a favorite, but the Rigor Mortis, which I have always really enjoyed, seemed a bit rough around the edges when drunk in a flight with the trappist beers, something I'd never done before.
A good beer day, all in all!

Just finished a bottle of grand river imperial stout I picked up on my walk home from work--I'm not much of a stout drinker...yet it is still lingering pleasantly in my head. I had one of their beers on tap at my local (Chauncy's) last week after an ultimate game, can't quite remember what it was - it was not Galt Knife, was darker...under 4% and soooo satisfying I almost fell off my bar stool. I live in London with family in Toronto - I will try to make Grand River in Cambridge my half-way pit stop next time around. Have visited Great Lakes and Black Oak on a recent visit to TO, so many craft breweries in Southern Ontario, so little time....we are a very lucky generation--thank you to all in the craft beer industry who continue to make every season in Ontario simply awesome.

Does that mean it's for sale at the brewery?? I'll have to get the girlfriend to swing by on her way home if that's the case! Haven't had the chance to try it previously.matt7215 wrote:2011 Grand River Curmudgeon IPA
That's assuming I can heal enough to dig out her car for a second time after the prick next door buried it all over again while shoveling the sidewalk. Going to need a big beer to get over that rage-inducing moment! Think I'll crack open the Baltic Porter from the Garrison release. It'll be my first beer in a week thanks to an awful cold.

Last night at C'est What: Black Oak DubChocCherry Stout (draught), Grand River Curmudgeon (cask), Flying Monkeys Netherworld (draught). All in fine form. I get a bit more sour cherry in this year's stout. This year's Curmudge seems a shade darker to my memory, and with perhaps a firmer hop presence. The Netherworld, as always, is a joy.
Today, mint tea, ginger tea, tea with lemon, water, trying to battle this cold.
