No, but the commercial says he likes it a lot!

Speaking of amazing IPA the Red Racer at Cooper Street is showing a July 10 canning date - it's still insanely fresh for at least a few hours.

I'm drinking Weissbier with just this great bread- Pan Chancho half-sourdough/half-rye loaf + Filsingers apple butter.

Will have to check that one out this week.

Currently having a bottle of Smashbomb that is just blowing my mind. I can't remember the last time I had a SB that tasted this good, either on tap or in the bottle. So fresh and juicy and tons of aroma, one of the better IPAs I've had in a long time. Sad thing is this is the second six pack I've had of this bottling date (JUN/27/2012) but the first sixer was a big letdown. I'm now afraid this is the only good bottle and I want it to last forever.

It's "ok". It's what I usually choose at a restaurant that only carries the Labatt's line-up.

2008 Orval, still great but a little past it's peak, has a bb date of 03/09/2013. Stills lots of great barnyard aroma, but seems a bit thinner and aftertaste is like an extremely dry wine

At the Thirsty:

Cheshire Valley Citra - didn't really like it.
DDC Peche Mortel - good brew & I actually really like it bottle-conditioned and aged a while.
