none. i wanted a good IPA so i bought a case of DFH 60. That should do it. Now if there was an Ontario IPA of the same quality i'd be supporting that and wouldn't mind spending $60 on the case like i did for the DFH.

Heading to Beaus after work this afternoon, as they apparently have bottles of both Beaver River IPeH and Screaming Beaver DIPA for sale.
Close to Homerism.

seriously.

I also have a Grand River Russian Gun in the fridge I'll have on the rainy day. For such a beer starved-no good beer province, thats not a bad trifecta of Ontario brews to have in my possesion.

Creemore Keller, might pick up some Flying Monkey too.

BTW Queef, in the Beau's thread cfrancis said he managed to charm some Vrienden out of the Beau's folks when he was there.

I have some Galt Knife coming to me in a keg this afternoon.
I have two bottles of Hannenberg Pils for a photo shoot that will have to be consumed as part of the post processing stage. :D
I also have some homebrew waiting to be kegged just in case the Galt Knife runs out.

After three straight days of drinking great Ontario beers on tap, its looking like a weekend of bottles at friends' places. Not Ontario, but here's what I'll be taking to share this weekend:

Cantillon St-Gillesoise
AMB Cuvee Dep de la Rive
Meantime Coffee
Derniere Volonte Pinot-Noir Barrel Aged
Southern Tier Gemini
Green Flash Le Freak

On a related note, I'm taking a long weekend next week too, and will be carting a whole lot of Creemore Keller up North to share with my father-in-law and brother-in-law. 'Tis a gradual conversion...
