I don't always drink beer ... because sometimes my friends win and we have to go to macro-only establishments.

Sawdust City Long Dark Voyage to Uranus

Wow! 650 ml of 9% goodness. A challenge by yourself after having had some other treats during the day.

Pours like used motor oil - and I say that in a positive, most complimentary way.

They had a version of that at the Roundhouse festival over the weekend that was aged on raspberries.

They called it the Bloody Long Dark Voyage. :o

Yeah I'm not sure why they pulled out of the Ontario retail market, but it's great to have their beers available locally when I get a hop craving. The funny thing is some of the bottles are months old and yet they still taste bright and hoppy. My guess is that bb's fridge is set at ideal cellar temp and probably has LED lighting as well.
