During the Jays Game and election:

33 Acres of Ocean
Yellow Dog Alpha Dog
Fremont Cowiche Canyon Citra and Simcoe

I figured a fresh (relatively) government deserved some fresh hops. The Fremont was exceptional.

A couple of Collingwood Downhill Pale Ale after my hockey game tonight - thank you teammate Rob.

At home, had a Double Trouble Revenge of the Ginger Red IPA, and now a KLB Raspberry Wheat Ale. Really like both of these.

Golden beach pale ale. This is really nice.... Love the hop bill on this. I only wish it had been available in the summer

Last night while watching a great, if disappointing ball game:

Blood Brothers Hail Saison: Heavily oxidized, but the honeydew mellon was really nice on this. I'd love to try it again fresh (My bottle was about three weeks old).
Collingwood Saison: unremarkable.

Drinking the bottle of camerons rye pale ale that came in their mix pack. It is amazing. I cant seem to find this stuff fresh at the lcbo regularly. If this was available fresh in tall cans I would be a happy man.

They started with bombers, switched to 6 packs, and are now back to bombers?

Big Rig Pumpkin Porter, available in cans from the brewpub. It's quite good. I get tired of pumpkin beers pretty quickly around this time of year but I will enjoy this one while it's out.

Just moved into a new apartment right down the road from Great Lakes. Picked up some Thrust and Apocalypse Much Later, both were excellent. Also found Shillow Bitter Waitress and Big Rig Release the Hounds black IPAs at the local liquor store. A great area for beer!

Also drinking the Muskoka Moonlight Kettle Mosaic Single Hop Pale Ale. Not bad at all.
