Indie Alehouse - Nerf Herder

Introduced a friend to HT, Cantillon and Hill Farmstead yesterday. A decent session!

Bellwoods Brown Porter
Bellwoods Jutsu No. 2 APA

Great brew pub!

At home, in order of tastiness:
Underdogs All or Nothing Hopfenweisse - solid
Wellington Terrestrial India Brown Ale - very good
Ayinger Weizen-Bock - excellent
2009 Mikkeller Weinbrand Barrel Aged Red Ale - outstanding

Victory at sea

Le Chatelier, a sour Belgian ale from Townsite Brewing in BC.

Kronnenberg- a sample from a rep @ work. Haven't had this for years.... Much worse than I remember.

Wellington EE-II-EE-II-oh farmhouse IPA. this is really really good. Very tropical, love thT sorachi hop. Easy drinking and refreshing. I'd say this is the best Wellington product I've had

Peche mortel- outstanding

Over the last few days in London and at home:
Block Three Mo Money Mo Problems Mosaic (draft)
Black Swan Porter (sample)
Forked River Mojo Citra Rhubarb Wheat Ale (draft)
2013 Nickel Brook Old Kentucky Bastard (sample)
Beerlab Mimosa Gose (draft)
Toboggan Brewing American Pale Ale (draft)
Pilsner Urquell (can)
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale (bottle)
Orval Trappist Ale (bottle)

Smuttynose Porter, one of the best ever.

Am still dreaming about the Evil Twin stuff they have on tap at Coles/Blue Monk!

I had a few imperial Porters (one was Biscotti Break) and 2 or 3 others including the amazing Berliner Weisse with Strawberry and Olive (the berry tartness made it taste almost like Leipziger Gose). Ontario brewers - take note of an astounding Berliner if it's possible to make a super tart & flavorful one like this.

DFH WWS 2013 as well, $5.00 for a 5 oz, nice stuff.

I had that olive one too, mostly out of morbid curiosity. Easily the best olive beer I've ever had.

Princess Wears Girl Pants on tap at Indie Alehouse. Belgian Golden Ale? 9% ABV. Delicious, strong, yet not overpowering. Not as sweet as most belgians, which is a plus here, and not as malty as one would expect. Highly recommended.

Last night at Bar Hop:
OCB Collaboration Ontario Table Beer (draft)
Great Lakes Brewing Miami Weiss (draft)
Stone City Ales Hand Over Fist DIPA (draft)
Forked River Mojo Citra Rhubarb Wheat (sample)

With a delicious flank steak dinner and excellent service from Daeryun

I've really been loving this last batch of Roman Candle. It's a bit different from the first one, maybe a bit funkier. But it's very pleasing both on draft and in bottle.

I was in Guelph earlier this week and picked up a bottle of this (as well as the simultaneously-released Southern Twang BBA IPA, which I have not opened yet). I am highly inclined to agree with you. Possibly the most refreshing & drinkable 7.5% beer I've ever had, with a really nice, smooth mouthfeel. I'm not typically a big fan of Sorachi Ace hops but they work out quite well here. It's worth bringing back as a seasonal.

Had a few of the Rainhard bottles last night. Armed n Citra was my favourite of the bunch.
