I just hope you're not a leafs fan, cause no one takes them seriously.
Haha, agreed, and no, I'm not. It's not even that I dislike the Sens either; to be truthful, I just don't like Spezza. When he's gone they'll be fine I suppose. Unfortunately, I cheer for the Oilers. At least we have some hopeful prospects.
I actually don't mind having fruit attached to the glass when I'm served a pint. Not because it enhances the flavour, but because interesting garnishes typically spark the attention of observers and makes them more likely to try a (craft) beer they might otherwise pass over for something more genaric from a macro. So if a KLB raspberry wheat beer say, was served with a skewred raspberry and mint leaf garnish it would likely attract the attention of some people who might otherwise not try the beer. If such is the case and I think it is, at least slightly, I have no qualms with a piece of fruit riding shotgun on my rim, as long as it doesn't up the price of the pint that is.
I don't always drink beer ... because sometimes my friends win and we have to go to macro-only establishments.

The fact that my "old" Mad Toms, Crazy Canucks, Red Racers, Miami Weiss's, and Tree HopHeads are still hoppy as hell while drinking a bottled Smashbomb is like trying to win the hops lottery speaks for itself.

I just started into my first home brew and had been stock piling my empties of Mad Tom. Now that I'm closing in on bottling day I have a very logical reason to buy 24's of it; purely for empties I'm going to tell the wife it's like an investment.
I've been drinking Mad Tom all summer..and now into winter...I was very happy that my local beer store decided to keep restocking their supply..and Muskoka just kept on making it.....think it's close to Tree Hop Head and Phillips Hop Circle and it's easier to get and cheaper
I like Super Collider and Smashbomb too...but my local LCBO is useless, the beer store stocks Black Oak as well..so in a pinch..I'm happy.
Had Super Collider on tap at Volo just after New Years...wasn't much left by the time I turned up....what was left I drank..

yeah - the labels come off pretty beautifully. If you're able to get the Harvest Ale those are great for bottling too...I've got some empties of DCCS, not sure if they come off as easily as the others.
Happy bottling!

a dig at the martini traditionalists!) but I don't like attached fruit to the glass.
