I took a nice little trip to Marche Jovi. Monseigneur D'Esgly, Joesph Bellarmin from Microbrasserie d'Orleans, DDC L'Aphrodisiaque, Unibroue Raftman and Don De Dieu and Les Trois Mousquetaires Porter Baltique. I'm excited for this. Looking forward to more if I get a chance to run by another market.


Kingston and Ottawa provided Beau's. Which is just fantastic.

This tour has been pretty awesome so far.


cheese,

Had a few Peche Mortel tonight...you really don't get how good it truly is after just one...possibly the greatest beer to ever grace the LC shelves.

Marin White Knuckle DIPA... it's pretty bold.
I picked up a quart bottle of the Estate when I was in Michigan, I'm anxious to get into it.

Erdinger Weissbier Dunkel. I like all the flavours there (some chocolate, dark fruit, toffee, some spice), but I want more of them. I seem to recall that being my main argument with their regular weissbier too; good taste but not enough of it.

With all those stickies, this thread dropped to the second page! Can't let that happen...

Currently enjoying the first bottle of my wet-hopped Imperialish stout. Not exactly as I envisioned it (the wet cascades aren't overly citrusy), but my god am I lovin' it! It goes down WAY to easy for something over 9%. :D

I'll trade ya a bottle of homebrewed Manitoban Bitter for some!

Today's been a long one, and I was at work by 6:20 this morning. I've unwound with a bottle of sake we brought back from Japan, a peche mortel and a number 9 IPA. The number 9 may be a quasi-IPA, but it drinks so damn smooth. This is one of my favourite Ontario beers, and while its different bottled compared to tapped I still find that it knocks most other local brews out of the park.

Unwinding after a typically long day myself, 5:30 swim practice (*not complaining), had a St. Andrew's Ale and an Affligem Dubbel. Both solid beers though I guess in this state I'm not too picky.

If you're ever down for a trade Rob I'd love to try some #9 as I likely won't be stopping in Toronto for a while.

No cask days, Jesse? Its a cheap bus ride in from K-W and there should still be a lot of good stuff left over on Sunday. I could probably get you a few bottles easy enough - I work in the brubs, and the only benefit is the proximity to releases by Duggan and Black Oak.

Peche Mortel- It is very very good.

Fumistere- What a disappointment. A colossal waste of time considering who brews this. Booooooooooooo!

Got to agree on this one. Did you get it in the mixed 12? I find that mix pack to be decent, but there's so many other better beers from DDC that they could advertise with.

Yeah, I got it in the mixed 12. The Fumistere and the Paienne are just brutal. I scored them both around the 2.5 mark on RB, and I think I was feeling quite generous.
