Sorry to correct the correction but as the boys at BrewDog say, the correct term is "sausage muncher"

"Sausage Muncher" has a whole different connotation in the UK And it doesn't refer to them being German either.

Yesterday was a session day. I started at about 10:30 AM.

3X Wernesgruner 500 ml cans
4X FLying Monkey's Smashbomb
3X Grand River Hannenberg Pils
1X Half Pints Burlywine
1X Startford Common

... Turns out RB has it listed as an IPA, whereas it's a pale wheat ale on BA.

BA has it wrong, the original requester entered it wrong and it's never been changed.

... it's what happens when your Aunt is your Mom.

The homebrewed version was stellar.

This was very moreish; not much nose, but a real nice roast and liquorice bite and dry bitter finish. I believe they did a large enough brew to serve a single cask and bottle the rest, Oschner's 1905 Porter, which is available at the Sherbrooke liquor store.

Hopefully I can track some down, I should be in Alberta next month.

Like I say the homebrewed version was dynamite, and won all sorts of awards at various comps this year.

Stone-Mikkeller-Alesmith Belgian Style Triple Ale, very nice!

If you want me to grab you some, give me a shout, unless you can get someone else here to get some for ya.

Dieu du Ciel Équinoxe du Printemps Maple Scotch Ale
Smashbomb Cask IPA
Ola Dubh 40... a very different beer from the 12.

I feel so spoiled.... Duggan's No. 9 is tasting far richer than Southern Tier IPA... even in the fancy new packaging.

Hacker Pschorr Munchener Gold
Lech Piwo

Few bottles of Little Scrapper IPA and a fresh bottle of Old Rasputin. I really wanna age some of this but it's just too nice to allow to sit around for a year or two

Tell me how it is. I have some aging away. I am predicting the 2 year mark to be beautiful.

It's good. Grapey. chocolatey, and has an earthy-herbal presence. Not an earth shattering beer but very tasty. Would pair well with biting ants.
