A Maudite, then gonna hit a growler of Black Creek's Fresh Hop Pale Ale with a buddy of mine, picked one up straight from the brewery today. Filled today as well, stuff should be fresh.

Let us know how it is - thinking of cycling up there tomorrow for a growler or two.

Laker Lager- because I am a student on a budget after all, and it is actually decent for what it is.

Laker Light- because I am also a student ticker on a budget (one of the only Brick things I haven't had)

Muskoka Harvest Ale- because it's f***ing awesome and I want to move to Bracebridge.

Not worth the trip, I only made it 'cause I'm at York. Growler was presumably filled from the cask - hissed upon opening but poured dead flat. Really bready, doughy and sugary aroma, a bit of graham cracker/animal cracker (?) type thing going on that had me thinking of the Barley Days Harvest Gold. Very mild hopping in the aroma and flavour with a weird/interesting dank and bitter finish. Underwhelming with not enough hop flavour. Meh.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm not enough of a ticker to have to make the trek there. Too bad, really, as I quite like the bottled BC products that have made it to the LC (and I'm anxiously awaiting the stout). If the weather's nice tomorrow, I might just head up that way regardless, just for something to do. We'll see...

Mikkeller I Beat yoU. It punched me in the face, stole my lunch money and made me cry like a little girl.

A great beer. But you CANNOT be ok with the price gouge on that beer.

Had a Leffe Brune before the Pearl Jam show, couple cans of Canadian at the show, then a Boneshaker & Spearhead to cap off a great night of music!
