Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

It was my first time seeing them live and it was a great show! They played for nearly three hours, with two encores that ended with Eddie smoking something donated by the crowd and finally finishing with Yellow Ledbetter. Our seats were off to the side so the sound could have been a bit better, but I wasn't complaining!Kel Varnsen wrote: How was the hamilton show? I was at Ottawa and it was amazing?

Given the opportunities I had last night, I found it prudent to sample these rare beers.
I am still buying and drinking only Ontario beer (as I did on draught last night), and will continue to do so. You can't fault me for caving, given the circumstances. I remain committed to drinking Ontario beer steadily and essentially exclusively for another 5 months. But if an opportunity comes up, I may be persuaded depending on the beer.
If you`re reading this, there`s a 15% chance you`ve got a significant drinking problem. Get it fixed, get recovered!

Last night I had ST Pumking and Lagunitas A Little Sumpin' Wild.

So don't bring one of these to London?SteelbackGuy wrote:cannondale wrote:When did they start brewing all of that stuff in Ontario Len??SteelbackGuy wrote:Last night @ Gambrinus Bistro with Cratez, Baird, Milos, Adil, Christian, Peter and the flying monkeys crew:

How was the penguin? I've wanted to try that one for a while, but to no avail....yet!
I don't always drink beer ... because sometimes my friends win and we have to go to macro-only establishments.

A wild night indeed. Also sampled the 2011 3Floyds Dark Lord RIS before Steelback came, as well as:SteelbackGuy wrote: Last night @ Gambrinus Bistro with Cratez, Baird, Milos, Adil, Christian, Peter and the Flying Monkeys crew:

BrewDog Punk IPA (bottle)
Grand River Plowman's Ale (draught)
BrewDog Hardcore IPA (bottle)
Peter - your generosity is humbling and I had an absolute blast.
Leon - thanks again for the Pumpkin Ale!
Me too! And yeah, amazing!!Kel Varnsen wrote: How was the hamilton show? I was at Ottawa and it was amazing?
And to tie it into beer, traffic was so light on the way out that I stopped out at the Hazeldean lcbo and stocked up on most of the big fall releases that hadn't made it to any of my stores yet (although most of them popped up the next day).
Epic show.
Right now having a Propeller Hefe Weizen.
If only it wasn't $56 at Beer BistroDerek wrote:Older Viscosity.
Wow.
I'm not a style Nazi, but I wouldn't call this an Imperial Stout (even less so than Grand River's Russian Gun)... but this is ONE HELL OF AN OLD ALE!
Enjoying an 1845. Mmm. Can't wait for these to get substantially restocked so I can hoard them like a bastard without remorse.

I picked it up at a grocery store (Whole Foods in San Francisco). I think it was around $12... and really worth it.Cale wrote:If only it wasn't $56 at Beer BistroDerek wrote:Older Viscosity.
