Small Town Not Your Father's Root Beer (5.9%)

It tastes good, but is this even beer?

NB Headstock IPA, Castro's lounge in the beach. Delicious hoppy fruity taste and amazing texture on tap here, good fresh draft on clean lines. When it's perfect Headstock is a wonderful drop.

Yep......gonna have to stop drinking over-priced(for the most part)ontario beer and stick to the more realistically priced stuff.

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale (not bad, but not really cutting it for me either… I would say it's not a re-buy for me if Stone IPA ever gets here, I will pay decent coin for that fresh.)

The RR ISA worked for you? I found it pretty boring...... That being said I drank it at about midnight on a cool evening.

Nickel Brook Naughty Neighbor, an extremely fine canned APA.
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, I like it a little better drank not as cold.

Goose IPA.
Oast House barrel aged Hefeweizen (yes, it tastes of white wine and spicy barrel oak.) - Thirsty & Miz.

Last night at the Goose Island Migration Week event at Banknote Bar:
Goose Island Bourbon County Stout (draft)
Goose Island The Ogden (draft)
Goose Island Bourbon County Barleywine (draft)
Goose Island Goose IPA (draft)

Right now:
Coffee

Side Launch Wheat
Muskoka Summerweiss

Back to back, fresh cans. I enjoyed both but I'd say Side Launch retains the title with a softer mouthfeel, more intense flavours and a longer finish. Muskoka's also has a bit of a bitterness to it which I'd rather it didn't.
