A really good-tasting Peroni Nastro Azzurro, 2 months from canning per the best-by date.

Super-fresh, with a taste of fresh grains, cream and some noticeable European noble hops (the kind I like, not too barnyard/loamy). These cans, even within a certain age range, are never quite the same batch to batch in my estimation. Some cannings hit a superlative note and this one does. I wonder if this season's malt might be a factor.

Try it, it's stamped 07/12 R on the base.

Hockley Stout. Delicious! Now what should the next stout I drink be? Should have brought more back from the states.

Hopworks Organic Rise-Up Red. Proof that organic doesn't have to suck.

Well, I SHOULD have stopped at two bottles of Harvest Ale and I SHOULD NOT have opened a bottle of St. Ambroise Scotch Ale...

...but here we all are...me drunk...and you having to deal with me...

Don't worry, after the Twenty Pounder I decided it would be a good idea to open the Weihenstephaner Hefe I had sitting around. Now I'm hiccuping.

Drinking a fresh can of Heady Topper purchased from the new Alchemist brewery that just opened today. Man is this stuff ever good.
As a sad note pretty much the entire town of Waterbury Vermont got flooded out due to the recent hurricane that passed through, including the Alchemist pub, they were tearing the wood flooring out as we were passing through today. I have never seen such devastation in my life.
