What are YOU going to be drinking on Canada day?

Me: Propeller Porter & Propeller ESB

I've got a tub can of Tiverton Bear Honey Brown lined up, that I had to go to great lengths to procure. I'm not entirely sure why I hunt down these stupid tub cans. I guess I want to experience the crap before it's gone forever.

Hey! Are those from the current R+R order? I've been waiting on word about my cases of those two. So I'd LIKE to be sucking down those two tomorrow but alas...

As for what else I'll be drinking, time for a fridge check...

I'll be popping open a bottle of Unibroue 11, and then see how it goes from there.

lister:

i am taking a short 4 month art (i am a photographer and printmaking artist) sting in Halifax and just happen to live a block away from the Propeller brewery. If you would like before I leave I plan on doing a mass order of east-coasty beers for all you beer geeks!

Jesse: Having ploughed through all of the steelbacks..... i understand.

I'll be at the Ginger Man in New York and drinking several of their phenomenal draughts from around the U.S. and the world...and probably have a pizza at Waldy's on 6th.

Sadly, I'm starting a month of zero beer consumption. (Damn this diet.) So I'll be drinking...water.

Getting together with friends, so we'll be sharing, but the list includes:

Avery 14th Anniversary Ale
Siletz Red Ale
Thirsty Dog Old Leghumper Porter
Atwater Block Vanilla Bean Porter

Not very Canadian, but after a recent trip to Wisconsin, I'll be sharing:

Tyranena's Devil Over a Barrel (#1 porter on BA)
Lake Louie's Reserve Scotch Ale (#1 scotch on BA)
Central Waters Brewhouse Coffee Stout (#2 American Stout on BA)

Maybe I'll throw in something Canadian...

Should be a good tasting!

Southern Tier IPA.

Oh how I wish I were drinking Arrogant Bastard. It's been far too long.

If you're going to do 'the month without drinking' thing to prove you can or for whatever insane reason you need, always do February.

pretty good day, with a bit of brewing and sampling:

boulevard double wide ipa
ithica old habit
new glarus dancing man wheat
new glarus unplugged smoke on the porter
lake louie warped speed scotch ale
lake louie louie's reserve scotch ale
dogfish head palo santo marron
grand river hannenberg pils

had a few more in the fridge (including some tyranena devil made me do it and devil over a barrel), but it's been a long weekend with many beers...

Trailhead Lager
Denison's Weissebier
Cameron's Auburn Ale

and Molson Canadian. Ugh. The only two choices at Ribfest were Coors Light and Canadian. When we were in line it got announced that Coors Light was left so a large group of people headed off to the other tent. Damn, there are a number of beers I would have loved to have with my two pulled pork sandwiches. *sigh*

Molson Canadian

Richmond Hill's Canada Day celebrations were sadly lacking, in all aspects save the fireworks show.

What did you think of the warped speed & reserve back-to-back? I loved the warped speed when I had it last year, but the reserve was a bit of a let-down. Mine (from Nov '07) unfortunately had some grainy astringency.

Similarly, I thought the "Devil made me do it" was actually better than the devil over a barrel. Hopefully the rare-hype will make for a couple of decent trades.
