Plan to try a whole bunch of new beers from Cheshire Valley, Wellington, and Taps on the patio at Gambrinus, while rejoicing at the fact that green beer isn't available. :D

Barleywine tasting. Some rogue elements have threatened to dye the barleywines green, but I hope we can put a stop to that.

A few of us started earlier today.

So far, couple pints of Hops & Robbers, picked up some rye, gin and irish cream. The Irish Cream is finished. Currently having Tree Double HopHead, with a Mikkeller Black Hole Barrel Aged Cognac Edition on deck, going on to gin or rye after that.

As for tomorrow, decided to keep it easy and picked up some Lug Tread to retry, and Muskoka Cream Ale, but whatever is left over tonight will make an appearance. Its also a friends sons 1st birthday, plan is to party there for a bit, then drunkenly walk the streets of Downtown Kitchener/Uptown Waterloo with some traveller's and find something to do.
