The Ultimate Victoria Day Two-Four

Ultimate Victoria Day Two-Four

These are generally fun to discuss. All in all, I think this has been one of the better ones put out, with the exception of the Rickards, CLIT, and possibly the Gluten-free offering.

My only other issue with this is, as great as some of the bar/restaurant offerings are, it doesn't make much sense in a list like this. You can't really add them to your 24.

This is actually a pretty impressive overview. The opening statements really talk more about good beer, experiencing it and being a little challenged (if you are not a beer geek). I would call this article a good evangelist piece, gateway list, or just good adventurous journalism. For a change.

Yeah, I really like her beer writing.

I'm glad I can get Total Eclipse for under $9 here!

But reading that makes me miss those weissbiers, even the pasteurized & exported weihenstephaner... did they mean to picture the dunkleweisse? We actually get that one in BC, but I much prefer their hefe.

Missing the Weissbiers myself, but maybe that's why I'm looking forward to the summer release a little more than most people.

I'm actually quite looking forward to Muskoka's Summer Weiss and trying their Krytal Weizen.
