Les Trois Mousquetaires Extreme Series Weizenbock. Man, this is a seriously serious beer. Big big flavour, loads of licquorice, molasses, treacle, dark chocolate and sweet malt.

One bad ass beer my friend.

Short's Key Lime Pie on cask at Hopcat..... I am stunned, not my normal hop bomb, but this is really nice beer. The waitress brought it over un-requested as part of Hopcats "Sunday night Short's Rare Cask" offering. The lime and even the graham cracker/marshmallow flavour is really pronounced in there. Who knew? If you haven't been to Grand Rapids.....go.
Went to an outside camping type event for Saturday day/night. I brought a 6 pack of 10 Bitter Years, 6 pack of Duggan's #9, a growler of Duggan's German Pils, Edel Weisse, 2 St Ambroise Oatmeal Stouts, Peche Mortel, Green Flash Barley Wine, Green Flash Imperial IPA, Smuttynose Quad, BrewDog/Stone Bashah, and BrewDog/Mikkeller Divine Rebel. Needless to say, I had an awesome time. I saved the Peche Mortel for this morning to drink with breakfast.
Yesterday, a Gouden Carolus Hopsinjoor and some Big Rock Livingston Lager, the latter at Heritage Park in Calgary (think Black Creek Brewery).
Today, some Orval and a Radler made with Lowenbrau. I usually pass up Lowenbrau, but after walking around all afternoon in massive heat at a festival, the Radler was about the best damn drink ever.

Anker Boscoulis, not too shabby, quite the punch of berry fruit. Earlier today I had one of Matt7215's Sour Brown Saisons on the back deck at sunset. Another delicious brew Matt!
