FUCK

Just passed by this location an hour ago.

I picked up a 12 pack of this old stand by for tonight. I am making pulled pork, and have some friends coming over for meat and metal. I told them that they all need to bring a 6 pack more than they plan to drink, and that whatever beer they bring has to be darker than my piss. Hopefully I will have a variety of fine brews in my fridge by the end of the night.

Favourite of mine as well, but boy did I feel like an idiot everytime I picked up a 6-pack for that price knowing what it goes for across the border.

WELLS IPA

..mehhhh

I was given one of those by a friend at work who knew i loved IPA's and because i gave him a couple of sweet ass IPA's from the States (Flower Power and Great Divide). He meant well.

What a piece of shit the Well's IPA is.

ITs about as convincing an IPA as Alexander Keiths. I dont mind it though.

I grabbed a 4 pack of BCBS, courtesy of some grievance pay from work

I don't make decisions for you! I just influence them apparently.

Nice haul. I really wanna get some more of that Karmeliet, but I think it's sold out around here. How does that Peche taste anyhow? Never had a chance to try it yet.

Ya, not very good at all.

Wells I'm glad I've never had it.

Creemore Springs

really on a mediocre beer kick these days, it seems

I wish I was trying this porter.

The Peche Mortel is excellent. It's an Imperial Coffee Stout and one of, if not the best, you'll find it the LCBO. Other than the Nogne O that was around last year (but not this year, FUCK! Still got one bottle though )

I had one last night and with even a hard pour, it poured quite dead. There was really no head on it at all which is not what i remember from last year. It still tasted exceptional, but i expect it to get even more interesting with a bit of age.

Fuck, I've gotta get on that Peche then.

Well, I bought like 8 of them in total so, I've had a few.

After having the Flying Monkey's BNL Imperial Chocolate Stout, it gave me a few ideas to try out for homebrewing. Cocoa nibs

So I ran to the LCBO yesterday and scored a pretty wicked find.

A single bottle of this. The bottle I have has a different label on it because LCBO wouldn't let the beer in because of this label saying Elixir on it and Elixir relates to medicine.


Then got a Beau's 4 pack mixer.

Belgian Pale Ale
Screamin' Beaver DIPA
Patio Saison
Matt's Sleepy Time Imperial Belgian Stout.

What is this? And by whom?

Worst product I've had from the brewer or the ipa category.

You read my mind. I'm not sure whether we have to go as far as getting Ecuadorian Cocoa Nibs, lol.

It's been about two years since I've had this one. Back then it was the last bottle on the shelf and there was sediment at the bottom. The sediment was so overpowering last year that when I opened it this year I poured out the last little bit just in case. Didn't appear to have as much as I remember. It was what it was. A blackberry porter. It matched the viscosity of a porter. The front end was blackberry, but the aftertaste was more of a bitter blackberry skin/peel taste. It would have been better with higher alcohol content. It wasn't too sweet or too fruity like one may have expected. I could see this being turned into a very interesting blackberry imperial stout. No joke. It would work.

Nevermind

Railway City Honey Elixir. Did an image search. I'm going to pass on this one. That brewery is just bad.

Cool label, too bad they had to get too bad they had to change it, because it at least had that going for it, coming from Railway City. Let me know how it is though.

I am really curious about the Beau's, though!

Honey Bee'Lixir by Railway City Brewing (Small Batch) It's brewed with 22 pounds of Local Honey.

Here is my bottle's label(it is printed on the bottle)

It all makes sense because we do get Railway City Brewing brews occasionally.

Took me awhile to post back but yup, that is it. I will let you know how the Beau's are. I've never had a Saison before so this should be interesting.
