posh beers and ales and stuff thread

Small batch. Brewed with Love.

lol good name

how was it bagger?

It looks delicious. Like motor oil.

If you like stouts, try this one sometime if you can find it. Barrel aged "norse ale" (it's stout, whatever) lol. It's in my top 5 beers.

It was excellent! I suppose we're a bit biased because we made it. I'm gonna hit up the norse ale first chance I get.

my cousin made these cool beer openers with a really strong magnet embedded in the back of the wood, i really enjoy using it and displaying my caps

So watmm beer aficionados. What beer do I need to avoid and what beer to seek out in Canada?

Moose Rider IPA? Salmon Trapper Stout? Beavers Winkle Best Bitter?

lol I'll get back to you asap

On that note, is anyone else here interested in collecting caps? I have a deep photo frame on the wall filled with caps, I almost have enough to fill the second one but I've apparently drunk every drink there is to drink in this area with a vaguely interesting cap. Got lots of doubles for swappin', mostly Ontario/upstate NY but also some Eurobooze, anyone fancy a swap by post?

molson lol

pls no

I've whizzed through the Beer Advocate top 100 Canadian beers, most of them seem pretty strong (7.5% and above) which is fine but not when I need to sink a few.

I guess I'm looking for the Canadian version of Australia's Coopers Pale ale (4.6) and Sparkling Ale (5.6). Excellent beer and not too difficult to find. I'm sure I'll find out when I land there sometime today.

Most of the good beers in Canada come from either Quebec or BC beerboss!

From QC they will emulate belgian, german beers + trappist ales. More of the hoppy brews come from BC.

I'm not sure you'll find a session ale like you're looking for (my understanding of "session ale" being a beer you can drink all night).

Canada's output seems more geared to having one of several diff kinds all night.

Chengod should speak up though, he's an aficionado whereas I'm just a drunkard. heh =)

Gotcha, thanks for the info Stephen

I like the idea of collecting caps, but I already have too much stuff on my walls

Expensive as hell, but so so good.

 

Yes indeedly doodly, one of my favourite stouts.

 

I've never tried this. It's on my radar now though, looking to see if I can order it from zyn.

 

My beer friend says these age really well, probably gonna get a pack and save them for winter

Been drinking some beautiful sours recently. Such a good summer beer.

yeah i was big on ciders for a long time but all the sugar got to me and i laid off of them for a good long while. however, i recently found a good one called argus i think? it's very tart, not too sweet at all. also enjoying a fair number of sours because, yeah, they're good and refreshing when it's hot out and in georgia it's always hot out

My all-time favorite beer. I own the hoodie. I haven't been drinking much lately but I'd guzzle one of these down any day.

From your neck of the woods, phillips brewery has a nice sour out.

I believe it's their "Pucker Sucker"

I've been drinking this bad boy:

but unfortunately that run is coming to an end. Luckily the same brewery is coming out with another sour soon (was talking with the owner at some "artisan market" bullshit) - can't wait.

Will keep my eyes open for the Phillips one though, cheers.

mmm!! Plum Sour!

3 liquor stores apparently carry a few bottles in Calgary, I'm on the hunt for them now      

Good luck, it's worth it - they're out of stock at the brewery even now - so sad.

The new sour from this brewery will apparently be called "Rae" (spelling might be "Ray"?) so you should ask your favourite liquor store to order some in for you ;)
