Trois Mouquetaires Pale Ale - I would say this is boardering on BPA territory.

I met up with Chris (Chalmers) today for lunch at the Saint John Ale House. Had a great chat about beers, brewing, etc. Chris was kind enough to provide me with a few samples of beer that he had in his car. Very much appreciated Chris and thanks a bunch! Looking forward to meeting up again next time you're in town! :cheers:

So this is what I'll be drinking tonight. :headbang:

I had some of HPhunter's Red Ale and now I'm drinking Sleepyjamie's (who's in Cuba, bastard...) Black IPA. We split a 10 gallon batch of this, fermented seperately with different yeast and dry hopped differently.

His used WYeast 1056 and dry hopped with Columbus and Amarillo, mine used a Nottingham yeast cake and dry hopped with Amarillo. They both finished at 1.014. His tastes roastier, mine tastes hoppier; interesting results. I love the taste of the Black Prinz and wish mine had more of that flavour! Both beers taste great.

Drinking a Brooklyn East India IPA. Great English IPA. :headbang:
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

We're tipping down a growler of the newest take on the Fathom IPA. Yum. The Citra gives it a good nose and the Simcoe a nice bite. Well done Greg.

Oatmeal stout to unwind after work ... Garrison Schwarz at the moment ... probably some ESB while watching the Mooseheads on Sportsnet!

Nope, Aramis. I've never run into these hops before so I decided to grab a bottle. Very similar to NS though it seems. It's a defendant of French Strisselspalt hops.
