What's everyone drinking?

[jeffsmith]

Congrats!

[Keith]

Congrats John. I think that calls for a growler of something local!

[GuingesRock]

Kathleen say's that's HUGE, I put that in upper case because she yelled "that's huge" a few times, she's been through it. I had to ask her because I haven't done that (her thesis was on ubiquinone LOL). What was the thesis on?

Congratulations.



ps. tell me it was beer related (everything is)

[John G]

Thanks guys. It was huge for me - I did it part time while working full time and so it took me nearly a decade, although the writeup was mostly in 2014.
It's on lobster physiology. Just the viva left before I get to wear the funny hat.

You figure out a way not to make your house stink for 2 days after you cook them?

[Keith]

steve that's simple. Cook em outside lol.

[GAM]

John and Jon will have to tell us all about lobsters over a beer some time.

As my Dr. friend says, you found the speck of dust at the back of the drawer.

Very smooth, great nose. Not surprising, really. I love their stuff.

I'm not big on bitterness, so I'm really loving Red Racer's ESB. It's big on hop aromatics without the bitterness. You can get it at Bishop's Cellar and Premiere.

I went to Halifax today and got a six pack of this at Premiere ($20). Thanks for the tip off. I'm not a big fan but Kathleen really likes it, so she can have the rest of them, although I might have another just to learn how a good ESB tastes.

I figure every time I go to Halifax I'll pick up another beer from the favorite commercial beer thread and learn em. Like Sandy says, he's dedicating the new year to research.

Found this gem during my last trip to Montreal, not familiar with the brewery but it is a tasty Flanders Red.

Rode Vlaanderen - Brasserie Schoune

Another interesting sour from an unknown Quebec brewery (unknown to me), dangerous easy drinking and crisp for an 8% ABV beer.

Vent D'Anges - Le Broadway in Shawinigan, QC.

I just had a Duchesse De Bourgogne and it blew my mind. I haven't had much exposure to sours but I think I'm going to seek them out more often. I see a dusty, infected carboy of deliciousness in my future.

Drinking a fly time IPA from Propeller. Glad I only grabbed 1 liter. Not sure I'd want anymore than that.

That's right. Still think it's their best hoppy beer I've ever had, but it needs to finish dryer.

[Keith]

I found it plenty dry. Just a harsh bitterness I didn't really love.
those hops would have been better used on a later addition.

[Celiacbrew]

Watching the pats pull off a comeback, drinking a citra rye ale.

Finally! "Better late than never" makes sense. Never could get to grips with that one. Perhaps that phrase should be re-written "better late than ever."

Mike, you have your computer the wrong way up, just sayin ...either that or I do.

Try control alt and down arrow ...should fix it.

[Highland Brewer]

I'm enjoying few Galaxy SMASH IPAs and brewing up a Smoked Porter. Smells Amazing! Better than amazing actually. Really can't believe this beer isn't more popular.

Sorry, if anyone did that and turned their screen upside down, ctrl + alt + up arrow will turn it the right way again.

Time to resurface...

One of my favs to celebrate finally submitting my thesis.

What did you find wrong with it? He said too sweet, I said too bitter.

[CorneliusAlphonse]

I had a 1L and quite enjoyed it. But I only had about 200ml (it wasn't mine)

[chalmers]

Didn't meld well. Green hops and almost cleaner flavour, very bitter.
