I love Aphrodisiaque I had a bottle of it Tuesday Night, Péché Mortel from the same brewery is really good too. I live in Eastern Ontario so it is a pretty quick trip to Quebec to find a store that carries their beers. Which reminds me I think I might head over there on Friday to pick up some things. I have a cousin who lives like 20 minutes from their microbrewery too, I think I need to go visit him soon.0 -

Part of my thing is that I don't enjoy IPAs, which I know is their forte. So my judgment doesn't take those into account. I enjoy the Punkin' Ale quite a bit, and like the Raison D'etre. But sometimes they seem to be trying too hard to make things happen. I can tolerate beers like the ImmortAle, but I prefer more than just tolerating a beer that cost a (relative) ass-load of money.
I am sort of the same way. I love trying new beers but I am totally not a fan of the super hoppy American IPA's. I have sort of gotten to the point where even though there are a ton of these beers that get great ratings and reviews, but I know they are not really my cup of tea so I usually look for something else, since I can usually find other really good stuff I like.0 -

If this thread has gone 5 pages, and no one has mentioned Innis & Gunn, we should all be ashamed of ourselves.0

Thread revival. Getting ready to crack open a Palo Santo Marron from Dogfish Head. Depending on how I feel, I may end up cracking open a bomber of Oak Aged Yeti from Great Divide as well. Good times.
Here's a shot of a few bombers I picked up this week:

had pliny the elder once, it was good but I feel it was overrated when I tried it. Founders breakfast stout is one of the best beers ever made0 -
Picked up a case of a Founders Variety Pack yesterday at the local distributor. Includes a 4 pack of their Red Rye, Double Trouble, Centennial IPA, Porter, Dirty Bastard, and their Pale Ale. All for $45... thought it was a very reasonable price.
To make room for some of that in my fridge, I finally cracked open a bomber of Arrogant Bastard that I had in my fridge... wasn't really impressed. But I'm not a huge hop head, so that may be why."If you love someone, set them free... if someone loves you, don't fuck up" - EV0 -

That sounds like a nice mixed case.

Hoping to get in a keg of Firestone Walker's Double Jack Imperial IPA today. Think there may be only one other place in the state to get it.0

Small world - I could do a lot of damage to my wallet in that place! Yea, the Edmund Fitzgerald and Founder's Porter, are probably my top two porters that I've tried so far."If you love someone, set them free... if someone loves you, don't fuck up" - EV0 -
