Best part of my wife making a Guinness Cake? It only calls for about a third of a can. And we mustn’t waste the other two thirds. No, we mustn’t. 

I feel drunk looking at that rug.

It wasn't bad.

Nice! I don’t know that one!

I’m enjoying one from your side of the river: Lotus Noir by Brasserie du Bas Canada - les maitres de l’art brassicole!

had a Sweetwater after the game tonight and it tasted really good. But my go to beer is still the Bud Light Chelada

Is this brand still around?

A couple of interesting finds at a local shop here in Finland, Jaromir Lagr and The Pintraiser.

Here is one from the local craft brewery, picked up a few but love the name and design on the can.

Thanks brother.  Not to disappoint but I haven't been drinking much these days.  If I do its a basic Montauk Wave Chaser IPA, nothing special.  I haven't bought any fancy craft beers in a long time.  I still have a few Tree Houses in the beer fridge from last summer that I never drank.

Bank Hotel by Brasserie du Bas-Canada

American IPA

This one was a special one opened for a special occasion. Delivered to me by @Lucky Pucker

It’s an incredible beer. I had gone off a bit from IPAs as of late because of just how bad some of these breweries were balancing the notes, but this was just the right amount of fruit, tart, sour, bitter that made the whole experience pleasant. You know an IPA is good when it hides the bad character notes of a high alcohol beer. Perfect amount of head off the pour (some local ones have had over carbonation or way under lately).

Reminds me of the Sierra Nevada I had years past if I’m remembering properly, which is in my top 5.

I give it 5/5

One good Bank Hotel deserves another. 
 

Honestly, John - if the Sierra Nevada is your benchmark, there are (other) beers from Bas Canada, Wood Brothers, 5ieme Baron, Fine Balance, All My Friends, Bellwoods, and others that will blow your mind. We’ll talk some more… gotta spread the good word! Lol!

This past weekend I actually had a beer so bad that I asked for my money back. At a brewery around here. Won't say but it was their house light beer. Never have I ever not finished a beer. Until that one. Woof!

House light beer? That's asking for disappointment.
