A buddy of mine surprised me by doing a Great Lakes run on the weekend. So I'm drinking Robohop this week. Plus homebrew mild and porter, if I don't want something hoppy.
This weekend I'm bottling 200 L or so of cider from last fall. Most of it is funky/sour in one way or another. I'm taking home 70 of it.
Then I'm off on vacation for a bit, but when I get back I think I'll bottle up my sour/brett saisons. Good time to be a drinker chez Craig.

Did they make more? This has been out for months...

Picked up a haul down in New Hampshire where I was skiing.
-Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
-Sierra Nevada IPA Mixer:
-1-Sierra Nevada Blindfold Black Ipa
-2-Sierra Nevada Golden Ipa
-3-Sierra Nevada Ruthless Rye Ipa
-4-Sierra Nevada Torpedo
-Rogue 25 Integrity ale
-North Coast Old Stock Ale 2013 Cellar Reserve
-Allagash Interlude 2014
-Stone Old Guardian
-Firestone Opal Dry Hopped Saison
-Maine Zoe
-Brooklyn Black Ops
Was very impressed with the Allagash Interlude.
The North Coast was a whopping 14 % and was a great after dinner beer with complex caramel, black current and boozy sweetness.

I'll still have a Lugtread after playing hockey or soccer.

I actually don't mind the Blanc, I know Mrs_NyQuil really likes it. It's a good hot tub beer and has that hint of mango which is refreshing.
Pink Fuzz by Beyond the Pale is another mild but refreshing beer.
You can go to West Coast IPAs but they can be a bit hoppy if you're not in the mood.

A friend of mine swears by the Erdinger Dunkel - it's his favourite beer. He likes the Dunkel better than the regular Weiss.

It's your classic German wheat - banana and cloves, crisp and clean.
It's available in the LCBO as well as on tap in some places (like Central Bierhaus).

Big Rig Release the Hounds Black IPA is solid and by far the best beer I've had from Big Rig. Not the best in the style I've had but it is more hoppy than malty. I'd get it again.
Red Racer India Session Ale is by far the best lower alcohol beer I've ever had I'd take It over Detour or Naughty Neighbour or Crazy Canuck. Just a huge hop explosion from the can. If it wasn't for the thin mouthfeel you'd never know it wasn't an IPA. Highly recommended.

I know no one can probably get it, but I had a fantastic IPA up in Jackson, WY last week. Had it on tap twice at two different places. Pako's IPA by Snake River Brewing.
