Beer!

We're a bunch of friends over here who share a *cough cough* "passion" for beer and brewing and have enjoyed Stockholm Beer and Whiskey Festival for the last three years. We also made a beer tour to Copenhagen this summer. Highly recommended!

We also run our own micro-micro brewery making all sorts of beer. It's great fun and surprisingly creative. Anyone else interested in brewing their own beer? We've tried lager, different stouts, an assortment of IPAs, some spiced beer, weissbier and a smoked porter. All from real malts, real yeast and real hops. The success rate so far is around 70%, give or take.

Is any other PAer into this?

Also, new Christmas ale from Yukon Brewing is coming soon

Not entirely sure how I feel about the idea.

Okay

so

My local place got one of only 6 kegs that Yukon sent to Alberta.  I drank 2 pints of the stuff tonight, it was actually really damn good.  Not nearly as fruity as I expected, basically a nice dark brown ale with a lot of subtle character.

Having a Founders dry-hopped Pale at the moment. 

After several months into my "dark beer kick" I do believe that Founders is my favorite brewery.  They seem to be pretty consistent.  Love the Pale, the "dark sexy" Porter, and of course their Dirty b*****d scotch ale is my favorite beer of late. 

In terms of styles I like the scotch ales.....any good dark ale with hints of scotch/bourbon behind it goes down really well.  I like the Stouts a lot too but I can't drink too much of that stuff or I get full fast.

Have you tried Founders Breakfast Stout...? Good stuff.

This is quite an amazing bottle of beer.  Very intense and satisfying and yet not all that filling.  Strong rush of good coffee/cocoa bite with a bit of spice (cinnamon), the latter very subtle. 

Founders continues to blow me away....looking forward to trying more of their seasonal and specialty brews if I can find them. 

Thanks for the pick Wu!
