Had this the other night. It's a bourbon barrel aged stout with Amburana wood spirals. The Amburana put out insane cinnamon/spice notes eventhough the beer itself had no actual added spices. I'm not huge into spiced stouts, so I liked, didn't love it, but it was a trip to have something taste so spice forward without having spices. 14.6% ABV, but very well balanced.
this is why they call you "the fancy beer lad of oakland"
looks damned tasty
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

I will take up a collection to bribe Inder to change Hoy's tag to that.

I'm very glad I got to open fancy beers with you when you visited.
Also, it took me a solid hour to get through the beer. It also really opened up as it got closer to room temp.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Why cant this stuff come to America instead of Moosehead, Labbats and Molson?
According to the website, it's based in Virginia. Which is a type of America.

Not my America!
Actually I thought this was the Quebec brewer Boreale. Also has a bear logo.
That would be "Votre directrice est une salope."

I invite everyone here to google this phrase.

So a condo went up a couple blocks from us. Main floor has a bank and a Starbucks—big whoop—but the other day we saw in the largest space a bunch of refrigerated cases and check-out spots. There's a big grocery store half a block away and an organic store a block and a half, so I'm hoping it's a booze store. So much so now that I've convinced myself that's what it is—a booze store and a hardware store are the things we're lacking nearby—and I'm going to be deeply disappointed if that's not what it is. I'll be goddamned if I have to continue walking 15 minutes there and 15 minutes back to get some bourbon. I pay taxes, you know, so I deserve something 2 minutes away!
We spent a week in Toronto back in 2019 (oh, those awesome days when we could travel) and there was a LCBO within walking distance from where we were staying. I think I visited every day we were there.
It's been confirmed that it's an LCBO. The only thing we lack in the neighbourhood now is a hardware store (coincidentally, the site of the condo with the incoming LCBO was a hardware store, but it burned down, hence the condo build).
