Best of this particular style yet. I think I detect a hint of rye malt in there.

Davies, what are your opinions on these Black IPA Frankenbrews? Approve, disapprove?


Just curious?

how is it pale, and black? i'm so confused

it adds up quickly doesn't it... but it's so much more satisfying than just pummeling a bud or whatever

i had tecate in a big can on friday night and i enjoyed it... i can definitely drink more cheaply in the summer when a cold mexican beer in a can really just hits the spot

** reading up on the black ipa thing...


Hopping rates are often greater than in normal IPAs, and dry-hopping - adding hops during the fermentation or later - is a common practice.



no thanks !

A friend of mine brought me some St Bernardus 12 bottles (26oz/750ml). Oh man I'm lucky. Couldn't be happier.

It's sinful to say this but I think I prefer Bernie over Westy, at least when they're both mostly fresh. If not it's at least so close. Aged I don't know yet since I'm still aging mine.



I've had this on tap a couple times now.

I can't decide if this is better than Derniere Volonte. Flavour is more intense but it comes at the cost of a way higher ABV too.

i tried to find Dunham's Leo's Early Breakfast IPA at my go-to amazing beer spot that has thousands of beers in stock and no luck. they said it doesnt get shipped to the US.

Damn shame. And I was waiting for a new (rare) batch of it and they had a problem with the production.

And once again, I'm jealous of you americans... so many microbreweries.

Speaking of Brasserie Dunham, I was impressed with their black IPA. And I'm far from being a fan of black beer. #racist

Their Black IPA is pretty good. I had Great Lakes Black IPA and that on the same night a while back. Was a good night.

Going to Boston this weekend. I'll stop at the Beverage Warehouse of Vermont, hope I'll be able to find some gems. I should also visit the Sam Adams and Harpoon breweries, will be fun

$2.55 a bottle here. Spent just a shade over $15 for 6.

I'm not even sure I can get it that cheap if I were in Belgium. I refuse to complain about the LCBO anymore.

Happy birthday. Those are some nice glasses.



Had a couple of these tonight. I don't think they were all that fresh but they were still good.
