Weekend plans...

Man, if I lived in Belgium, I'd just stock up on Cantillon fruited lambics and Drie Fountain guezue for days...

Have a bottle of Cantillon Vigneronne and plenty of 3 Fonteinen geuze in the fridge - do not fret mate!..

Here's a pic of what I'm having now... It will do wonders to my mixing up La Moneuse and Moinette

Refreshing, but nothing too special...

Howe Sound Megadestroyer Licorice Imperial Stout. It is 10% abv. I ordered it, assuming an 8 oz portion as usual for a winebeer, and they serve it in Imperial pints at this place! Anyway, it's a combination of, not only beer, but stout, of which I am a supporter, and connoisseur, and sambucca. It's as though the brewmaster/brewster at down and pondered "how can I best please ImTheGroom?" My friends, this is quite the notable occasion.

Thornbridge Kipling. Lotsa kiwi, lotsa white wine... This is something I could drink all day long on a hot summer day... Grand stuff!..

Tried Abita Jockamo IPA last night. It's terrible. Sweet and boozy, even though it's only 6.5%. It reminded me of an ice beer.

In the same meaning as India Pale Ale, just in a brown?

To me, tastes a lot like a brown ale. Very tasty. Here's the description from their website:

Forget about the car companies, this is the original hybrid. A cross between a Scotch Ale, an India Pale Ale and an American Brown, Indian Brown Ale is well-hopped and malty at the same time (It's magical!).
The beer has characteristics of each style that inspired it: the color of an American Brown, the caramel notes of a Scotch Ale, and the hopping regimen of an India Pale Ale. We dry-hop the Indian Brown Ale in a similar fashion to our 60 Minute IPA and 90 Minute IPA. This beer is brewed with Aromatic barley and organic brown sugar.

I wanted to like that one more than I did. I found it pretty underwhelming.
