Went to Frik N Frack with Dave in the spring. He had the Canadian Burger with a Canadian. He died and went to Canadian heaven.

I’m in love. Discovered this IPA over the weekend and damn if it isn’t pure heaven. A wee bombardment of hop, enough to rattle your taste buds, while leveling off in time for a cooling malt-bath of the tongue. Glorious.

Brewer’s description:
“So called because of the “ruinous” effect on your palate! This massive hop monster has a wonderfully delicious and intensely bitter flavor on a refreshing malt base. One taste and you can easily see why we call this brew “a liquid poem to the glory of the hop!”. Those who seek, crave and rejoice in beers with big, bold, bitter character will find true nirvana in Stone Ruination IPA!”

I never shared my favourite mug. That’s because I don’t have one :/ However, one of my weekend rituals is to frost down one of these pint glasses and pour in some icy cold IPA. Mmmm.. perfection.
(That said, Jon does have a mug for me. Passed on from my grandpa. I’ll post it once he gets it to me)

The Berlin Mug, can’t recall where I got this from. Possible when my Grandparents went to Germany. Nice heavy base.
The Zeus. A present from my mom. For a few years I would get one of these mugs each done by a different artist. I will post a pic of each later.

We sampled a beer called Baby Tree (8.6%) for Beer Club recently. It’s from Pretty Things Brewery based out of Cambridge, MA.
Description:
“A belgian-style quadrupel brewed with dried plums. Very lightly spiced finish with a sweet and fruity aftertaste”.
The general consensus amongst members was not favourable to multiple pours. No doubt one can taste the plums, but I wouldn’t say it was delicious. In fact, my initial reaction was “whoa…bong water”. Now, if the taste of bong water is your thing, then this is the beer for you.
That said, I would love to get my hands on some of the other beers offered by Pretty Things.

Here’s a quote from the bio:
Jack stands on this side of the Atlantic Ocean, where he has been brought and given many new leases on life. With a great, gleaming moustache, knee-deep in a wooden mash tun, he conjures himself into beer. Helped along by the other “Pretty Things” like the mischievous hops and the transformative miniscules we know as yeast – a magnificent fester would no doubt ensue! One of the most joyful transformations in nature, better than any rabbit from a hat, beer is the result. That is the inspiration of Pretty Things!
