Definitely more drinkable as time goes on.

Super sweet blood orange is an interesting addition to a pale ale.

Nice NZ Hop NE style IPA. Great haze. Big, juicy hop profile. Moderate bitterness. Had on draft too but preferred the bottle.

Steve O. is drinking a High Grade IPA by Fairweather Brewing Company at Red Lake, Ontario
I'd like to see date coding on these bottles. Nice equinox and my fav Idaho 7. Nice restraint on both. Malt plays buts not over play in'.

Eric M.: Looks like you "provisioned" well.
Steve O.: Don't leave home without it!
Eric M.: Worth the drive to red lake! ..or, wait, was that Acton?...

Eric M.: 🎯
Darcy: Lock & load!
Steve O. is drinking a Bloom - Farmhouse Ale With Cherry Blossoms by Four Winds Brewing at Red Lake, Ontario
This is nice. Definitely a classic FW house flavour. Not a ton of Cherry but I'm good with that. Similar to Operis base brew and that's good

Always enjoy this brew. Can't wait for the next run!
Steve O. is drinking The Beer With No Name by Lake Of The Woods Brewing Company
Saved the worst for last! Medicinal. Talk about stacking incompatible flavours. Ginger is strong. Too much going on.

Mild but surprisingly natural blueberry flavour. Alright if you like a fruit beer.

Steve O. is drinking a Big Timber IPA by Lake Of The Woods Brewing Company
Malt forward. Bitter. A bit syrupy and sweet. Not my type.

Steve O. is drinking a HYPE by Block Three Brewing Co. at Red Lake, Ontario
Oak, Brett funk. Prefer the regular to the fruited version as it showcases the funk better. Wish I had picked up more!

Little gush. Blackberries are very tart. Whoa! Beer slightly warmer than outside temperature but it's about 8 degrees here!
Steve O. is drinking a Northern Logger by Sleeping Giant Brewing Co.
Better fresh. Good to see a big corporation supporting local.
Steve O. is drinking a Mocha Stout by Sleeping Giant Brewing Co. at Sleeping Giant Brewery Co
Solid brew. More like a 3.85. Charred malts, lean mouth feel sweet chocolate and coffee notes. Very drinkable!
Earned the The Great White North (Level 57) badge!
Should have started with this one. Juicy but boozy.
