Imperial IPA, Granville Island Brewing, BC

Hoppy, 8.2%ABV. A limited release. Tasty, but I think I'm going off IPAs. I started drinking hoppier beers a year or two ago with Chris, who really liked them a the time. I think I'm saturating!

Rockfish Red Ale, Howe Sound, BC

5.3%ABV

Cuvee D'Hiver, Driftwood, BC

Despite the name, I think it'd make a better summer time beer. A bit of Belgian complexity, but light, bit hoppy, and clean. Perfect for sitting around a picnic table in the afternoon sun.

Don de Dieu, Unibroue, QC

9%. My favourite, tasted head to head against the Fin du Monde and Maudite. Doesn't taste as strong, more balanced.

Hoperation Tripel Cross Belgian IPA, Phillips, BC

Hoppy, complex, tasty, 8%.

ESB, Swans, BC

Can't remember...

Blackheart Oatmeal Stout, Nelson Brewing Company, BC

Not very stout, but a decent dark beer. Bit of bitterness from the roast.

Amnesiac Double IPA, Phillips, BC

8.5%, tasty, hoppy. Nice!
