Used to make frequent trips (4 a year) to Montreal to visit our outsourcing partner CGI and always enjoyed my share of Rickards Red while enjoying the trip. The food and drink in Montreal was always outstanding and Rickards on tap was a joy.

I suspect most anywhere is going to be better than the food I've had down in London. Appears to be loads of meth though, if you're into that.

I'll pass on the meth --HB is good enough for me :) Only had one dinner in London and of course had to choose a pub and try authentic Fish-n-Chips (a good meal with a few drafts!). Can't recall the pub but did enjoy that traditional meal.
 
Drinking a very young saison, bottled last week.just to add to.my notes for future batches.even after only a week of bottle aging, it has good carbonation ( natural carbonation using corn sugar), it fades quickly, but has promise, it's a little more bitter than it should be, but I expect that to mellow..almost wish o chilled 2.

Firestone Walker is a great brewery here in Southern California. One of my beer-curious daughters hung out there last weekend for a beer and fun with her significant other. She sent me pictures, but no beer. Obviously I have failed as a father.

Oh well, this gets my beer loving salivary glands longing for a hoppy West Coast beer, quick!

Fortunately, beer is just minutes from here, and what beer it is! A delicious West Coast IPA, 6.7% ABV in a manly sized 19.2 oz smoke stack can of a beer. A can taller than its glass. Love it!

Everything that comes out of Firestone Walker is yummy and delicious. Funny story - Their golden ale was floundering until they switched to the area code name 805 which turned on the college kids in Santa Barbara. Great move! This one maintains the family values… Citrusy, piney, everything you want in a W-Coaster. Great job!

From left to right:
IPA, two fruited sours, an American light lager and then another fruited sour.
Apparently in my sixties I've turned into an old man... none of those beers look good to me.
Now...get off my lawn!

I'm about half way between their main brewery in Paso and their Barrelworks location in Buellton. Absolutely love going to Barrelworks, especially for their BBA strong ales. It's a treat when they occasionally tap a keg of their rarer or older classics, or have a vertical of different Parabola vintages. Sucaba, their English style barleywine, is one of my absolute favorite beers brewed by anyone. It's especially good on tap, and even more so when they reach back and bring out a 5 or 6+ year old keg of it.

I haven't tried but will if I can find it. Earlier today I saw that Morebeer has a kit version. It has 11 different hops. Wonder if it compares?
