    Four Winds' brett saison will be available Saturday at the brewery. I think it'll be a nice day for a little road trip.

    I know I know, it's Friday and everything, but I'm headed out to dinner in a couple minutes then to share some other, predetermined beers with Lurk at a mutual friend's BDay! Though there are chances of one of these bottles ending up coming along.

    I may have been pretty tipsy by the time Lurk cracked a bottle of Dulcis Succubus but my love for it was unmistakeable! So good. I may have to swallow the price tag and get more.

    Yeah what a phenomenal beer - I think it might be my favourite Canadian sour so far. Very glad I picked up a couple more of those. Thank you Quebec!

    The verdict from me is thumbs up for Four Winds Saison Brett! They have made a fine beer. Really enjoyed it. Lots of swearing getting the cork out though!

    Opening my bottle momentarily!

    Question for you guys though, is there a local shop that sells a decent selection of beer glasses? Hoping to get both snifters and small tasters with paddle. The latter is actually for the girlfriend's school project (wish my schooling was that fun).

    Dollar stores, Dollarama all have pretty decent selection of glasses. Atkinson's on Granville has an amazing selection, but it'll cost ya. Also The Bay has a cool little beer glass selection downtown.

    Anybody have any idea when Parallel 49's Toques of Hazard is supposed to be released? They've had it as "coming soon" for almost a month now on their Facebook page. Also, anybody try it yet? Stats/impressions pls.

    It was just being bottled yesterday (as per pictures) so I suspect it'll be in tasting room today/tomorrow.

    Hmm, it's been too long since I've paid a visit to their tasting room. I should change that.

    Tried it today. Not a fan. Has a kind of methane/mushroom note that I find in certain white IPAs (looking at you, Anchorage). The alcohol's really present too. The sahti was great though!

    Are you talking about Galaxy? I loved that beer. I think the Brett is what kinda made it for me, though. Still, looking forward to giving this a try. I know a lot of people weren't too taken with Snap, Crackle, Hop either, and I felt like some sort of awful fanboy for loving it as much as I did. Will check out the Sahti Claus, too.

    Thanks for the trip report.

    Yeah, it might just be me. I had Galaxy a looong time ago too, so it might have had other factors (most everybody else seems to quite like it). I dug Snap Crackle Hop though.

    Due sometime in December, probably just before Xmas so a January release given how slow the BCLDB are:

    The Fifty Fifty 2013 ECLIPSE SINGLE BARREL EDITION is about to roll out in Western Canada. Supplies are extremely limited.

    SKU in Alberta 759224
    SKU in BC 96123

    EACH CASE WILL CONTAINS 2 BOTTLES OF 6 DIFFERENT BARREL AGED BEERS - THEY CAN BE DISTINGUISHED BY THE WAX COLORS OUTLINED BELOW.

    High West Bourbon - Tangerine
    Elijah Craig 12-yr. - Purple
    Java Coffee - Lavender
    Evan Williams - Black
    Makers Mark - Metallic Silver
    Four Roses - Bright Red

    I believe just 50 cases for BC, with 50 coming to AB. Or it may be 50 split, just trying to find out.
