Fog City Hazy IPA. 5.8%



It's alright just vastly prefer Hazy APA.

Not gonna order again though.

Didn't buy any beer this week at home.

Good George IPA



Since last post had a couple of so so pilsners.

This one's better than last. 4 beers on happy hour might be hitting me hard. Waiting for steak and garlic bread.

Boundary Road Breweries Stolen Base American Double IPA 8% ABV 3.2 standard drinks.

Wasn't sure about the stolen part or American part. No F-35's bombed me nor marines invading.

I suppose referencing an American sport makes sense in the name of an American-style IPA.

Brown Truck Brewery No. 19 Pineapple Belgian Witbier. 3.71/5 on Untappd. 4.2% ABV. There's a hint of pineapple, but I'm not 100% sure I would have guessed that's what it was. It's certainly drinkable, but the pineapple doesn't really fit the rest of the beer.

Not a fan of Witbier.

Few things you post already been there done that.

Mr Boring APAs lol. That and the heers you get aren't in my local supermarket they're all the way "over there" and that involves effort.

Couple of Russian beers at the supermarket.

Siberian Corona? At 5.3% 1litre can.

And I can't read the read one except it says 3 hills beer. Expecting a European macro lager. Kind of comes in a jug.

Red one is an e. 4.9%.

A bit more standard, two Oktoberfests.

Loved the name - Uncle Festbier by Savannah River.

"A traditional Oktoberfest that we non-traditionally dry hopped with… you guessed it… German Tradition hops! This beer is bready, toasty, and nutty with just a hint of caramel. Dry hopping with Tradition hops provides a fresh spicy floral character. Crisp and refreshing, this beer is perfect for any Fest!'

3.6/5 on Untappd. I'm not usually a fan of much hops and spice, but this works pretty well. I can see getting singles of this again for the cold weather months.



Mad Bishop Octoberfest by DuClaw. 80=Good, 3.48/5 on Beer Advocate. Very drinkable, and certainly not as strong as Uncle Festbier (hops/spice is gentler, up front, and fades quickly).

Tastes like an NZ beer for the most part. Not as bitter perhaps.





Not bad throughly generic macro ale. Better than a few I suppose.

Siberskaya Korona




Warm day here and been chilling this can overnight.

Perfectly generic and somewhat bland and inoffensive euro lager. Reminds me of Budweiser with a bit more flavour. No strong after taste.

Just a beer. Great on a hot day or student parties I would imagine.

Can't really rate it fairly it's just so inoffensive. Wouldn't give it a 7 but to good for a 6 imho.

Would drink again there's just better beers in the price range and better Russian beers for the price.

The Baltika range (5, 7, Zatecky Gus, Zhighuli) has more flavour.

Extra point I suppose for chugging on a hot day at the beach or binge drinking.
