More summer yumminess from Blindman Brewing with New England Pale Ale. Great juicy taste and nice hops balance.

On the road, enjoying the 1919 Belgian pale ale from Little Brown Jug in Winnipeg. Very nice!

Great first impressions of the Annihilation of the Wicked DIPA from New Level Brewing recommended by the equally great folks Cork Fine Wine in BVS. My kind of vital stats: 8.2% and 80 IBU... yum!

End of day, and time to relax with a delicious special release IPA No14 DDH DIPA from Collective Arts Hazy like a tropical sunset & great art by Graeme Zirk @gramzirk from Vancouver! No 15 in series to come, and I've enjoyed prior ones also.
