My oldest brother and I go see Mom on Thursdays to share a meal and some beer. Last week was enchiladas w/rice/beans. Rich flavours in every beer these days. Hard to imagine that I used to be loyal to one brand.

I know people that have been drinking the same beer for decades. They're always the ones drinking something like Coors Light or Budweiser which is beer in name only though. :mrgreen:

I have some goto beers but I enjoy trying beers I haven't had before. Usually I'm satisfied but occasionally I'll get something that I regret purchasing. That rarely happens though. I'm always grabbing something different than my last purchase.

It's the same with growing. I grow different stuff every time. Some have been growing the same strain for years. Boring

Variety for the win.

That’s elk jerky looks tasty! What is the beer like? That’s a cool name like some kind of dinosaur ?
I am kinda scrappy on the road and hit up the closest store to the hotel and found this organic 25 oz I have not
Ever seen before and they had a nice selection of 40 oz malts I haven’t seen in a while as well.
Wish I could check out the local beer scene here but just passin on thru.

The elk pepperoni is very good.
Would go good with some of those Triscuits you got there.

how is the Kolsch?

It's quite delicious - sorry, don't a better description. Lots of salivation in the cheeks.

The back of the can says:
Pairing - soft cheese, grilled meats, pastries.
Tasting - elegant, yellow fruits, floral, lemongrass.
ABV: 5.3% IBU: 18 SRM: 5.5 TEMP: 3°C

Their claim.
Winner of 2021 Ontario Brewing Award of Gold for British Bitter, Absent Landlord is our expression of a Kölsch-style beer, brewed with a perfect combination of old world and new world ingredients, fermented warm, and left honest. It's unfiltered and unpasteurized to let its elegant and delicious flavours stand proud.

I'm sure the Kolsch was good but how does it win an award as a British Bitter?

There are 35 categories that craft beers in Ontario fall into - British Bitter is one of them - see link below for complete list.

A contractor, through work, was a beer judge. He once brought me a few of his favourites from his travels. It's been over a decade but I recall an unfiltered oatmeal stout that was absolutely divine. Something dogfish head too was exceptional.

There are so many to choices, so little time. I anticipate several day trips this summer to visit as many craft breweries as time affords.
