I didn't know Dark Horse was sold, too bad. Their little hippy commune was a fun place to visit and they have a number of great beers, Too Cream Stout, Scotty Karate, Toonilla, One Oatmeal Stout .. why yes, I dig them.

Ive got a Scotty in the cellar. Vintage 2017. Yep - Marshall, MI -----it was quite the destination...place looked like it had about 20 additions added to it. It was a freaking blast to go to......dint they even have a reality show on some TV network ?

Hoof Hearted Girth Brooks
http://www.hoofheartedbrewing.com/beers/girth-brooks.htmlImperial Stout with Coffee, Vanilla and Coconut. I think that they used some coconut milk because it is sweeter than expected for an imperial coffee stout.

First time in what seems like ages, neither me or Mrs DC working this weekend, and grandkids with their parents for the weekend, so out for a nice dinner we go! (local persian place...stuffed, and brought leftovers home still!)

Home after, watched some TV and now music time for me...it's an Ex Novo IPA evening it seems, and it's hard to go wrong with that:

"Cadillac Dreams"

"Doctor's Note"

"Emergency Cardigan"

Yesterday was Ex Novo, today it's Gravity Bound (since I stopped in there this afternoon)

Shared with the Mrs, "No Time To Idle" sour ale with blueberry, strawberry, vanilla and orange...so smooth and easy going down

Then "Where Lightning Strikes" pilsner

and now, "Leisure Dreams" hazy IPA

Old standby: Creemore Lager. Too bad they changed the label though, I prefer the original woodcutting.

Cool, never heard of that one. In fact, not sure we regularly get that in the US. I've never seen it anyway.

GOS, I've had the regular Hipster Brunch Stout and it is damn tasty; the bite from the rye should add to the punch. Enjoy!

My wife got me a membership to The Bruery Reserve for Christmas, so far so good ...
I should be able to release these, and the stuff I get/buy each month, to DC when I go out to visit my sis this summer. If not, I'm going to eat a BIG shipping charge at the end of the year.

Awesome! That's the thing that drew me towards it. Rye! Love that...

Way back when I lived in T.O. (left in '91) I always liked Creemore Springs...one of the few "local" micro that I had access to then. I still have an old cap somewhere band had a set of 4 glasses. Over the years a couple of the glasses got broken and the two I still have I can't see the logo any longer...washed off.

 

[user 1679]

And being glad to be home after another long work week...it's well past beer o'clock...

Saint Arnold "H-Town" pils

Marble Brewery - Red Ale. Had this a few times but not for a while...ought to get it more often as it's a really good red!

Ex Novo "Cadillac Dreams" hazy IPA

 

[GOS]

I can't see the logo any longer...washed off.

Regarding logos on glasses. We have many that have washed off, or at least made them very thin, nearly gone. I often wonder if that's due to using the dish washer? Or they wash off eventually anyway with careful hand washing??

Pretty sure its dishwasher issue.

I hand wash my New Holland glasses and years on the logo remains fresh.

Keep in mind though, for CO2 and not nitro, bubbles on the inside along the glass means it is dirty or has soap residue.

Huh!! I wasn't aware of that. Thanks for the link!

I hand wash everything and scrupulously rinse afterwards, as a general habit. will have to test a glass next time I pour a beer!
