BEER! With GRAPEFRUIT!

In keeping with the holiday festivities in Canada and the US, some beer reviews:
  1. Granville Island Ginger Beer: This was consumed in comparison with Phillips Brewing's rendition. The difference is that the Granville Island version doesn't taste like carbonated soap.
  2. Granville Island Rasperry Ale: Not too sweet or sour. A perfect summer beverage, if you don't plan on having more than three or four. Quite nice with a slice of lime, if you're into that sort of thing.
  3. Whistler Brewing Grapefruit Chupacabra Ale. Underwhelming, with not quite enough sour in the finish. Would have been better as a lager. For the record, this was not provided by the Citrus Benevolence Society.
More later, once further research is undertaken. The things I do for you people.

you people are sick. why would you do that?

Admittedly, I tend to not like the flavored beers. Beer is delicious on its own.

Monday, I was at a friend's family picnic, and they had no less than four different homebrews on tap. EXTREMELY POTENT homebrews. And plenty of tequila, which I OBVIOUSLY needed.

Why would you ever be planning on not having more than three or four?
