What new brews have you been trying? I just had my first Sinebrychoff (Koff) Porter IV, a Finnish beer, and my first taste of Scandinavian darks. It's quite nice, remarkably smooth and drinkable for a dark with 7.2% alc content. Almost a dark chocolate flavour but not in a chocolate stout way and not with any lingering bitterness.

Last night I drank a Widmeyer Hefeweizen, which I found meh, and a Maresdous 8, which was very tasty in the tradition of tasty Belgian strong ales. A bit on the sweeter side of what I like but not over the line.

I think I am going to drop by Dieu du Ciel tonight, actually. Everything they have is actually to a pretty high standard... the reason you probably haven't found it is because they aren't actually bottling any of their brews yet. Apparently they're opening another brewery north of the city though, and they're going to start bottling there! I can't remember where I heard that. I read it today after doing a bit of ch0whound research. I will see if I can talk to the owners or something tonight (I'm going early so hopefully the place will be near empty, I'm not much of one for the crowd there). I've not had the aphrodisiaque, don't know if it's "in season" (they only brew most things a couple times a year), but if they have it I'll give you a review!

In Mexico I tried Bohemia (regular, not dark) and it was fantastic - at the moment I thought it was one of the best beers I'd ever tried.
Recently I tried some Bohemia in a U.S. Mexican place and it was meh. Is it possible I was getting a different "export" version, or that the transit did something to the beer?

Response from Dieu du Ciel to two questions I asked via e-mail:
Hello Will,
Thanks you for your comments. It is much appreciated.
1-) We brew the Aphrodisiaque only 2 or 3 times a year. The next batch will probably be avaible something like next september.
2-) Yes, it's true, we are in the process of building up a bottling plant in St-Jérôme. There will also be a pub there. We hope to be able to sell our first bottles at the end of July.
Cheers! [dude's name removed by me]

When alcohol content is shown on U.S. beer, it is often labelled by weight. Since alcohol is lighter than water, this can leave the mistaken impression that U.S. beer has much less alcohol, on average, than Canadian beer. A 3.2% beer in the U.S. (by weight) would be equivalent to a 4% beer in Canada (by volume).

Recommend some beer. Not too heavy, not too wheaty, crisp and refreshing in the style of Tsing Tsao or similar.
Also recommend some beers like Paulaner or the white Kronenberg with the fruity taste whose name escapes me.

I was at the nashville beer fest and the best thing there was a homebrewed bock that they ran out of by my second go-round. After a while though all you care about is that the beer is cold, because it's nearly august, and you're outdoors in nashville.

They have seasonal beers (which I can remember the name of), that friends would bring me in growlers. I never managed to locate the brewery, which apparently is on the West Side (on Niagara, maybe?). Anyway, I remember enjoying the summer and winter ales quite a bit.

One of the benefits of my area of London filling up with large numbers of young eastern Europeans is the availablity in the cornershops of excellent Polish beers at ridiculously cheap prices.
Zywiec is one of the better ones, at about £1 a bottle. The dark lagers especailly are a revelation.

since the entire province of bc is going up in flames i guess this is a good time to rank some of bc's best beers, i've been to about a dozen breweries here so far and have tried all types of brewskies
one thing to note is that beers here tend to be extremely mild compared to the us and a lot of pubs/restaurants/bars don't even show abv numbers
the mild thing goes both ways -- sometimes it's good if it's a heavy beer like a stout, because it doesn't mess you up so much and you can enjoy it a bit more; but lighter or hoppy beers tend to be so mild it borderlines on lager or pilsner
i never used to like pilsners, but i've grown to like them here because bc actually makes decent pilsners
anyway here we go (ranked)
brassneck geezer (porter)brassneck staircase hibiscus witbrassneck changeling raspberry (american wild ale)

Of that list I've only had 5 beers from Brassneck & Parallel 49 and all were fair to below-average in my opinion (including the Changeling Raspberry which always seems to be on-tap at the Alibi Room).
I did find a raw bar in Kits that had Cantillon Iris on tap which made me forget all the mediocre local brews.

i find that the popular beers are all bad weirdly enough
so i have to pick wisely or just keep going back til i find the right one

I visited Brassneck for the first time recently and tried 8 beers (2 flights of 4) and while they were all enjoyable to some degree, there wasn't one that I would take the trouble to go back for.
For me the most consistently good brewery around here is Dageraad, but that may just be because I love Belgian(-style) beer. Their Lake City Farmhouse is back on the market now and it is delicious stuff.
Another favourite is Four Winds, but while they hit some high highs they have also had numerous duds or average beers. Many of their special releases have been excellent... That said, the most recent one, "Meli", was pretty bad. They have good food at their tasting room.
Other worthwhile breweries in the region: Steel and Oak, Twin Sails (right next door to Yellow Dog), Strange Fellows.
Worst I've experienced in the area is Fuggles and Warlock. I've tried 7 or 8 of their beers and they were all disgusting except for the Yuzu Berliner Weisse which was at least drinkable.

My search continues too. I like trying the local stuff and supporting the local breweries. I don't often have anything that's outright bad, but it's rare to find something outstanding, and it frequently seems to be the case that my favourites are brewed once and then disappear.
When I drink something like Saison Dupont, as I did last night, I think to myself I should just drink this all the time because it's so much better (and often cheaper) than the dizzying variety of average beers I sample. But curiosity and hope keep me going I suppose!

Re: supporting local, the Washington Beer Lovers' (WABL) passport has been a good excuse to visit new breweries and revisit others. 20 breweries visited gets you a hat, pint glass / opener, growler, or whatever item they annually put out. 50 breweries gets a free membership renewal ($30) which includes a t-shirt. Plus discounts. Pretty simple to get 50 just by checking out one or two new ones a week in the Seattle area. After a few years of hitting 50 fairly easily, relaxing into prioritizing the favorites.
Fun to trade recommendations with friends, re: the great ones. Having so many good ones in the area, the bar is raised for the ones you'd make an effort to visit. Also makes for a good weekend trip, hitting a concentration in a different city (Bellingham, Olympia, Vancouver in the South, etc.) or sidetrips when crossing the Cascades.
Top 5 is always open to finding a new standout, but would rate Georgetown, Reuben's, Skookum, Triplehorn, and Bale Breaker as my current.

I gotta say, making this into a camping fest absolutely turns me off, although I can see the appeal for some people. Last year was my first Darkness day and I had a lot of fun, but part of that was it being a good afternoon out with food, beer, and a few bands, and that was it. Moving it out of the cities and making it a weekend sounds like work.
(And getting the namesake product, at least the regular stuff, is easy. I saw it for sale last week. Given the easy availability of all other Surly variants, I can't imagine them being any different in the months following the big party.)
