The featured brewery at the Brass Tap last night was local brewer, Grayton. I had a pint of their pale ale. I followed that up with a pint of Abita Mardi Gras bock. Then the guy next to me started getting agitated and I decided I'd had enough to drink.

My dad and I are devastated as our favorite beer, Wayerbacher Double Simcoe Hops, has been retired by the brewery

The Alberta Genuine Draft is pretty good. Not award-winning but a decent deal regardless of the novelty of the can.

These days, I like to pour my beer from the can into a glass before I drink it and am far less concerned about chugging it quickly than I was at 18.
Unfortunately, this far south, we do not see much beer from Canada beyond Molson, Labatt and Moosehead. However a Canadian friend did send me a bottle of a Quebec microbrew called "Mad Cow" (La Vache Folle, in French of course). Sadly she failed to read the label until she went to ship it. It was a milk stout and I am lactose intolerant so I will have to hand it on to one of my lactose tolerant children.

Had a couple pints of Maine Beer Company's Lunch IPA on Tuesday night. It's my favorite beer. All MBC brews I've had are great.

Been sitting in my favorite beach bar in PVR drinking some ice cold Pacifico.

Went out to the Brass Tap last night for a couple native Floridian beers. Grayton is still brewery of the month so tried their stout and found it very coffee-centric. Also had a pineapple pale ale from Funky Buddha. Enjoyed it way more than Ballast Point's pineapple sculpin. The difference was it was a bit sweeter and more pineapply. Headed to Ft Lauderdale in April to the Funky Buddha brewery and taproom. I'm very excited about that.

Finally someone that drinks Maine Beer, and no doubt realizes how hard it is to get. (Unless you get Zoe or something...)
We drank several cases of Maine this weekend on a ski trip with friends. Mainly their Lunch and Old Man Tom, which I also liked.
Never had the dinner, yet. That's my goal for 2017.
