legacy liquor store

new and fun beers available at legacy liquor store in vancouver: Phillips Double Dragon Red Ale - $6.95 A gem from Vancouver Island, this Imperial Red Ale pours dark amber with a frothy head. Grapefruit and malt dominate the nose while nuts and toast are found on the palate. Medium-bodied and textured, it satisfies the greatest thirst. Fort Garry Kona Imperial Stout - $7.55 From Winnipeg, Manitoba, this roasty Imperial Stout boasts notes of coffee and malt to match its dark mocha appearance, with more caramel and coffee taking charge in the flavour department. Medium-bodied and smooth, this Brewmaster Series beer is a solid contender in the realm of stouts. Phillips Twisted Oak Barrel Reserve Red Ale - $7.85 Aged in freshly emptied rum barrels to give it a deep amber hue, this brew wraps lightly roasted malts in sugarcane sweetness. It’s not often that a beer like this comes around, so don’t miss out. Enjoy in a snifter at cellar temperature.

next up on our lost saturday of beer tasting was the dead frog fusion hopped pilsner weighing in at 5% it was by far the lowest abv we drank that whole day "Fusion Hopped Pilsner is a fresh, zesty, immaculate German Pilsner that uses a Top Secret brewing technique to fuse European hops with premium malt to give you massive, distinct hop flavours and a smooth finish!" i think this lovely photo of me taking a sip says exactly how i felt about this brew: no idea how this got past a brewmaster and out to the unsuspecting public smells like every generic pilsner on the market but has the temerity to taste even worse loved the citra ipa haven't liked a single other "brewmaster series" production dead frog, you disappoint me insert unhappy face emoticon here

dead frog disappointment

oh the disappointment! i heard back from five vancouver beer bloggers who are interested in doing a field trip to dead frog which is lovely and wonderful but i haven't had a response from dead frog i emailed the ceo last week and then their general info email yesterday nothing zip zilch nada i'm getting the feeling that they just aren't that into me which is sad, because sam the brewmaster really seemed pleased with himself for coming up with the idea i will not give up yet but i gotta tell ya, it ain't looking good
