tuesday's cask at the railway club was r&b hoppelganger dry-hopped with cascade and it was a thing of beauty and a joy to imbibe! such wonderful hoppy goodness! thursday's cask at the yaletown brewpub was their stout all dry-hopped up and it too was a thing of beauty and a joy to imbibe! not too stouty for a hot summer's day because it was hopped up like crazy! and it made for a lovely black and tan with the brick and beam ipa
