cask nights
last thursday at the yaletown brewpub the cask was stout dry-hopped with sorachi ace i wasn't too sure about dry-hopping a stout, but you know what! what? the sorachi ace worked like a charm in the stout not a citrusy hop, it lent some bitterness and depth of flavour to the stout bravo, i say, bravo! last night at the railway club it was an r&b cask of mint and cucumber ipa let me begin by saying that i hate cucumber not just dislike, its a burning passionate hatred i love pickles, i hate cucumber, i am large, i contain contradictions others may find the cuke innocuous, but i can smell it a mile off and be driven into a homicidal rage however, i did try the cask i love an ipa, i like mint... maybe i could get over the cucumber part? alas, the murky brew smelled too much like cucumber for me to even consider more than a few sips the mint was nice though... everyone else appreciated it... i'm just a cuke hater okay? geesh!
