Not sure what a velvet bubble lord is, but this Flying Monkeys Brewing sour is quite good. Sweet and sour with heavy blueberry notes, Smooth. I'd have another of these #craftbeer

Tonight I chose a stout that is named after soul carrying hairless dog. Drool worthy Xoloveza Imperial Stout by Bellwoods Brewing. Rich cocoa, spice from the habanero, acidity softens with cinnamon that combines with cocoa that lingers. Rich, delicate, spiced & full. Great #craftbeer

Does a perfect Triple IPA exist? I can say it does thanks to Third Moon Brewing and their Triple Wither Without You. It's got the hop hit you'd expect from a triple, notes of grapefruit, dank undertones, citrus heavy and juicy. Full bodied, layered and strong (10.5%). 👌#CraftBeer

Almond Joy with More Coconut? Sounds like a nice chocolate treat. Except Counterpart Brewing melted that into their Roller Stout, and the flavours just hit. Smooth chocolate, almond and they absolutely nail the coconut balance. Lactose makes it smooth. Very cool #craftbeer

Nothing like a smooth well balanced WBA Stout on a cool winter night. Starling Whisky Barrel Aged stout is smooth as hell, packs a good whisky flavour that settles into a smooth roasty & creamy finish. Really enjoyed this one. I shared this #craftbeer and wish I didn't

While Mortals Dance in Defiance of the Dark, I dance in excitement of another @ThirdMoonBeer Winner. Dank, juicy, hoppy and mildly sweet. Hops linger a bit, and 8% ABV for this double. These folks do good IPAs, I won't dance around it ;) #CraftBeer

A leftover collab from my last stop in Milton and It Even Has a Watermark... Is the name. This double IPA is dank, piney hops, juicy mouthfeel and strong at 8%. The folks at Third Moon do it again. #craftbeer

8ieme Anniversaire on day 12 of the Advent Calendar. This double IPA by Brasserie du Bad Canada is fruit forward with notes of orange, citrus, peach and hops. 8 years of strong brews from this crew #craftbeer

Day 11 advent. Time for another Cold Bear Report. Having the Pop on Hops NEIPA with QC Hydra, Peacharine, Motueka & Motueka Hop Kief. Grapefruit, subtle peach, lime and full bodied flavour. Bright and lime finish makes this a smooth ride. I think my fav IPA from them #craftbeer

This is the advent Calendar that keeps on giving. Day 10 Blood Brothers Brewing, Days Eye IPA. Mango, grapefruit and subtle peach, piney but juicy. A very good IPA from a great brewery. One to try #craftbeer

Late day 8 of my Advent Calendar Beer today. New brewery for me with Brasserie Bad Bones. This double IPA is JUICY, grapefruit, subtle peach & a citrus blast, but some dank hops balances those fruit flavours. Very impressed. I will keep my eye out for these folks! #craftbeer

The perfect dessert beer? Does it exist. Yes and you might have to add an S to the word beer thanks to @ThirdMoonBeer Bestowed series. Oreo cookie, rich milk chocolate brownie, smooth mouth feel & sweetness is cut by an almost rum like booziness. Incredible, magic #craftbeer

Soft spot for Third Moon Brewery, Bone tree and dank IPAs. The DDH Halloween 2025 version of the Bone Tree checks all the boxes. Dank, grapefruit, pine, creamy mouthfeel and a dry finish. Never a bad play to grab any variation of bone tree! That dark forest is bountiful #craftbeer

Friday. 5th day of Advent Calendar and it's a familiar brewery from up north! @46northbeer . Moo-town NEIPA. Pinneapple, dank creamy and hazy. This one is a winner in an Advent calendar or on a warm summer day (I miss those). 6.8% abv. Delicious #craftbeer

On the 4th day of Xmas, I gave to me (it was my day on the Advent). My contribution? Coffee Death Dealer Porter @ThirdMoonBeer
Rich, subtle dark chocolate, roasty and smooth. An anytime of the day kind of beer. 6.9% ABV #craftbeer

Well I got me a bit of a Beer legend today
Canning date is a bit older though. I'm gonna make it a mission to try this fresh. This one is smooth, grapefruit and pine. But descriptions say there are more layers.
I'll file this under to be determined, but even aged this is solid #craftbeer

No regrets. Only my 2nd @willibaldfarm brew but my f1st Advent calendar brew in 2025. Very interesting brew. Dank up front, followed by a resinous profile that is highlighted by orange and stone fruit. Hazy in the glass, creamy & 8.4% to boot. These Advent guys mean business #craftbeer

Hoppy with notes of apricot. Smooth but strong. That's the just of Burdock Brewings own Double Ducks IIPA. Apricot isn't something I've tasted much in an IPA but that's the flavour I get here. 8% ABV, I'd have a couple of these #craftbeer

Does Winnipeg have a king of IPAs?! Is it @kilterbrewing.bsky.social ?

This Final Phantasy Double IPA hits some serious melon notes, with a full juicy mouth feel, hoppy and very distinctly dank. 8% ABV
These guys know how to brew! Keep em coming. Cloud level! #craftbeer

Third Moon! This is not a beer. You canned a root beer float. You "CLAIM" it contains 5% ABV. You want me to think this is a Root Beer Vanilla ice cream "sour ale". You added a subtle amount of sour flavour, then canned it. I am on to you! What a crazy unique brew this is. Just cool #craftbeer

A St Bernardus & Weihenstephan Helles collab? Hard to pass that up at the LCBO. Hoppier than most Helles but it's used to cut the sweet bread, cereal flavors. Crushable, subtle floral notes & only 6%. Bread on the nose, light gold colored. Bonne biere! #craftbeer

Muel Fuel, not really sure what a muel is but it's fuel is quite delicious. The fine folks at Wood Bros Brewing do it again with this uniquely named IPA. Creamy, peachy, citrus, dank and quite juicy on the palate.
Consider this Muel, fueled
