Having a Long Island Sour - a strawberry rhubarb sour from Bumblebee Bight Brewing. I'm not the biggest fan of sours but this is a great one!

St. John's has a better turnout for Regatta Day.
Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

Having an Original Sin from Ninepenny Brewing.

A white IPA at 5.9% with the citrus and clove notes of a wheat beer with the haziness and bitterness of an IPA.

The moon was just a sliver in the sky a few nights back and it was a dark orange colour due of the smoke from a fire in a nearby community.

Just noticed this helicopter and boat coasting along together. Must be a training exercise going on - neat sight!

Having a Spice World 2 from Bannerman Brewing Co. A Munich Dunkel at 5.3%.

Definitely similar to a gingersnap cookie! A little brightness comes through from the lemongrass to round it out. Nice brew 🍻

I now have the Spice Girls stuck in my head however 🤷

Went on vacation, and living in the moment, completely neglected to take any pictures or post anything about it. Saw Metallica, Pantera, Limp Bizkit, Suicidal Tendencies, and Ice Nine Kills in Toronto and it was freaking amazing 🤘

Here's an interesting one... the Hot AF Super Hot Chili Blonde from Rough Waters. A 6% brew with Thai chilis and scotch bonnets 🥵

Surprised with the spice level in this one. Very nice!

May require a Tums chaser though...
