- Greg C. is drinking a Subjective Norms by Rorschach Brewing Co at King & DufferinNot quite sure how this differs from Normopathy, as it has similar floral and citrus notes, making it slightly off style but still tasty.
- Greg C. is drinking a Big Boot Hefeweizen by Big Rig Brewery at King & DufferinAn excellent and right-on-style Hefe that is perhaps a bit heavy on the lemon notes, but that's something I personally like in the style.
- Greg C. is drinking an In the Weeds by Kensington Brewing Company at King & DufferinLighter in body & flavour than I expect from an IPA, but still tasty & enjoyable. Just comes across as more of an APA. But a good one.
- Greg C. is drinking a NULA Mango by Burdock at King & DufferinVeers from quite pleasant to slightly off the mark and back again. Enjoyably tart, but mango is faint & artificial tasting. An odd one.
- Greg C. is drinking an ERO by Burdock at King & DufferinComing up on a year old but still in fine fettle. Vinous backbone, well balanced notes of sour cherry and other tart berry, mellow funk.
