Brian's World

Its a good thing I don't have much to do at work, it gives me time to slack off and make a world map of everywhere I've managed to visit in my adult life. Check it out at Frappr here. You too could be wasting time at work making a map like this!! Just think of the waste!

Anyway, I guess I should post something about beer. So far my "no beer for a week and a half" is going ok, I still think about beer every day... I should probably stop reading homebrew books!
I added some half-ass reviews about the following beers from the last few weeks though:

• Lions Winter Ale from Grandville Island Brewery in Vancouver. Strong vanilla flavour. Drink it warm otherwise its weird.
• Fuller's London Pride (import from England) - one of my favs.
• Fuller's ESB (import from England) - very good, nice and bitter!
• Moosehead Lager from New Brunswick. Decent drinkin' beer.
• Paulaner Hefe-Weissbier Naturtrüb (import from Germany). SO good. Tied so far for my favorite hefeweizen.
• Hacker-Pschorr Hefe Weisse Natürtrub (import from Germany). Its ok, a little light for my taste.
• Schneider Weisse (import from Germany). A little darker for the style, but tied for my favorite.
• Edelweiss Hefetrub (imported from Austria).
• Edelweiss Dunkel Weissbier (imported from Austria)

I have lots of time this weekend so I'm working on a post about some kind of beer style, we'll see what I come up with. Or something not related to beer at all..... tune in for the excitement!
Cheers!
