Manitoba


Over the last two months I have been working on a writing project that has brought me to places I have never been before. Unpacking the historical landscape of this city and finding remnants of its past is very much like an Indiana Jones enterprise, without the inherent colonial tomb stealing.
Im pretty stoked on these tasting glasses from now defunct Manitoba breweries. You may call me out as a hoarder/collector of things I don't need, but honestly I have been buying these with the flights in mind. My plan is to build flight decks for sets of 4. These flight decks will be in the shape of swords, I hope.

Black Galaxy

Gentlemen, frankly I am amazed we made it to the brewery on time for the Saturday morning release. And I don't think its because we took it easy during our respective Friday nights either. A testament to our will for one-off releases.

So here's the lineup, even before the door opened, to score Half Pints Black Galaxy Cascadian Dark Ale. A great batch that has somehow managed to stay around the apt. longer than two weeks. We got our limit, but there definitely were a handful of those who did not (gauging by first hand account and the unpopulated review board on BeerAdvocate). Those empty handed might want to try Lethbridge though. If you missed out and would like to trade for any Gueuze I have not had before, feel free to contactme.
