Take one down, pass it around

The saga continues. After a week’s layoff, I thought I would be out-of-shape and out-of-practice, and I was, but I still managed to play better than (most of) the rest of the team, and we lost convincingly again.
…
Now that business is out of the way, it’s Miller time:
- Kilkenny - my preferred beer, and many places in Ottawa seem to have it on tap (Thank you, Guinness reps).
- Keith’s - my favorite mass-market Canadian beer. I can’t pretend it tastes all that different from any of the others, but at least I can pretend I’m sitting on the waterfront in Halifax while drinking it.
- Victory Storm King Stout - the best stout I’ve ever tasted. The LCBO has carried it a sum total of once, and I think they’re waiting for me to go in there and beg before they stock it again.
- X.O. Beer - Anyone who’s known me for longer than one trip to the corner store knows that if they’ll put it in a bottle or can, I’ll likely try it (often twice). But beer and cognac? If it didn’t cost $3/bottle — and that’s the price at the Liquor store — I would be drinking this stuff all the time. It’s wicked tasty.
- Schneider-Weisse Aventinus - One could really slot in any dunkel weizenbier, but this is one of the few that I can reliably get in Ontario. Great memories of sunny days spent drinking on patios in crowded squares or alpine towns in Germany and Austria.
