This was the best beer in the case hands down. I messaged Phillips on insta to try to aquire more . They have none, but appreciate the feedback so perhaps more will help with that .

No, you can't. The reason is that they small batch brew weird experimental beers all year and approximately weekly they have a tiny amount in their tiny tasting room. Once it's gone, it's gone. From those, they pick 12 to keep enough of (or make likely make another batch) to stick in these calendars.
It makes it super unique every time you stop by their place. It's one of the first places I went after I got my birthday car in Victoria.

Day 10: HERE TODAY - Cold IPA

Let's call this Day-4, Part-Deux. Boring and overly hopped with no redeeming qualities.
At least I'm livin that #7.2Lyfe!! (Due to the content of Booze-ohol... Being 7.2%......)

Day 11: ESB1 - Can Conditioned ESB

To me, "ESB" stands for Extra Special Bitter, but that's not what this is. Maybe this is ExtraSlowBeer!!? That's prolly it? They produced a beer for the most legendary Beyond member! And, I have no idea what "can conditioned" means. I certainly would have thought that it meant something more like naturally carbonated, in the can, so you'd end up with some sludge like you would with an old-school home-brewed beer. Also not here... So I don't know WtF is going on up in hurr!




What I can tell you, is that it's a long way from exciting. It is absolutely fine and I have no issues with it, but it is not special and is not festive.

The best thing going for this was the write-up on the side of the can (right where it should have been telling me about "ESB") and instead had some interesting facts about (obviously?) Pirate Radio. Long story, short - it started in the UK during the 60's from boats that were playing music the BBC would not have. They were not illegal because they were broadcasting from international waters.

[U]Day 12 of 12[U]: THE JUDGMENT - Belgian Golden Strong Ale

^They spelled it that dumb way, not me! Then they spelled it correctly on the side of the can. It's JUDGEMENT... Anyways... Strong? Yes. 10.5% is a kick-in-the-dick! It's pretty amazing that this thing doesn't taste like someone poured more than 2 full ounces of vodka into your beer. Literally, I did the marth. While it's chock full o' spirits, it is lacking the Christmas Spirit.

It's good, but like a La Fin du Monde, it's a long way from a go-to beer for a round of golf or one that you would sneak into a Dairy Queen to accompany your Ultimate Grillburger. Say, did you know DQ is a Berkshire Hathaway company? Seems odd. I bet you didn't! I met a guy who snuck a beer into a Dairy Queen with his future in-laws (and further future ex-in-laws). I wonder what he's doing, this evening. What a hilarious and pathetically odd thing to do. I like the life I chose, better.



Thanks for stopping by to read.
Merry Christmas!

Best review of the bunch.

Insanity bump!

@Buster check this shit out! Vine Arts Liquor in Beltline has 3 of these things on their floor, right meow!! Beautiful store, as well.
This is unpossible that someone would still have these, but I guess this tiny boutique got a late shipment.

You know what they say, if you can't find fresh beer at least make sure it's been stored without refrigeration....

Goes well with light cheddar smokies and burnt duck
