The Flickr Rubaeus Image Generatr

Last Friday the Tap Room had a couple new beers being tapped so we headed over to check them out. Tony tried the Hopsecutioner & the Hi-5 IPA from Terrapin Beer Company & liked both of them. (They are IPAs soooo not my favourites, that's for sure! lol) My flight consisted of 2 beers I had never had before & 2 I knew I loved. From left to right in the picture: Cypress Kriek by Abita ( First time for this one & I would drink it again!); Nitro Rubaeus by Founders (One of my all time favourites!); Blueberry Tart by Southern Tier Brewing (First & last time for this one. Nope.); and Zombie Killer by B Nektar. (Another favourite!) The tall glass on the right is Grapefruit IPA (2018) from Perrin- one of the very few IPAs that I enjoy!

On January 9, Mike proposed we visit our local shopping mall (the Westfield Brandon) so he could buy new shoes. After a round of drinks at Bahama Breeze, we decided to hear across the plaza to Brass Tap (775 Brandon Town Center) for another round of drinks, and to kill some time until our favorite local Thai restaurant opened for dinner. I decided to try something different -- a pint of Nitro Rübæus from Founders Brewing. It was quite unusual; as you can see in the photo, it took a while to settle (a bit like a Guinness in that respect). I liked it, though it was heavier than the fruit beers/ciders I normally go for.

Here is my almost all pink flight from last night! If I had been thinking about it, I would have replaced that first beer with another pink one-next time! :)

Fuego Del Otono by Jolly Pumpkin, Cherry Limeade by Odd Side Ales, Rubaeus (Nitro) by Founders, & Kriek by Lindemans.

Wishing everyone a very Happy Beltane. This is my first Rubaeus of 2015-it seemed appropriate to toast May with it. Cheers!
(PS- Please ignore the water spots on the glass!!)

Not quite as good as having a draft Rubaeus at Founders, but still VERY good!
