Dan A is drinking an Opera Bar Pale Ale by 4 Pines Brewing Company at Opera Bar
Post show beer while I wait out the rain. A decent Pale Ale crusher, mild all around, some sticky lace, mandarin, moderate bitterness. Works for me.

Dan A is drinking an Orion Draft Beer (The Draft) by Orion Breweries, Ltd. at Nakano Darling
Orion draft, when fresh, is a darn good food beer. That's my review. I had 2 @ $8 AUD for happy hour and was quite pleased with myself. The whiskey hiball was an added benefit, I'm sure. You can, and have, done worse.

Dan A is drinking a Pop'n Pils by b.effect at b.social
Not really a traditional Pilsner, but pretty and a nice showcase for NZ hops. I'm still not convinced that the wine and passionfruit notes work in a lightly malted easy drinker like this is, but perhaps more research on my part is warranted. Nice space.

Dan A is drinking a Grand Cru Bruocsella Lambic Bio (2017-2018) by Brasserie Cantillon at Untappd at Home
Still, as expected. Aromatic, bretty and lemony. Nothing too extreme here, some barnyard funk. Dry across the board, no real surprises, just fine tannic sophistication. Drink now, and share with friends! Cheers to mine.

Nearly perfect for a damp and foggy winter afternoon like what this is. Gingerbread stout isn't usually my thing but is kicking right now. Thankfully this is still a stout with Gingerbread flavor, roasty malts and a creamy mouthfeel. Nice head too. Yar.
