feBRWary in Review


After a tasty yet slightly expensive month, Beau's feBREWary has drawn to a close.


So many good beers. I'll go into and review each one. They were all good, but some I liked more than others. Hopefully some of these can see the light of day again, possibly in an end-of-year mix pack showcasing the year's best. So now the beers:
St Luke's Verse:
Tasty, fruity and interesting. This beer kicked off the whole thing. It was my least favorite, but still a great intro to the whole thing. [had with burger]
Elmsmere's Regret:
Possibly my favorite, possibly because I love stouts. It sounds crazy: a marshmallow hemp stout. Yet Beau's makes it work, and makes it delicious. Please put this in the mix-pack at the end of the year. [had with fish and chips]
Mission Accomplished:

Beau's does IPA very well. My 'classic' is still the Muskoka Mad Tom but wow has Beau's done some good IPAs. Their 'standatard' is the Beaver River spring seasonal (out now) but they've had a few more here and there. This one deserves to be in a mix pack with Elmsmere's Regret. However, mixpacks feature only 4 bottles so....let's see what else Beau's gets up to this year. [had with: fish and chips]
Collabrewnaut:
This one was interesting, the espresso pilsner. It was quite good, I'd have it again if it came back, but I wouldn't vote for it to return in favor of Elmsmere or Mission Accomplished. My second least favorite, but does that mean I didn't like the brew. [had with: burger]
Wag the Wolf:
My 3rd and final favorite of the feBREWary releases! If I had my way, 3 of the 4 event's beers would be in a mix pack. This one is very drinkable, light, and goes well with pretty much anything [I had with fish and chips].
So there you have it! a quick run down and review of the beers I tried of feBREWary. Looking forward to the rest of the beer year, as well as what Beau's will brew. I'm thinking April sometime I'll msake a trip to the brewery and see what they have. Currently, I have: a 4 pack of lug tread, a 4 pack of Beaver River, 2 bottles of Kismeyer, 1 bottle of Hogan's Goat, and 1 bottle of Tom green Milk stout.
[I should also note that 'Kissmeyer Nordic Pale Ale' is currently my favorite beer of all time.]

The Tolkien Signature Paperback Collection: Master Listing

Image
  Recently, HarperCollins has been re-issuing most of the Tolkien titles in a new paperback style. Since that a vast majority of these share ISBNs with other covers, eventually the older covers will be replaced with the new. I wanted to provide head's up for that. If ordered via Amazon UK, Blackwell's, or Waterstones, you'll very likely have the newer/Signature cover. If possible, it may be best to actually visit  the bookstore so you can see which one they actually have on their shelves.   This post is a Master Post, collecting ISBNs of the titles released in this style. I have made them into 'groups' or 'sets' for ease of reference, as well as possibly assist in purchasing them, if one were to get more than one book at once. Over the course of time, this post will get updated. Once a new title comes to this format, I'll do a separate blog post focusing on that title; and provide it's ISBN, cover art, and description. Enough of these have come out t...

An Update

So I bet you're wondering how The Saga of Kalvel is coming.  It's going well, but slow. I'm not putting into as much time writing the series as I'd like. It's still being thought of in my head, and I'm only able to get to it part time, but I'm still planning and writing at the same time. This weekend I'm hoping to binge through some.  I'm working on the third chapter for one character, and would like to start the first chapter for another character. I begun as early as Dec. 2011, and my deadline is August of 2016, but so far I have approx about 40 completed manuscript pages that I'm thinking of going back to until the first draft is completely done.  Now. That's manuscript pages.  If I were total everything I'd ever written about Kalvel, it would be closer to around 100 (give or takr about 15 either direction, some things are in various states.) I've said before and again that the most difficult vo...
