305) The Granite Brewery and Restaurant in Toronto: Hopping Mad by the Granite Brewery of Ontario: **; on cask; moderately strongly hopped; notes of citrusy lemon; very smooth; well balanced;
306) The Granite: Traditional India Pale Ale (IPA) by the Granite Brewery: *1/2; on cask; well hopped with sweet maltiness;
307) The Granite: Keefe's Irish Stout by the Granite Brewery: *1/2; dry and in the Irish style;
308) The Granite: Gin Lane Ale by the Granite Brewery: *1/2; a barley wine with notes of apple cider; very much like a wine in appearance and taste;
This was the September Cask Social. I also returned three growlers for the deposit and went home with two, which will be making their appearances in short order. I didn't think to ask if they would give me $4.00 for that growler from Duggan's Brewery that I was stuck with when they closed for good. It might be a collector's item some day, which experience teaches to translate as trading strictly on the bigger fool principal.
Forgive the repetition but every time I chalk up a number like this I feel compelled to point out any place I go to sells half pints so I am not necessarily misbehaving to the degree one might think.
