Gods, growing up and starting my momentous drinking career in Finland in the 90s was horrible. Only cheap lager, every brand interchangeable. Thanks god they started selling Sandels at some point, made drinking a bit more enjoyable. Since moving to the US, I haven't touched lagers, not even microbrew versions thereof. I've noticed during my recent visits that thankfully there seems to be a craft beer boom of sorts in Finland. I've had excellent beer brewed by Stadin Panimo, Malmgard and Suomenlinnan panimo. Looking forward to visiting Villi Waino in Helsinki when I'm there in August. Finding a strong rye beer is on my wishlist.

 
As it happens I have some leftover Sandels in my fridge from the midsummer fest. There are some nice smaller breweries in Finland, for example the Prykmestar beers from Vakka-Suomen Panimo are mostly fine.

I have been deprived of my Audeze LCD-2 for a couple weeks now as they have been out for repair (dead left driver) and I've been using my Grado SR325is cans in the interim. This album sounds so damn good through them. I've been hooked on it for a while.

Have you tried North East Brewing Company's Pranqster? Probably the best Belgian style beer made in the US, one of my all-time favorites (which reminds me to stock up for the weekend).


Yes, it's pretty good. I still think the Belgian versions of "devil beer" like Duvel, Lucifer, etc. are better.

Yeah, they pretty much rule. Just about every band from Colorado is awesome. It's my home state (born and raised in Denver), and the metal scene has been great there for more than 20 years. I used to go to multiple death metal and punk concerts a month and still couldn't see every band I wanted to who came to town.

VoP needs to put out another full length!

Looking forward to this

Metal Rules \m/ \m/

With that out of the way, with beer as with most things in life your taste governs your opinion.  I really like Belgian beer haven't found any breweries in the US that come close to making a good Belgian beer, and I've tried a lot from my local bottle shop which stocks 1,000+ beers. As always YMMV.

I noticed you started following me on Bandcamp (Jon)... That a coincidence? If so, that's pretty funny.

Only 1300 copies in vinyl.



Sounds a little like Venom. Lol
