321) Home: Peculiar by the Granite Brewery of Ontario: **; this was the other two litre growler I purchased at my last visit; it pours a bit flat, as is usually the case with a growler; wine-like nose with a touch of mocha; very dark with hints of chocolate and sweet mocha;
The Granite turned twenty this year. Last year, to celebrate turning nineteen they had a terrific special going on. Anyone who visited on their nineteenth birthday received not only their first legal pint on the house, but they got to keep the glass and they took home a two litre growler of their choice (no deposit - a further four dollars ahead). My son was in town from University for his nineteenth birthday last Hallowe'en so where to do lunch was an easy decision. The best part was when they came to take his drink order. The Granite only carries their own beers on tap so with me sitting next to him and his mother sitting across he was asked what sort of beer he usually liked to drink...
The growler he chose was the Peculiar.
