THE SIXTH GLASS
The Sixth Glass, a Quadrupel by Boulevard Brewing Company.
This is one of my all-time favorite ales and I'm glad to see that it's now available in six packs of bottles. It was originally only available in larger single bottles, then smaller single bottles (11 ounces? if I remember correctly), and now six packs. This more accessible format makes sense in a changing beer market. It allows for familiar presentation and a better price point. I'll take it!

Ghostly Swim 3 by various artists. Fourteen tracks on two vinyl albums. Marbled neon green and bubblegum pink.

You can always find at least one good track on a compilation album. On this collection of (mostly) instrumental electronic music, there is not a bad song; four of the tracks are excellent; and there is one track that, for me, is mind blowing.
The four standout tracks are "ggowwksstane" by Bogdan Raczynski, "Potatoe Salad" by Black Noi$e, "A NUN'S VVET DREAM" by Ouri, and "Fractured" by Gábor Lázár.
The track that I can't quite shake because I can hear it playing in my head even once it ends is "Kabeljau" by LNS. Laura Sparrow is a Vancouver, BC producer, DJ, and musician and this is a crazy, upbeat, jamming tune. It ends and I pick the needle up and place it back at the beginning of the song again.
Spectacular stuff!
