Beer Review: Flying Monkeys Smashbomb Atomic IPA - Barrie, ON

Flying Monkeys continue to impress me, and now that all of the legal issues are resolved and Smashbomb is finally available for sale in bottles at the LCBO, I couldn't be happier.  This has quickly become one of my favorite Canadian made beers.  I can't quite put it in the same category as of some of the US Micro heavyweights like Firestone Union Jack, 60 Minute or Greenflash West Coast IPA, but they are not far off.  Flying Monkeys have come a long way in a very short time and are easily my favorite Ontario brewer.  Robust IPA's in Canada are few and far between...keep up the good work!
