Toronto Beer Week — A Survival Guide
While most people look at Toronto Beer Week as a pleasant way to indulge in some of the best beer this city has to offer, this is, perhaps, a somewhat naive view. You see, with 10 days filled with more events than you can shake a yard-glass at, it takes tough mettle to endure the […]
Stuff You Need To Know Today, September 12, 2012
Oh my golly, it’s been a busy few weeks, and there’s more than a few coming down the pipe. I’ve been doing heaps of non-beer-related stuff, which is wonderful, but not necessarily great writing on the old blog (though, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the 28 litres of tomato sauce I finished […]
LCBO Fall Release/Shipyard Feature/Halloween Specialty Line-up
It’s one of the harder parts of running a beer blog: heading down to sensory evaluation room B at the LCBO offices, to sample the specialty beer releases.

Widemouth Bottles from Molson-Coors
Remember that band Wide Mouth Mason? Yeah, me too. Remember when you realised that they were named after something your granny kept cases of in her root cellar? Yeah, me too. What does all this have to do with anything? Well, as ads I’ve seen around the city have told me, Molson-Coors has introduced Widemouth […]
Chris and Fred’s Beer Pageant — Round Three
For round three, we were joined by J.Love, who does interactive media for Corus (these videos are part of interactive, you see). He is a newly minted GTA resident, via Chicago, and is stoked to see such a vibrant brewing culture here in Southern Ontario. Being a frequent drinker in his native USA of the […]
Chris and Fred’s Beer Pageant — Round Two
Round two, and we were super happy to be joined by Maya and Becky from The Pack A.D., who were our first real guests on the beer break. Today was an Imperial Stout by Jeremy Sokorchid vs an Imperial IPA by the Brew Brothers (Josh Wagler, Steve Neal, Dave Kent, and Tim & Ben Pinder). […]
