Scotch-Irish Sgt Major IPA
Scotch-Irish makes some mighty impressive brews. An Imperial Stout that assults your taste buds, a Porter that is much bigger then it's stubby bottle, and an IPA that sort of kicks your teeth out in a way that you might …
Anchor Brewing Co. Liberty Ale
The "Other" Anchor Brewing Co. beer easily available via our friend and champion the LCBO. An American-style IPA that I am desperately in love with. Like, this review could get indecent. I should have an "I certify that …
Here we go again: Sleeman Clear
Indeed, here we go again. Once more, I put my credibility, health and sanity on the line, to benefit you, dear reader. I believe that this was the first "ultra light" beer (at least in Ontario). It's been around for …

Rogue Yellow Snow IPA
Ah Rogue, is there a cooler brewery in the USA? Probably, but we sad Ontarians will never know unless we go there, or someplace with better access to beer (like Volo). Still, Yellow Snow IPA is a great example of what …

Anchor Steam Beer
Anchor Brewing is an old and iconic brewery in San Francisco. "Steam Beer" seems to be a name given to early beers brewed on the West Coast of the USA, and Anchor's version is textbook. Poured from a 355ml bottle with a …

@NotesOnABeermat that's funny, I just picked up two growlers of peculiar for the tasting I'm doing today about an hour ago.

@NotesOnABeermat cheap? We had to pay him CC championship level bribes..... The cost of promotion I guess.
Oh those crazy Scots
The world has a new strongest beer. In an on-going battle with a German brewer, Schorschbrau, Scotland's BrewDog has unleashed the cleverly named "Sink the Bismark", the world's strongest beer (for now), weighing-in at …

@NotesOnABeermat I'm very nervous about the outcome of today's game. You might have bragging rights by this afternoon...
Neustadt 10W30
This wonderful English style brown ale, from Neustadt Ontario, has it's pedigree to be sure. Winning silver in both the CBAs and World Beer Cup in 2004, the brewery's business profile was also selected to represent …
Biere et Compagnie - Volo
Sorry, but I guess like they say, "Better late then never". To be honest, if you knew this event was happening and you missed it, you could have guessed it would have been awesome, if you were there, you will hardly need …
Church-Key Brewing
Ahhhhh, long weekends. Is there anything that warms a Canadian's heart more then piling into a car and driving to a cottage? In my case, yes. Knowing that I can stop in at Church-Key Brewing ups my temp by at least one …

Catching Up
Hey there, Okay, so first off, I'm still alive after the 67 experience. Tough, you know? I just reviewed the empties that I really need to return, and it occurs to me that I need to be more mentally aware of which LCBOs …
Molson 67 - Yeah, that's right.
Hello and welcome. As nearly everyone who has viewed this article recently arrived via Google using the search "how many calories in Molson 67" (or something along those lines), here's the answer. 67. As in, there are 67 …
Thanks, Louis
Today, January 28, in 1873, Louis Pasteur patented a lesser known type of pasturization (milk, being the big one). Being a chap not unaccustomed to the bottom of a pint glass, he knew the possibilities his heat-process …
