One Million Sorries
I cannot say enough how sorry I am. I supported a server company, and they pretty much took advantage of my love. I was burned. They left me out to dry, and you all have been without my witty insightful posts for nearly …
Toronto Festival of Beer - Contest
So, what are some of the flagship beer events in Toronto? Certainly, Toronto Beer Week made some serious waves last year, in it's inaugural session. Speaking of which, Session99 followed up on the successes of that …
2XIPA - Southern Tier Brewing Co.
So I mentioned this one in my run-down of the LCBO's summer beer release. It is a double or imperial IPA (sorry Stephen), from Southern Tier, a highly respected brewery in Lakewood, New York. Okay, it's currently 32C at …
Best Business Bars in the USA
So, while it's probably no surprise I spend a lot of time in bars for the sake of this little bloggy, you might not realize it, but I also do a lot of business in bars for my day job, as a web developer. This is mainly …
Beer Talk on Edge 102
So, I didn't want to mention it, as it was one of those things I was a little afraid wouldn't happen, but last Friday I was lucky enough to sit down with "Fearless" Fred Kennedy, the afternoon drive guy on Edge 102.1. …
Rickard's Blonde
So in a little package from my friends at Molson, I received this alongside Sublime 67, for me to see if I wanted to review. Rickard's has obviously been on my radar for some time. Red was one of the early "craft" beers …
Summer Festival of Craftbeer - The Only Cafe
For those of you following along, you will know I work with Castro's Lounge, in the Beach. If you're familiar with the beer scene in Toronto, you will know that there is another bar, not too far away, that has a very …
Golden Rule - Short's Brewing Co.
Another bottle my dear Mum brought me from Michigan (thanks again, Mum!), so yeah, you won't find this at the LCBO, sorry. Short's is a very well-respected brewery in Michigan. I thought Golden Rule was a good choice …
Canadian 67 Sublime - Molson Coors Canada
Okay, I know what a lot of you are saying. I definitely focus on craftbeer on my blog, but here's the thing: I'm completely able to review anything, and remain fairly objective. I appreciate that there is a variety of …
Open July First
[caption id="attachment_1529" align="alignleft" width="225" caption="Ka-Pow!"][/caption] Alack and alas, too often do I find myself on a National or Provincial holiday in want of beer. Why? Well, because I don't plan …
Rescousse Altbeir - Dieu du Ciel!
Ah, the joys of friends who both travel and like beer. A while back, Matt Caldwell (onebeeratatime.wordpress.com) was in La Belle Province, and brought me back a lovely little stash of beers. One of them was Rescousse …
The USA drawn by breweries
I must admit, I do like good infographics. And, of course, I like beer. So this seems to be a natural fit. Of course, it's the USA, but it's a good starting point if you're traveling to a state where you don't know a …
Beau’s Celebrates 5th Birthday with Beer-to-Energy Project
Just in from Beau's; as if they were sickeningly awesome already. Yeah, let's go solar. By the way, the Festivale Plus Sticke Alt that is part of this series is insanely good. “Green Futures” Program will help beer …
Garrett Oliver - Brooklyn Brewery
So, many of you will know that last week was Ontario Craft Brewer's Week (OCB Week). A variety of publicans and brewers across Ontario hosted events celebrating our brewing culture, and introducing people to new and …
Hawaiian Style Pale Ale - Spearhead Brewing Co.
As you've probably heard if you follow these types of blogs in Toronto, Spearhead Brewing has launched their first beer, their Hawaiian Style Pale Ale, just in time for OCB week. It was this time last year (actually, …
IPA Impériale - Microbrasserie du Lièvre
My wife goes out for a bachelorette (or a hen party, if you prefer), and what do I do with my solo evening in? Watch Ronin? Play guitar for 5 hours straight? Sit on the balcony smoking a cigar and reading a book? Ogle a …
Detroit Special Export - Detroit Brewing Co.
As annoying as it is when family goes someplace nice and doesn't take you with them (I haven't been taken on a family vacation since I was 15, or about half my life), it is nice when your Mum stops on her way back from …
Johnny Simcoe A.P.A. - Great Lakes Brewery
I almost feel like it's silly mentioning, but I guess you can't say it enough. I love Great Lakes Brewery. Mike Lackey at Great Lakes is producing some amazing wonderful beers. Now with Adrian (formerly of Black Oak) …
Things you need to know today - Beer News - June 15th 2011
Not surprisingly, there is a lot of beer news in and around Toronto. It's summer, go figure. I'm likely going to miss some things here, so I'll edit and revise and generally make things right, but feel free to remind me …
Somersby Cider Launch - The Monk's Table
It's really worth mentioning upfront, that by day, I am under the employ of The Monk's Table. As a web/social media guy, I sorted out their website and keep up their social media channels. I only mention this, as I have …
