Friday Beer Break with Fearless Fred — Amsterdam BrewHouse Food Pairing

Today, we hooked up with Iain McOustra again, and ate a bunch of awesome food paired with stellar beers.  Hard living, I know….

Friday Beer Break with Fearless Fred — Amsterdam BrewHouse Tasting Flight

Today, Fred and Chris got to hang out with Iain McOustra, Head Brewer at the Amsterdam BrewHouse. They got to enjoy the patio, as well as a flight of the excellent beers available.

Friday Beer Break with Fearless Fred — Amsterdam De Wallen

So we’re totally stoked to have Amsterdam join us in partnership for the beer break for the next few weeks!  And of course, a big thanks to our friends at Toronto’s Festival of Beer for all the fun these past few months.  Onward! Today Fred and Chris were hanging out with Iain McOustra, head brewer […]

Maverick and Gose — Amsterdam Brewing Co and Great Lakes Brewery

You might recall a few weeks back I wrote about how Maverick and Gose was about to become the first all-Ontario collaboration to hit the LCBO.  Well, after the  usual LCBO bureaucratic hiccup, it is rolling out! If you want me to save you some time, Gose is a style you can be forgiven for […]

Fracture Double IPA — Amsterdam Brewing Co.

I love hops, and I hope you do too.  In fact, I have three hop plants on order from Toronto Brewing as we speak.  I also have a hop vine at my mother’s house.  So, you would assume that I was a pretty big hop head.  Give me the biggest, brashest, hoppiest thing you can […]

Lady Stavoren Wheat Wine — Amsterdam Brewing Co.

It’s always nice when I’m handed a beer, that is a style I’m not familiar with.  I admit, it happens less these days then, say, three years ago.  But when it does, it reminds me how awesome the beer world is.  I felt this a while ago when Kody at Amsterdam grabbed me a bottle […]

Maverick and Gose

It’s official: the LCBO will see it’s first collaborative-brew from Ontario brewers (having had Brooklyn/Schneider’s Hopfenweisse), with the release of Amsterdam/Great Lakes Maverick and Gose.  What’s extra crazy, is it’s a gose, that old-fashioned, slightly salty tart beer.  A big day for GTA brewing! Look for it at LCBOs starting next week, $6.95/500ml bottle! It’s […]

Goedemorgen — Amsterdam Brewing Co.

Three years ago, if you had asked me about Amsterdam Brewing, I would have talked about their excellent quality, their awesome staff, and the (large) part they played in my journey into craft beer.  I would not have talked about their cutting edge brews, pushing the culture of brewing in the city.  Great Lakes Brewery, […]

Brewmance Episode 3: Sharing is Caring

Well, last month’s Brewmance wasn’t a home run, but this month, we’ve got Iain McOustra from Amsterdam Brewing Co. and a big old jug of Brettanomyces Bruxellensis.  Indeed, we’re going with a 100% brett pale ale, and a huge shot of fruity hops to finish it.  Full video below, and recipe (sort of) there after.

Market Pale Ale — Amsterdam Brewing Co.

One of the best parts of spring returning, is the return of the dozens of farmer’s markets around Toronto. Nothing is better than wandering around, seeing neighbours, and meeting the people who grow your produce. I take my kids to St Lawrence Market most Saturday mornings, but through the summer month, I alternate weekly, and […]
