On Beer and Theology
[caption id="attachment_2150" align="alignright" width="193" caption="CS "Jack" Lewis"][/caption] Okay, some of you will know I'm a fellow of faith. And I happen to read a lot of stuff from a similar guy, a Belfast-born …
Espresso Stout - Dark Star Brewing Co.
Dark Star is an English brewery, and according to their label, they've won some nice awards. I first had this beer at the LCBO fall release tasting, and really enjoyed it. I picked up a bottle to review properly, and …
Coffee Porter - Meantime
Oh coffee porter, what are we going to do with you. You're the merlot of the beer world; flavours that should be palatable and familiar to many, and yet most people who make you do an ass job of it. I tend to stay away …

T.E.A. - Hogs Back Brewery
Don't know if this is a new high or a new low, as it's only 9:50 am, but there it is. To be fair, I've been awake since 7, so my body thinks it's at least 11. Plus I've waited about as long as I could to drink this so I …
