Yes, it’s true, here in Toronto, it’s snowing like we’re in Canada or something. Shut the place down! The good news is, we still have beer. And in case you don’t — despite predictions to the contrary — the world is not over, and places like the LCBO and many breweries are open for business […]

Monday Wrap-up, November 12th 2012, Great Lakes and The Only Cafe
The silicone chip inside her head/ gets flipped to overload. Hey, how was your weekend? Mine was great thanks. Pretty full, but we’ll deal with that in a moment. I know it seems strange, given that November is normally a down month, but my golly, there was a lot going on last week. Home-brewer of […]
No Pants With Miranda — Great Lakes Brewery
After reviewing Great Lakes Brewery’s excellent 25th Anniversary Belgian Saison, which included lots of references to their No Chance With Miranda Saison, I thought it was the right time to dig into my pile of beers waiting review, and finally put some thoughts down about Miranda’s older sister, No Pants With Miranda. So first off, […]
Friday Beer Break on Edge 102.1 — August 17, 2012
So Fred was back from holiday, but off next Friday at Fan Expo, so we decided to not do the Beer Pageant today. Instead, we hung up, drank Great Lakes 25th Anniversary Belgian Saison, and cured my grumpy pants. Watch below kids.
25th Anniversary Belgian Saison — Great Lakes Brewery
Many of you will already know that Great Lakes Brewery is celebrating their 25th anniversary this year. If you didn’t, Great Lakes Brewery is celebrating their 25th anniversary this year. Now we all know. With that in mind, they have decided to release a few specialty beers to bars and the LCBO throughout the year. […]
Green Tea Ale — Great Lakes Brewery
Sometimes you have to revisit things; you don’t always “get it” on the first time around, you know? And sometimes, things change, and deserve another go. I’m not sure which of those factors might play into today’s review (or if it’s both), but whatever, it was time for me to give Great Lakes Brewery Green […]
Pan-Ontario Whiskey Barrel Aged — Beau’s, Flying Monkeys, Grand River, Great Lakes and Wellington
Phew, long enough title? So Pan-Ontario is actually a bottle from OCB Week, and I beer I drank at Session, but I got a bottle of it last time I was by Great Lakes. A blended beer organized and aged by Beau’s, to celebrate some of the finest brews in the province. So to be […]
Farmhouse Ale – Amsterdam Brewing Co & Great Lakes Brewery
As anybody involved knows, the spirit within any city’s craft beer scene is at least friendly, if not downright sexual. In addition to the stories of one brewer giving another a leg-up, the brewery staff have a tendency to hang out. To one-up each other. To form grand schemes at the bottom of big bottles. […]
OCB Week – Monday June 18th 2012
Good morning beer fans. It is indeed OCB Week, and we’ve already had more than a few excellent events over the weekend. I couldn’t walk the dogs without having them go haywire because of the smell coming from the Beach BBQ and Brew Festival. We took the family by on Saturday and had a blast. […]
No Chance With Miranda Saison – Great Lakes Brewing
So this is one of those beers. You can’t really buy it. Except when you can. But not just anywhere. In fact, almost nowhere. Let me clarify: When you can buy it, generally it’s available in bottles at the brewery (Royal York and The Gardiner). And sometimes in limited quantities at bars. Sometimes. Particularly in […]
