If you find yourself in Halifax Nova Scotia, and you fancy a beer, you will likely be mainly presented with two options: Alpine and Keith’s. Also the usual selection of macro-junk. However, you will be in the presence of two hugely important micros: Garrison and Propeller. These guys are the real pride of Halifax. Brewing […]

Black IPA – Church-Key Brewing
If you’ve been following along with this blog for a while, you’ll know that I’m a big fan of Church-Key Brewing. While they’re small, and have a fairly limited distribution, I so get to stop in the brewery outside of Campbellford whenever we pass by. They also are available on tap at a fair number […]

Ontario Cask IPA Challenge – Bar Volo
So, as I missed round one of this great series of events, I made sure I got to round two, and not only that, but got there about an hour after it started. The format is simple, pit a variety of Ontario Cask IPAs and Pale Ales against each other in a head-to-head knock-out style […]

60 Minute IPA – Dogfish Head Craft Brewery
I nearly forgot to review this beer. It has become a regular in my life, but I find that many people have not yet tried it. This is the last of a six I bought two weeks ago when we had friends over. The first thing you should know, is that Dogfish Head is a […]
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 just pay money to have done. It feels so good, it can’t be too deviant, […]
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 I am over 18 years old”. Oh well, next time I guess. From a Chianti-shaped 650ml bottle […]
