Why oh why oh why do I do this? All for you, friends, all for you. I know a lot of people who drink Coors Light. Most of them wouldn’t touch most of the beers I’ve reviewed on this blog. But statistics, right? Can millions of people be wrong? I suspect the easy answer is […]

Galt Knife Old Style Lager – Grand River Brewing
Hmmmm, it seems to me that I need to read labels better. I pulled this brew out of the fridge on the grounds that it is a cold grey rainy day, and a nice Scottish Old Ale would do the trick nicely. Hmmmmm, except it’s an old style lager. Like, it says right on the […]
Kellerbier – Creemore Springs
So here’s the thing. Creemore, what to say? The venerable Nick Pashely admits in “Notes on a Beermat” that he often drinks Creemore Springs Lager as a safe alternative to the Buds and Lites of the world. And I must say, I agree. Many’s the time I’ve found myself out for drinks with a group […]
Bikini Blonde Lager – Maui Brewing Co.
So my bro Andrew stopped off in Hawaii for a week on his way to Toronto from New Zealand. Jealous as I was at his good fortune, he did have the decency to bring me a pair of beers called Bikini Blonde Lager, from the Maui Brewing Co. I know nothing about the beer or […]
Classic – Baltika Breweries
I’ve spent time traveling in Russia (St. Petersburgh specifically), and drank a lot, but I don’t have any real memory what I was drinking. Chances were, a lot of it was Baltika. Poured from a 500ml bottle with freshness dates on the back label. The head was foamy and dissipated to a thin ring quickly. […]
Nobel – Christoffel
Christoffel is a cool Dutch brewery, producing a couple of very interesting regular and seasonal brews. I saw Nobel and bought it on principle, I hadn’t had it, and trusted the brewer’s reputation. The description is interesting, if not confusing. High alcohol, high hops, lager. Hmmmmmm, we’ll see. Also, it’s garnering some very good reviews. […]
Brooklyn Lager – The Brooklyn Brewery
The Brooklyn Brewery is trying to re-introduce our New York neighbours to beers the way they were pre-prohibition. Brooklyn Lager is their flag-ship brand, and is a wonderful amber lager (think Creemore, Big Wheel, etc). Poured from a 355ml bottle with best before date stamped on the neck, the beer is a dark amber, nearly […]
Tsingtao
Tsingtao is the most popular beer in China. When you consider the population of China, this is saying something. Big. Sales. So how does it drink? Poured from a green bottle with no freshness date. Beer is golden, with good carbonation, and a bit of head that disappeared faster then an election promise. Aroma is […]
Tusker – Kenya Breweries Ltd
Tusker is an African classic. Like that song by Toto. Epic, comforting, and makes you want to roll the windows down and sing at the top of your voice. Poured from that classic 500ml bottle with “Beer Only” embossed on it. Manufactured/Best Before dates marked on the bottle. The beer is golden yellow, with a […]
