Anniversary Pilsner - Old Credit Brewing Co. Ltd.
So this past week I found myself in Port Credit, meeting a new potential client, and also connecting with an old friend before the work-meeting. The work stuff went well, and the coffee with a friend (Rob), was also …
Russian Gun Imperial Stout - Grand River Brewing

Stonewall Stout - Publican House Brewery
The pride of Peterborough (aside from those world-famous canoes), Publican House is a great little brewery, operated by the usual passionate, friendly, welcoming folks. I had no idea they made a stout when I walked …
Paddy's Irish Red - Trafalgar Ales and Meads
"We only sell what we can't drink ourselves" claims the packaging, and I must say, I can identify with that spirit. Incidentally, this is the beer I finished the night with at Cloak and Dagger last St Paddy's. So we have …

Indeed, here we go again. Once more, I put my credibility, health and sanity on the line, to benefit you, dear reader. I believe that this was the first "ultra light" beer (at least in Ontario). It's been around for …

Read about this in Great Lakes email newsletter (email them to sign-up info@greatlakesbeer.com), and saw some bottles on the shelf at Queen & Coxwell LCBO. Pours a honey-yellow, with a nice foamy head, and active …
Why I love Beau's - Part One
Because they are an awesome brewery, doing awesome awesomeness. End of blog. Okay, I'm told I need to say more. So on Monday, a kindly gentleman wandered into Castro's and took a seat at table 101. I always like people …
