Well it’s New Brew Tuesday (okay it was…), and I’m flying by the seat of my pants! As I type this, I’m actually at a launch party of Alexander Keith’s new Hop Series Cascade Hop Ale at the Duke of Westminster. Now, let’s just get this out of the way upfront: Yes, I know Keith’s […]

St Ambroise Pale Ale — McAuslan Brewery
I was seriously shocked when I checked and discovered I had never actually reviewed McAuslan’s St Ambroise Pale Ale. I mean, I drink it frequently, both in bottles and on draught. I often sing it’s praises to others, and feel that it is one of the best English-style pale ales available in Ontario, if not […]
Augusta Ale — Kensington Brewing Co.
I had a startling realization ta few days ago, as I grabbed a couple of beers for the weekend: one of my new standard beers, which I’ve been drinking on draught for what feels like ages, is a beer I’ve never actually reviewed. Indeed, I interviewed Brock Shepherd a year and a half ago about […]
Rye Pale Ale – Cameron’s Brewing Company
So, if you’re following along, you might already know this, but indulge me. Rye Pale Ales are kind of a big deal. Like, maybe not quite the Merlot of the 2012 beer world, but maybe. Time will tell. The good news is, I’ve had 3 so far this year (I think, possibly more) and they’ve […]
Conductors Craft Ale – Junction Craft Brewing
If you’ve been following along with the beer scene in Toronto, you will know that there are a bunch of fairly new breweries popping up. Some are bricks and mortar (Bellwoods is now officially open!) and a few are contract breweries (including Double Trouble, who I work for). Junction is one of the latter, and […]
Pale Ale – Lake of Bays Brewing Co.
I grew up spending summers in Muskoka. As a very young fellow, it was at resorts like Delmonte in the Pines and Idylwilde (sp?) on Sparrow Lake/Severn River. I also camped at Sparrow Lake Camp. As time went by, we got a cottage outside Bala, and I started going to Muskoka Woods Sports Resort in […]
Hawaiian Style Pale Ale – Spearhead Brewing Co.
As you’ve probably heard if you follow these types of blogs in Toronto, Spearhead Brewing has launched their first beer, their Hawaiian Style Pale Ale, just in time for OCB week. It was this time last year (actually, during an OCB week event, Cass and Troy’s Pub Crawl), that I first met Dimitri van Kampen, […]
Johnny Simcoe A.P.A. – Great Lakes Brewery
I almost feel like it’s silly mentioning, but I guess you can’t say it enough. I love Great Lakes Brewery. Mike Lackey at Great Lakes is producing some amazing wonderful beers. Now with Adrian (formerly of Black Oak) taking over as Brewmaster and Plant Manager, things are going to get crazy! Many of the best […]
Black Creek Historic Brewery releases their Pale Ale at the LCBO
I’ve gotta say: I love going to Pioneer Village; I always have. So when they started an historic brewery as part of the village I was stoked. When the beers they produced were excellent, I was very excited. When their Porter became available at the LCBO, I was giddy. Now I’m running out of adjectives, […]
