Poolside and the selection of brews is minimal, so this buds for me. In an aluminum bottle that looks like a thermos or artillery ammo. I guess they don't want any broken glass for tenderfoots to tread on, fair enough. At least it will keep the quaff cold on a...
I met Gretzky once. Many years ago, he was coaching the Coyotes and we were invited to meet him and watch him line up the team. He was quiet spoken, not a fire and brimstone coach, and when he spoke to those players you could hear a pin drop, he garnered respect. His...
This brew is Mill Street heralding Hogtown’s home town heroes. A Blue Wave for the Blue Jays, World Series back to back champs 1992 and 1993, seems like only yesterday.* Maybe this year they can return to their former glory? I had a pre-season game on the tube so...
Great name. I had one watching Sunday night football. This American Pale Ale was OK, crisp, maybe a bit too crisp but I expect that is driven more by the fruit than the hops. I assume you grow accustom to that after 3 or 4. I have one Noon left in the fridge, saving...
On the beer can there is a picture of a nice big Muskoka chair on the dock with a frosty brew on the chair arm. A bit of a breeze, birds in the air, all very summery and relaxing. But what’s wrong with this picture? Let me tell you. In the background there is a canoe...

Definition of premium: Relating to or denoting a commodity or product of superior quality. I guess that is what they are trying to convince us of here. Do you ever get the feeling that the word “premium”, like many other special descriptors (the word special comes to...
Is a red ale the poor (or pour) cousin of an amber? Is calling a red ale Ember false advertising? Or am I just easily confused? If you answered yes to all of the above you are probably right. It may be unfair to compare a red to an amber, but who ever said life was...
I have certain expectations with a Pale Ale, which this brew did not meet. Unfortunately this ale isn’t as smooth on ice as the Great One was. In the world of hockey I wouldn’t put this ale in front of the net, I would put it in the corners, a bit chippy and rough....
Is this another red trying to pass itself off as an amber (see Ember review)? Is it a red or is it an amber? Neither, it’s Ambear. Looks pretty dark to me, I certainly wasn’t seeing red. Nice pour, dark with a bright white head, it looked so pretty I had to take a...
