I thought my picture background was a nice touch.* This beer was recommended by my old buddy Rick. If anyone knows his craft beers it is tricky Ricky, so when he mentioned this red ale I put it on my list. Although I am not a red ale fan, a poor man’s amber I always...
What first struck me about this Czech inspired old style pilsner was how bright it is in the glass. The picture just doesn’t do it justice. How bright you ask? As bright as Einstein, Ken Jennings* and Stephen Hawking all put together! As bright as our editor thinks he...
“Water, water, everywhere, and not a drop to drink”, says Coleridge in his classic poem "The Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner".* I say who needs water when you have a Hazy Mariner IPA. The Hazy Mariner is a cloudy IPA, and according to IX Poets there is “water, water...
I am no Willy Wonka but I like me some chocolate every now and then. But would a double chocolate stout be above and beyond? I like trying all kinds of different beers. If they aren’t that good I can do a cranky review which suits my disposition. If they are good,...
When I first looked at the label on this brew my brain read Country Style, but I doubled checked and sure enough it is County Style. Is it a typo or a shout out to Picton’s Prince Edward County? Another thing about the label while we are on the subject. In Canada it...
They say it is a pilsner, it sure tastes like a lager to me. Maybe it is the malted barley and malted hops? What do I know, I am no brewer, I just like to drink the stuff. Another of Gateway’s main offerings. The numbers represent different modes of transportation,...
Big, bold and beautiful is the descriptor on the can. I’m a sucker for an all adjective alliteration* so I couldn’t resist grabbing this one off the shelf to add to my beer fridge stock. Truth be told, I didn’t look at any details before quaffing this IPA so I didn’t...
"Captain's log, stardate 41153.7. Our destination is planet Deneb IV …". I remember watching Star Trek as a kid when it first came out. I think I was 8 year’s old and at that time I thought “what a lame show, paper mache rocks, every other planet somehow has oxygen,...
What the hell kind of name is Bangkok Crosswalk? I don’t know what it has to do with beer but it kind of rolls off the tongue, I like it. They say on the can to “Be deliberate with every step” which I imagine is good advice if you are crossing a busy street in...
Not as blonde as a blonde, not as dark as a lager, a lagered blonde perhaps? Correct. This isn’t Henderson’s best. In fact Henderson’s Best is Henderson’s best, or Henderson’s best is Henderson’s Best. No matter how you say it Henderson’s Best Amber Lager is pretty...
