Beer with purpose. It’s not “pay it forward”, its’ “Drink It Forward”. Socially driven capitalism. They say ,and I believe them, that $.50 from every beer purchased goes to worthwhile charities.* Which led Farmer Steve to wonder “is this still a profit making deal.”...
Red Stripe’s namesake beer is an iconic pale amber and a staple diet of Canadians holidaying in Jamaica. I must admit I was wondering what a Jamaican brewer is doing brewing a stout. I didn’t picture myself quaffing a strong stout on the beach or on a “chilly” 75⁰ F*...
For some of us who are up there in years, not elevation, an aerial view is the reception we used to get on the old black and white TV from rabbit ears. Lake of Bays has a different view in mind here. So is the view from the top worth the climb? If there is a nice cold...
Boshkung say their beers are focused on cottage living. This one will be quaffed by the cottage fireplace as opposed to the dock. This small batch lager offering poured golden, closing in on amber but not quite there, and clear with a thin light white head. Malt...
Audio visual lager?? I am not going to a film festival for musicals, I just wanted a brew to enjoy during the game. Scan a bar code to check out new music? A bar code for me is the draft menu at the local pub. Doesn’t it all just seem to be some marketing ploy to...

Some pretty fancy art work on the can, almost as good as the full moon over the barn with a tractor on the Beau’s Night Märzen. On the can it says the artist is from Singapore. I guess there are no struggling artists in Canada that could use a little exposure? Not a...
A dark red pour, closing in on amber and slightly hazy. A nice fresh IPA aroma, a bit of hops a bit of citrus, it smells delicious. The first swig was a bit fizzy, not as much as my recent Ale Rousse but somewhat reminiscent. It has a subdued IPA taste with more...
When your company is Guinness you don’t have to include “Brewery” in your name, everyone knows what you are good at. And with the name Guinness also comes a high level of expectation. I was really looking forward to trying this one, thirsting with antici……………….pation....
Brewed in St. James Gate, Dublin Ireland. Established in 1759 which makes it even older than my old buddy Farmer Steve. Guinness Draught Stout. The one and only. The iconic, classic, draught. This is the one I saved for St. Patrick’s Day. I chilled a special stout...
