I have deemed this St. Patrick’s Week for the simple reason that there are too many great Irish beers to sample in just one day if you aren’t Irish. So on St. Patrick’s Day Eve I decided to sample a Strong Patrick, a special edition of Irish style red ale by Beau’s. A...
Hot day, cold IPA. I’m a poet and I didn’t realize it. Not an ISA but an IPA, with the 6.5% ABV to prove it. TMA (too many acronyms). Look out, its 6.5%. Nice pour, good looking beer. Frosty glass with a bit of condensation running down the side. A pretty pint for...
What is a hybrid human/alligator doing log rolling (perhaps he is a logger/ lager) on a Northern Ontario Lake? Where does the woodchuck come in? Is he off somewhere chucking wood or did the alligator eat him? What the hell is a triticale? I think need a PhD in...

A Lil’ IPA? A lil' lighter, a lil' crisper, a lil’ short on letters maybe? And what the hell kind of name is Gnarnia? Never heard of such a thing. And after conserving letters on lil’ now with a silent G they waste one on Gnarnia? I had to look it up. A slang...
It’s possible that they changed the graphics and look of this brew, but I enjoyed this strong IPA. Jumbo flavour, multiple flavours, yet smooth and delicious. I would have this one again, and again. R.A.
I always thought a dead man’s switch, apart from being an outdated and politically incorrect gender specific term, was designed to shut down a machine if the operator dies or passes out. I am not sure what it has to do with a clothespin, let alone a beer. They say the...
According to the can this beer is “inspired by local adventure spots, the Bruce Trail and Fathom Five National Marine Park.” According to the can you can “get to know the neighbourly feel of a small village.” And according to the can in very small print, this beer was...
