Its golf season for 28 NHL teams so I thought a golf themed brew might be just the ticket to commiserate my Leafs early departure from the race for the Stanley Cup. Now they are aiming for the cup rather than playing for it. As far as my own golf game goes I keep...
A hazy New England style brew that packs a surprising amount of flavour for a low alcohol beer. This beer suits me perfectly. I do like a hoppy IPA and the New England style is one of my favs. You are getting a great tangy taste with some fruit notes. … I honestly...
As I poured this Czech Tap Lager I found myself reminiscing about afternoons or evenings (sometimes the afternoons magically morphed into evenings) at the Tap Room, trays of cold draft in those small pilsner glasses. If you had a thirst on you would only pick that...
The name the North Portal is in reference to the entrance to the NORAD North Bay Underground Complex, a bunker built in the 1960's * to house a series of super computers whose purpose was to allow Canada and the USA to coordinate a military response in case of an...
On the can it says “hazy, juicy, tropical”. Looks like they took care of my review for me. Yep, that’s what it is alright. It says “this Tasty IPA is on the up and up”*. But is it good? And what’s with the Welly blimp (zeppelin, airship) on the can, flying through a...

My old buddy JT once said he never met a Sawdust beer he didn’t like. I second that emotion*. And as far as I’m concerned I don’t think I ever met an Amber I didn’t like. But once you start adding things to ambers, you enter the danger zone and I’m not talking about a...
Fishing season started yesterday but apparently no one told the fish that. Today was a different story and the fish were on board, if you know what I mean. For you conservationist have no fear, I catch and release and I even give them a little pat on the back before I...
It was cloudy when I cracked open this brew, then the sky cleared. Coincidence? Of course it was. I thought of calling this review Cloudy with a Chance of Hops but there are at least three beers with that name so I didn’t want to confuse the issue. So I finished my...
A starter beer? To introduce new beer drinkers to the joys of drinking beer? No. Well, is it an introduction to IPAs? That makes sense, since it is a session IPA. No, that’s not it either. I had to refer to the verbiage on the can to find out that it’s a sports...
