As I poured this beer I thought to myself, this is dark. There may be fifty shades of grey but there is one shade of dark. How dark you ask. Dark as my darkest thoughts*, well not quite that dark, but pretty dark! They have a warthog (a Pumbaa for those Disney movie...
Big bubbles, no troubles. A heady brew throughout and slightly hazy. I seem to remember the editor* had a Beau's Lager Ale on draft a few years ago and called it a confused brew. Now they have an amber lagered Ale, more confusion. Dry with a clean finish, a bit...
I once stayed at a hotel called the Urban Hip Hotel and it was neither. Anyone who is cool doesn’t call themselves cool, someone else has to. The same way that someone who is an asshole doesn’t call themselves an asshole (notice my political correctness with gender...
So this is a Country Kolsch? I have heard of Kolsch but why Country? So I went to Cowbells’ website and once I confirmed that I was over drinking age (3 times plus I figure) they let me in. So here is the story. They wanted to make a Kölsch but make it their own so...
I like international beers. Why is that you ask. Is it the unique flavours, the centuries of brewing tradition, the care and craftsmanship that goes into every beer? Nope. It is the extra 27ml I get in every can of beer versus a North American can of beer. Bonus beer!...

I had to be careful with this review, you see Farmer Steve is an old buddy and I didn’t want to offend him since he is the sensitive type. So I had to check with him first. I asked him “Do you have any daughters Farmer Steve?” He said “None that I know of.” Well that...
Saturday night and I had a beer in one hand and my salty nuts in the other hand and I was feeling good. Wait a minute, that doesn’t sound right? How about this, I had a snack ready to go and was looking forward to trying this new beer. That’s better. A dark amber...
I have been critical of CA in the past for not having more Canadian artwork on their beer labels, so this time around I must give them kudos for featuring Keight Maclean of Toronto in honour of International Women’s Day. After admiring the artwork it was time to get...
I drank this Toronto brewed Pilsner the other night while watching the Leafs beat the Canadiens in overtime, so that could be one reason why this is such a good review. Steam Whistle Brewing, the good beer folks is what the bottle says, Canada’s premier pilsner the...
