Charles MacLean is Master of the brews at MacLean’s, the Brewmaster of Brewmaster. I was a bit leery before sampling this beer because I am not a huge fan of English browns and MacLean’s touts this brew as an English style brown ale. So a tasting was in order to see...
These days that old 5 o’clock shadow is indeed pale, a little salt and pepper.* This beer name reminded me of my old buddy and fellow reviewer RA who can often be heard to say “It’s 4 o’clock somewhere.” Although this beer claims to be a pale ale it reminded me more...
Farmer Steve tells us that during the last snowstorm his tractor was up to the job, moving snow like a pro. Just like Farmer Steve’s Kubota, Beau’s has their tractor cranked up and working full time and full throttle on this IPA. This IPA has a very fresh citrusy...
Big head usually describes the morning after, not the beer that was the cause. So is this another Amber I am going to fall for, or one that is going to leave me high and dry when we are done? Or will this one just break my heart on the first swig? Only after a...
I am not a big fan of flavoured beers. As my old buddy JT said, “how about a beer flavoured beer?” But this cacao and candy cane stout came in my beer of the month club selection so it was sitting in the beer fridge challenging me to shed my reluctance and indulge in...

I am leery of fruit flavoured brews. But I hear that blueberries are good for you, and of course Fats Domino found his thrill up on blueberry hill, so perhaps this ale will be an exception, or even exceptional. MacLean’s had pleasantly surprised me with a very tasty...
From boundless to limitless, and now the skies the limit. At least we are starting to set achievable goals. Ironically, and perhaps mercifully, this is a limited release. This beer had a very hazy pour and a very hoppy citrus aroma, not boozy just very fresh. Thin...
Artisanal salts? Blackcurrants? Electrolytes? As I watched the Super Bowl and poured this unique sounding beer I wondered to myself whether I was going to be sampling beer or Gatorade? They describe their beer as highly electrolytic? Does that mean it removes hair?...
Greene King is a British based brewer and more. As the country’s leading pub retailer and brewer they run over 2,700 pubs, restaurants and hotels across England, Wales and Scotland. This premium ale showed up on the local LCBO shelf so I thought I would give it a...
