No, this isn’t a new Netflix “Original” movie title or a Marvel franchise. By the way, I think Netflix Original is an oxymoron. Isn’t every one of those movies just a remake of an older movie with less expensive actors? I guess if you are under 40 you probably don’t...
Yes, this is a German beer. They claim to have been brewing beer since 1417 (the year not the time) and perhaps this Munich Lager was brewed in some shape or form even before that “by the monks” which is a rough translation of what the name Munich was derived from. ...
Two German beers in one week. What is this, Octoberfest in May? A German pilsner named German Pilsner. I wonder who won the “name the beer” contest. So I pour this German pilsner (named German Pilsner) and it foams up like it’s a fire extinguisher. A heady brew for...
A pilsner style lager. Hoppy and crisp they say, sounds like an IPA. Can we squeeze anymore brew types in there? I know for sure it isn’t a stout. Might as well just call it beer. Apparently Gravenhurst was a training center for Norwegian Airmen during world war two....
Barley Days promises us a hoppy good time with their Brülesque Pale Ale, West Coast style. I must admit I am impressed by this Picton based brewery. I recently sampled and enjoyed their County Style Pilsner. With Brülesque they are batting two out of two for me so...
Not sure what the exceedingly slim gentleman in the sombrero on the can represents? Mexican hops? It certainly seems that he has had a few bad days himself, culminating in his ultimate demise. Isn’t it anatomically incorrect to have a mustache on a skeleton? Isn’t a...
Is a red ale the poor (or pour) cousin of an amber? Is calling a red ale Ember false advertising? Or am I just easily confused? If you answered yes to all of the above you are probably right. It may be unfair to compare a red to an amber, but who ever said life was...
I have certain expectations with a Pale Ale, which this brew did not meet. Unfortunately this ale isn’t as smooth on ice as the Great One was. In the world of hockey I wouldn’t put this ale in front of the net, I would put it in the corners, a bit chippy and rough....
Is this another red trying to pass itself off as an amber (see Ember review)? Is it a red or is it an amber? Neither, it’s Ambear. Looks pretty dark to me, I certainly wasn’t seeing red. Nice pour, dark with a bright white head, it looked so pretty I had to take a...
Let me start out by saying I am a Mill St. fan. 100th Meridian is one of my personal favourites. Let me also say that I couldn’t give a rat’s ass whether something is organic or not. I am all for supporting the bees, but not at the expense of the taste of my beer. So...
