CryoHops™ sounds futuristic, which seems to fit what Hop Valley calls their “new age IPA”. Hop Valley* is owned by Molson Coors, so once again we pose the question, craft brew or crafty marketing? As Famer Steve is prone to say (when he is not prone) “sounds like a...
Hockey Night in Canada, and a Highlander Porter to help me cheer on my Leafs. It all starts with the pour and what can I say. It seemed to pour thick, perhaps substantial is a better descriptor. Nice tan head over black. Even DaVinci couldn't have painted as pretty a...
I bought this can unaware of where the name Puppers came from. I figured a golden retriever and a golden lager? I haven’t seen the show Letterkenny but apparently Puppers beer is the brew of choice of the characters on the show. An entirely fictitious brand for the...
With all Ontario ingredients harvested from Guelph, Alymer, Bellville and South Simcoe, Muskoka Brewery has dedicated this special edition to all the hardworking farmers. Just like those farmers and our old buddy Farmer Steve too, this beer is outstanding in its...
It advertises a bready malt backbone with a cranberry punch. Well, the bread is stale and the cranberries taste tinny. Maybe they got a deal on canned cranberries from WWII? I actually checked the bottom to see if this can was beyond its best before date. This beer is...

According to LoB, “in the heart of the forest the Spark House* stands alone”. I assume they are making reference to the unique nature of this red. It poured deep dark red, not at all hazy or bubbly. A ribbon of a white head. An aroma that seemed to be malt forward...
I love the word Bobcaygeon*, it rolls off the tongue and sounds like the name of a Louisianan bayou croc hunter. According to the Tragically Hip the sky in Bobcaygeon was dull and hypothetical. Good song but what the hell does that mean? Am I digressing again? I guess...
What could be more golden than… gold? The Sultana Gold Mine was a going concern in the Lake of the Woods area at the turn of the century (1900’s that is). John Caldwell bought the claim in 1889 and made a fortune over the next ten years but sold it in December 1899....
From the quaint hamlet of Elora and the famous Elora Gorge comes a feisty brew, Lady Friend IPA. Not sure what the name has to do with the beer or what a woman giving a bear a stiff upper cut has to do with anything let alone the price of tea in China, but that is...
