This Boréale bitter bear from Montreal is on the hunt for hops and it looks like he’s found them. Lots of them. A heapin’ helpin’ of hops. They tell us that this IPA has an “unmistakable bitterness” and they ain’t lyin’. They tell us that this beer “celebrates...
Every hour we have a beer in our hand is a happy hour for us COM. But when a few of us can get together at Northern Maverick for a brew, during their happy hour, that’s a bonus. In the little apple for the big ball game. It was a defensive battle with some impressive...
