Northern Logger

Sleeping Giant Brewing Co.

4.9% Alcohol

Here is a transcript of my first visit to Thunder Bay.

Me: So where is this famous sleeping giant?

Cab Driver: Right there.

Me: Where?

Cab Driver: Right there, look out your left window.

Me: Where?

Cab Driver: Right there, across the bay, that’s it.

Me: That’s it?

Cab Driver: Yea, that’s it.

Me: Oh, it’s a plateau?

Cab Driver: If you say so.*

But once again I digress. Thunder Bay is a great city, after all it’s got the Sleeping Giant natural wonder and this Northern Logger ale comes from there too.

Nice fresh aroma, and a golden pour as one would expect from a golden or blonde ale. Nice thin white bubbly head. What a great taste! Easy drinking and refreshing. Not hoppy or bitter and still holds a good flavour. Crisp, clear, with a dry finish. Very enjoyable brew. This is the Golden you should be holdin’.** Great job SG brewers.

*Editor's Comment: I hope you left a good tip although knowing you I doubt it.

**Editor's Comment: A response to the Molson Golden 1980’s ad. “Make sure your holdin’ Golden.”
