Will this brew render a “Great Scott!* (an expression of wonder and impressiveness) or Great Scott? (an expression of shock and disgust). Old Dog brewers are hoping that this Scottie will be my new best friend. Hmmm. We shall see. A nice hazy caramel toffee like pour...
Monty’s* commemorative brew is from Tomorrow Brew Co., their old name was Old Tomorrow**, but now they are looking to the future. A dark golden approaching amber pour, with a slim trim head. A definite hint of rye in the aroma, and a touch of vanilla, both masking any...
On my way back from my East Coast armchair visit to Nova Scotia after being told to Frig Off, but I always know there is a warm welcome waiting in Bathurst, New Brunswick. Robert recommended a Mulligan from our friends at Four Rivers and there is nothing I need more...
Farmer Steve is so cheap he’s free, so when I told him the price tag on this special edition I thought he would need a tripel bypass. He settled down considerably when I let him know he wasn’t on the hook for his share, since Lake of the Woods had donated this brew to...

Once again Gateway pays tribute to local landmarks and attractions. The Cove is a small, sheltered bay and beach in the North Bay area on the pristine waters of Trout Lake. As always, the Gateway art work on the can never ceases to intrigue. There is a humanesque...
I don’t know who this guy Charlie Horse is but he sounds like a pain. The Charlie on this beer can also happens to be a centaur, to add a visual layer to the already “lame” pun. I would never profess to be an authority on half man half horse creatures but I have never...
Just how refreshing is Brock Street? Some say it is the most refreshing street in Canada, that some being Brock Street Brewery from their downtown Whitby* locale of “Historic Brock Street Est. 1855”. Will this be a refreshing red or a red flag? ...
