Normally an ale, this blonde is lagered and Henderson is not calling it an ale. I had someone try to explain the variation that would make for a lagered Blonde - but I started getting cranky and couldn't follow the explanation. I guess that's why I drink and review...
Perhaps it’s time for another COMDB beer naming party to help out Brock Street with their beer name writer’s block. And is Brock Street really the most refreshing street in Canada, as they so brashly claim to be? I can’t help but wonder if this is a direct challenge...
Looking for craft beer at the store can feel like you're judging an art exhibition. There are a myriad of colours and life-style images ranging from group of seven majestic pine outdoor scenes to art deco to graphic arts. You can find yourself drawn to the image which...
My old buddy Fonger got all excited when he heard I was reviewing sweet grass. I guess he was thinking of something other than this golden ale. Maybe he was thinking of Sweet Leaf (you introduced me to my mind) from the golden age of grass and his rocking the Black...

Smith Falls* Ontario. South of Highway 7. The third degree is what I get from the Morality Department (the missus) after a weekend at JT’s cottage, but I am guessing the brewery name Four Degrees is about the four owners all graduating from university and using their...
I doubt that beer, even really good beer, has ever played a prominent role in sustaining a long term marriage. More likely the opposite is true. So what is a brewer going to tell me about being hitched*. I’ve been at it for almost 40 years and I’ll be damned if I can...
A perfectly poured pint perhaps? A pretty pour for sure. I need a longer arm to give myself a proper pat on the back for that pour. It’s beer-eautiful. This Big Rig Gold has a malt bread aroma, you can tell there is flavour galore waiting at the door. This is a...
