Cool evening, good excuse for a dark brew by the fire, not that I need an excuse these days.* Award winning the can says. Not sure what that means anymore. These days awards are like opinions, everyone has one. In my day it was the best and the rest. According to...
Old Tomorrow did a beautiful ale which had a silhouette of Sir John A*. Maybe that's politically incorrect these days** but it was a good beer anyway. Natural flavours? That's a good thing I guess as opposed to the alternative. It definitely has a peachy aroma, with...
The name the North Portal is in reference to the entrance to the NORAD North Bay Underground Complex, a bunker built in the 1960's * to house a series of super computers whose purpose was to allow Canada and the USA to coordinate a military response in case of an...
Farmer Steve commented favourably regarding this brewery. He liked that they operated out of an old barn, and he called it “a profit making deal”, which in his vernacular is the ultimate compliment. RA has also sampled a few of their brews but this is the...

You know where Trestle Brewing Company is located? Parry Sound. You know who else comes from Parry Sound? Of course you do. Number 4 Bobby Orr. Greatest defenseman that ever laced them up. Too bad about that bad knee. After the 76 Canada’s Cup when Orr was limping...
Despite the confusing name Whiskeyjack*, I do like that they call themselves a beer company rather than a brewery. I'm not sure why that naming appeals to me, it just does. Do I have to explain everything? It’s an opinion dammit. According to the can “this beer is...
