Husband: “Last night you said I was the best!” Wife: “No dear, last night I said you tried your best.” It cooled off in the evening and the lake calmed, a sliver moon illuminated the water and it seemed like the perfect evening to break out an amber. But not just any...

What is a hybrid human/alligator doing log rolling (perhaps he is a logger/ lager) on a Northern Ontario Lake? Where does the woodchuck come in? Is he off somewhere chucking wood or did the alligator eat him? What the hell is a triticale? I think need a PhD in...
Thornbury Salmon?
I love Amber. A great beer, a great name, an adjective, a noun, an alert, a traffic light colour. Got to love Amber. I mean blue is an adjective in terms of both colour and mood, and I guess it’s a beer too, but you won’t meet many named blue unless you know Jay Z and...
Fireside Brew
Nice pour, great looking amber with a nice white head, good aroma as well. Snacks and Sunday night football on, all settled in for a positive amber experience. I am finding the difference between amber lagers and amber ales is quite noticeable. Lagers tend to be more...
Faxe Check
Joe Friday and George Thorogood are at the bar. George says, “Hey Joe, how about one bourbon, one scotch and one beer?” Joe Friday just shakes his head at his drinking buddy and looks to the lady behind the bar and says “Just the Faxe, Ma’am.”* Poured this big brown...
Big Head Farmstead
Big head usually describes the morning after, not the beer that was the cause. So is this another Amber I am going to fall for, or one that is going to leave me high and dry when we are done? Or will this one just break my heart on the first swig? Only after a...
Cross Czech
A little can of amber, Czech style nonetheless. Don't we usually get 500ml of an International brew, not an old 355ml stubby.. I tried to pronounce the name, I guess I will just call this one Czech Amber. A darker than amber pour, more like a solid brown, thin off...
Auric Amber
After a few exotic tastings of peppermint and vanilla it was a highly anticipated and welcome return to an amber. We all know that absence makes the heart grow fonder*, so I was looking forward to this Full Beard amber ale, and I was not disappointed! A nice amber...
99 Amber Ale
A double hopped amber ale. Every can supports the Wayne Gretzky Foundation. I would think that Gretzky had made enough money with all his product placements and investments that there was no need for a charity to support him but these pro athletes tend to live the...
Easy Amber
I love a good Amber and this offering from Perth Brewery is decent. But before we talk about the beer I have a bone to pick with the label. The beer is called Easy Amber. This is fine, a decent Amber should be easy drinking. But the picture on the label is a different...
