COMDB have had mixed results with the Collingwood Freestyle Series. Oktoberfiest is an excellent amber, Charm and Wit was neither charming nor witty. Their Double Chocolate Milkshake Porter was rated highly by RA, who no one would describe as sweet, but he definitely...
Well sign me up for the mission to Mars if this constitutes rations in space. It is very hoppy which is to my taste. Labelled as a West Coast IP Kviek - which is the type of yeast they used. Personally, I think it sounds more like the name of some of the equipment...
The hopster on the can seems to be a bit of a hop head. I always thought the term hop head referred to a drug addict, but put into context a more modern definition could also be a beer enthusiast. Let’s stick with the later definition for this review. A nice golden...
This is a surprising flavourful beer for a Session Ale. Not really sure how they managed to get 45 IBU with the relatively low alcohol - but it is very good. I guess the pig is part of the local fair? The brewery trademark has a tractor driven by a pig as well - so...
Railway City Brewery almost always delivers great taste and this IPA is no exception. It is a bold flavour that will really wake up your taste buds ... even cranky old men's taste buds! I first tried one a couple of years ago, and I still come back to it. I've been to...

This IPA from Railway city is full of flavour you would expect from one of my favourite breweries in the province. It doesn’t quite stack up to the Dead Elephant which is another IPA from Railway City – as it has a slightly fruitier taste that works on a hot summer...
I’ve noticed a trend lately for marketers to try to try to make you feel good for doing something you were going to do anyways. The last one was Coors with their drink beer to save water campaign. Here is Lake of Bays with a similar “do good” pitch … you can drink the...
I am not a fan of using the name Champagne to refer to beer. If I wanted Champagne, I’m not looking at a can from Nine Locks Brewing for Christ's sake. Maybe they named it after looking at the beer in the glass – it does have a colour that resembles Champagne. But...
This IPA from a British brewery might surprise you at first taste. It has a rich red colour and a bite on the first taste that will make you think it's an Ale, not an IPA. The citrus flavour that has become pretty common in North American IPAs is missing and the...
