Helles*, well I’ll be Amster-damned. What kind of a profanity laced brew is this anyway? We usually save the profanity for the review. “Hell”* of a pour (bright golden), as one would expect, with enough head to reach the rim. Mild malt aroma, not very pronounced. A...
Its golf season for 28 NHL teams so I thought a golf themed brew might be just the ticket to commiserate my Leafs early departure from the race for the Stanley Cup. Now they are aiming for the cup rather than playing for it. As far as my own golf game goes I keep...
As I poured this Czech Tap Lager I found myself reminiscing about afternoons or evenings (sometimes the afternoons magically morphed into evenings) at the Tap Room, trays of cold draft in those small pilsner glasses. If you had a thirst on you would only pick that...
Fishing season started yesterday but apparently no one told the fish that. Today was a different story and the fish were on board, if you know what I mean. For you conservationist have no fear, I catch and release and I even give them a little pat on the back before I...
Going out to dinner, how about Italian. But not some cheesy pizza joint, we are going some place fancy, like with “Roma” or “Garden” in the name. Classy. I usually order spaghetti with mushrooms because I am such a fun guy. The waiter asks you what type of wine you...

All you Star Wars* geeks will recognize the name of this brew. In the immortal words of Yoda (George Lucas actually) “Do or not do, there is no try.” Sawdust tells us that “a long time ago in a brewery far far away a lager was brewed for the very first time….”....
Stella, Stella. Was Stanley Kowalski ( Marlon Brando) making an impassioned plea to win his wife back, * or did he just have a powerful thirst for a frosty brewskie? We would expect the former but you never know. The star of Artois. Artois is a region in Northern...
This is a light, refreshing brew that can be maintained throughout the long NCAA tournament without issue. Light in colour and also taste, it would actually make a pretty good summer beer as well. One of the main claims to fame for this brew is that the can is 568 ml...
Ok, have mentioned this once or twice before, but these Craft Beer makers are a generally forthright and honest bunch. If they have something different about their beer … they usually tell you about it right on the can. In this case the sub-heading is “Flavoured...
