A pilsner style lager. Hoppy and crisp they say, sounds like an IPA. Can we squeeze anymore brew types in there? I know for sure it isn’t a stout. Might as well just call it beer. Apparently Gravenhurst was a training center for Norwegian Airmen during world war two....
Not sure what the exceedingly slim gentleman in the sombrero on the can represents? Mexican hops? It certainly seems that he has had a few bad days himself, culminating in his ultimate demise. Isn’t it anatomically incorrect to have a mustache on a skeleton? Isn’t a...
Woodhouse Lager Beer. So I find myself with a Woodie in my hand. They say a woodie in the hand is worth two in the bush although I would think the opposite to be true. Time to clean up this review a bit. Great looking pour. This lager has a good head on its shoulders...
This honey lager looks great in the glass, but these little cans at 355ml are more like a dose than a quaff. They look pretty small next to a 500ml Sapporo, which segues into my rant about the major Canadian brewers. Sapporo bought Sleeman in 2013, joining the likes...
There are beers that are good and beers that are great. This beer is both. I sampled this Mill St. brew, which I didn’t recognize, and I loved it. Smoothness of a lager with the full flavour of an amber. A near perfect combination. Then I read the fine print, in a...
Samuel Adams. A famous former New England patriot who was not married to a Victoria Secret supermodel. I guess in his day it might have been a model Victorian, which is quite a bit different I imagine. Some say Adams was a brewer, some say a maltster, the debate rages...
Potentially the game that decides who will be the next Stanley Cup Champion, and yet it is an insignificant game because the Leafs aren’t playing. The Habs beat the Lightning in OT, doing their best karaoke of the BeeGees “Stayin Alive”. So I pour a nice looking lager...
Another visit to Waterloo and their mysterious wild boar. I wonder if the CEO of Waterloo Brewing is Chairman of the Boar? What am I doing drinking a strong amber in the middle of summer? I enjoy a good amber and I liked Waterloo’s dark lager so when I saw their amber...
155 years on Oct 1st! They say Moosehead Breweries is Canada's oldest independent brewery, well done Moosehead! The world can always use a little more Canada. As old as Canada, and that's no easy portage. For some reason I always thought Moosehead was a Newfoundland...
I am not the most politically correct person in the world but I am trying.* One way I do that is to run some ideas past the missus. For example, not long ago I asked the wife “Have you seen what is going on with these perverted men taking advantage of women and being...
