This brew is Mill Street heralding Hogtown’s home town heroes. A Blue Wave for the Blue Jays, World Series back to back champs 1992 and 1993, seems like only yesterday.* Maybe this year they can return to their former glory? I had a pre-season game on the tube so...
Winner winner, chicken dinner. This Oktoberfest from Collingwood special is my favourite beer of the week! On the can it says strong beer at 5.8% but it isn’t benching 250 if you know what I mean, it goes down smooth. Back in the day a stubby Brador at 6.2% was the...
Definition of premium: Relating to or denoting a commodity or product of superior quality. I guess that is what they are trying to convince us of here. Do you ever get the feeling that the word “premium”, like many other special descriptors (the word special comes to...
I remember having a Side Launch Midnight Lager a while ago, dark and smooth as silk, delicious. Well it seems like they put all their smooth in their Midnight Lager, because there was definitely no smooth left for their Northbound Lager. Flavourful but not the...
Lincoln Lager? Not sure where the name came from* so I thought I would check as to whether Abraham Lincoln ever drank beer. According to an absolutely dependable and unimpeachable information source (Google) “Lincoln did for a time drink lager beer on the advice of a...

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...
