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...

Flying Monkeys, purveyors of fine IPAs. But can they brew a lager? When I saw this beer on the shelf I had to try it out. I have been impressed with the FM IPA offerings I have tried to date so I was eager to see how they handled a lager. On the can it poses a deep...
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...
Mill St. has certainly embraced the healthy beer drinking* market, with another in their line of Organic offerings. I like Mill St and their beers, particularly their amber lager, so I set the bar (pun intended) high for them. Nice summer evening, chilled glass and a...
Perth Brewery says the last fatal duel with firearms in Canada* was fought in 1833 in Perth, Ontario. I imagine that in the days of dueling with firearms every duel was the last duel for at least one participant. Even if it wasn’t fatal, if I lost a duel I wouldn’t be...
