On Ice

On Ice

Sitting outside in the freezing cold quaffing stubby brewksies before the high school dances back in the day, when climate change hadn’t turned our winters into the northern tropics, was our first experience with ice beers. Little did we know that the very condition...

Expect the Unexpected

Expect the Unexpected

Foxy, shifty, wily, crafty and now 30% sneakier! Sneaky weasel sounds a bit redundant doesn’t it? I mean weasels in general are known for being sneaky. Maybe this should be called Sneakier Weasel which would align well the claim of an additional 30% of sneakiness in...

Liquid black forest cake like taste. Somewhat watery and flat, A slightly bitter finish but not distasteful. If it came only in a six-pack I wouldn’t buy it. Tonight after this beer it is time to switch to red wine.

Faxe Check

Faxe Check

Joe Friday and George Thorogood are at the bar. George says, “Hey Joe, how about one bourbon, one scotch and one beer?” Joe Friday just shakes his head at his drinking buddy and looks to the lady behind the bar and says “Just the Faxe, Ma’am.”* Poured this big brown...

I decided to wait 24 hours before writing this review so I could tone down my distaste for this brew. I don’t think I have ever poured a craft beer with no head. I am not sure where the slightly muted golden colour comes from, but it isn’t from the flavour, or to be...

It was one of those days, so it called for one of those beers.  A strong beer that is. The can caught my eye. It seems their only claim to fame is that they are strong beer, no comments on taste, pour, hops, just 7.1% in the largest font on the can. A beer with a...

This Dog Can Hunt

This Dog Can Hunt

I bought this can unaware of where the name Puppers came from. I figured a golden retriever and a golden lager? I haven’t seen the show Letterkenny but apparently Puppers beer is the brew of choice of the characters on the show. An entirely fictitious brand for the...

Dead and Berried

It advertises a bready malt backbone with a cranberry punch. Well, the bread is stale and the cranberries taste tinny. Maybe they got a deal on canned cranberries from WWII? I actually checked the bottom to see if this can was beyond its best before date. This beer is...

Hit the Showers

Hit the Showers

A bit of a theme going on here between the beer name and the brewery, so it seemed like a good brew to have while watching the Leafs. Unfortunately, the game was postponed and perhaps this tasting should have been as well. Nice light golden pour, minimal head even...

Clear the Decks

Clear the Decks

For years Steam Whistle had the motto “Do One Thing and Do It Really Really Well”. I will ignore the redundant adjective and focus on their message, which was that they brew one beer, their premium pilsner, and they do that very well. I would tend to agree with that...
