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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
A Belgian beer from Bavarian born master brewer Berthold (not Helen)* Keller. I liked the clean crisp can, it stood out on the shelf so it ended up in my fridge, and from there fireside. Chilled, poured and Bob’s your uncle*. Clear golden pour, looks great in front of...
This was an odd and confusing review for me. It progressed chronologically* although perhaps not logically. Dark, black pour, but as bubbly as Doris Day. A foamy top that ruled the roost for a while. A malty aroma, not strong but distinctive. Carbonated head but no...
After reviewing Creemore’s Boundless I advanced to All or Nothing’s Limitless. Will I experience limitlessness? I am bound to, hence I am not boundless? There must be a limit to this wordplay. A nice bright golden pour, with a minimal white head. Fresh light malty...
Is it a Lager or is it a Pilsner? On the can it claims to be both a Scottish (not Scotch) Lager and a Noble Pilsner. And it's Bellpark Brewery so who is this Tennent who has their name on the can? Wellpark has been brewing beer out of Glasgow since 1556 so what does...
After sampling Double Up I was worried that this one would be too much coffee for me too. However, our esteemed editor has reminded me on countless occasions to read the fine print. Unfortunately my optometrist told me that bifocals are no longer an option for me....
