Fridge to Fireside

Fridge to Fireside

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...

Lager Logic

Lager Logic

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...

Knows no Limits?

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...

Cross Czech

A little can of amber, Czech style nonetheless. Don't we usually get 500ml of an International brew, not an old 355ml stubby.. I tried to pronounce the name, I guess I will just call this one Czech Amber. A darker than amber pour, more like a solid brown, thin off...

Naughty or Not?

There is a naughty otter at my cottage that shits on my dock. The missus thinks otters are cute, playful, endearing scamps, but to me it’s just one more crap on the dock rodent. This brew hales from the celebrated border town of Gananoque Ontario, with more islands...

This is a small brewery in Prince Edward County that focuses on small batches and using locally ingredients. A brewer that focuses on the beer, not the label – a refreshing approach. Landbier is actually German meaning “Country Lager”, trying the reflect the fact that...
