BBQ fired up. Steaks on the grill. Tunes on the deck. Sun shining and a frosty glass with an adult beverage at hand. Why am I smiling? Well, why wouldn’t I be? But perhaps a larger smile than usual because I have just lucked out. I bought this Ace Hill Pilsner to try...
Two German beers in one week. What is this, Octoberfest in May? A German pilsner named German Pilsner. I wonder who won the “name the beer” contest. So I pour this German pilsner (named German Pilsner) and it foams up like it’s a fire extinguisher. A heady brew for...
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....
Let me start out by saying I am a Mill St. fan. 100th Meridian is one of my personal favourites. Let me also say that I couldn’t give a rat’s ass whether something is organic or not. I am all for supporting the bees, but not at the expense of the taste of my beer. So...
I wasn’t sure if the name was a reference to some Romeo’s journal entry, or a farmhouse truck fleet? Either one sounds like Farmer Steve’s domain. On closer inspection of the can there is a picture of an old truck so I would assume the later. This Czech* style beer is...
Wow. What a great Pilsner. The can explains the name, Switchback, a path to the summit for the determined and the adventurous for those who enjoy the journey as much as the destination. My destination was sitting down and drinking this beer, I can’t recall what the...
This beer poured very light golden, almost yellow. A few bubbles but they disappeared quickly leaving a very clear beer. Invisible man clear. A thin white head which lasted about as long as a politician’s promise. A fresh aroma with malt in the background. A nice...
What first struck me about this Czech inspired old style pilsner was how bright it is in the glass. The picture just doesn’t do it justice. How bright you ask? As bright as Einstein, Ken Jennings* and Stephen Hawking all put together! As bright as our editor thinks he...
When I first looked at the label on this brew my brain read Country Style, but I doubled checked and sure enough it is County Style. Is it a typo or a shout out to Picton’s Prince Edward County? Another thing about the label while we are on the subject. In Canada it...
They say it is a pilsner, it sure tastes like a lager to me. Maybe it is the malted barley and malted hops? What do I know, I am no brewer, I just like to drink the stuff. Another of Gateway’s main offerings. The numbers represent different modes of transportation,...
