Back in the day, trays of draft at the Tap Room, and a salt shaker on the table. The old fellers at the back sprinkling some salt into their draft. Why you would sprinkle salt into good beer (or draft at the Tap Room) is beyond me. So now I have a Gose in front of...
A dark wheat beer. Is that an oxymoron? Yin and yang. Weiss and Dunkel. Ebony and ivory*. No, that’s a Dunkelweizen. According to Erdinger this is a specialty beer for connoisseurs**. I guess that makes any one of us who shop for craft beer at the LCBO a connoisseur....
I put the term Weissbräu to the COMDB translation department and they promptly told me that Oktoberfest was over. After some cajoling, and explaining this was definitely not an Oktoberfest beer, I got them to assist. Although it is generally recognized that a...
Harry Belafonte was loading the banana boat but daylight was coming (Day-O, Day-O) and he wanted to go home.* Sounds to me like Harry was pulling an all-nighter. But this banana boat is of the Hefeweizen variety. Sounds like a job for….. you guessed it, the COMDB...
Barley Days is a brewer in Prince Edward County that was into craft beer making long before most ... they've been at it since 2007 ... but they are still keeping things fresh and bringing new beers to market. I haven't tried a new one from them in a while and thought...

This beer has been in my fridge about twice as long as most beers last in there. I can't say that the pink can with watermelon seeds sprinkled on it is a particularly attractive look for a beer. But this is Mill St. Brewery who has been in this business for a long...
This Witbier from Napanee Beer Company features a woman flying a fighter plane on the can. Well, I guess she isn’t actually flying as the cockpit cover is open, her helmet strap is undone, her goggles are not on and she is waving and winking like she just arrived at...
If I could recycle a beer from a bunch of oranges, limes and bread I think I would have the recipe down pat for this weird tasting beer. That being said, it is dry and refreshing but there is just too much non- beer flavour in it for me. If you're adventurous enough...
After enjoying a Collingwood Freestyle Oktoberfestbier so much ( great beer, kudos Collingwood) I was looking forward to this one. This was more of a letdown than The Hangover II! Listen to this, “chamomile, lemon and orange peel, coriander”! Do you know what...
