Ale No. 5 ~ “Spring Maple” (Belgian Blonde Ale), Lake of Bays Brewing Company

June 7, 2014 by Dale Leave a Comment

Fifth up is a unifying beer if ever there was one. If you like beer, but not sure if you like maple, you’ll like this beer; if you like maple but on the fence regarding beer, this will knock you over the fence. Not sure you like blondes, think you’re more of a darker drinker, think…

“Ruine Papilles Blonde” (Blonde IPA), À La Fût

November 11, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

With the first skiff snow of the season on the ground providing a definitive layer over the landscape today, winter is indeed close and the IPA season will soon evolve into winter beers. Which means, I’ve got some work to do to do with some of the IPAs still in the house. First on my…

“Houblonnière” (American Pale Ale aka “Hoppy Blonde Ale”), Les Brasseurs du Monde

October 13, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

“Belle Saison” (“Blonde”/Pale Ale), À l’abri de la Tempête

March 11, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

Back to beer … and a return to a beer that, in particular, was seminal in getting this blog started; a beer I’ve mentioned, but not yet reviewed. It was also the first beer that I drank from BroueHaHa where I purchased it. The reason I selected this one was because at $6 for a regular sized…
