“Dead Guy Ale” (German Maibock) Rogue Ales

July 4, 2014 by Dale 2 Comments

As I’ve written before, when any company can connect their values with mine, it portends a great experience. So with a bottle cap that reads “Dedicated to the Rogue in Each of Us” and with the trilogy of high-power words around the neck, of Dare * Risk * Dream, I was already impressed. I then…

“Original Organic Lager” Mill St. Brewery

April 4, 2014 by Dale 2 Comments

Continuing with my lager exploration, I’ve circled back to one that I first tried soon after it was introduced, one that I drank on location at the original Mill Street Brewery in Toronto’s “Distillery District.” The brewery first started production in 2002 and was one of Toronto’s first craft brewers and deserves recognition for being…

“Lager” (Lager), Dead Frog Brewery

February 27, 2014 by Dale Leave a Comment

Hmm. You take away the pepper-lime from the previously reviewed Dead Frog beer … and you find a lager as naked as is the clear bottle. It pours a very light straw, almost like a light overfiltered apple juice. The thing is — and it’s not a good thing-is — it has more in common…

“Pepper Lime Lager” (flavoured), Dead Frog Brewery

February 20, 2014 by Dale Leave a Comment

Ok, I thought I should try reviewing a few beers outside my normal comfort zone, so I took a little trip back to the Beer Store (when will I learn you ask?) and looked for “different.” How about a few lagers, I thought? Well, if I wanted “different” I sure found it in this box…

“Beau’s Lug Tread” (Lagered Ale), Beau’s All Natural Brewing Company

July 11, 2013 by Dale 4 Comments

As you may have guessed or soon will know with certainty, I’m a big fan of buying local and supporting local businesses. I personally feel that if our value structure as consumers, instead, first privileged “Is this company good for my community” rather than going with the all-mighty capitalist philosophy of “price” and supply and…

“Écume” (“Lager”), À l’abri de la Tempête

March 16, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

This beer drinking is becoming a full time job … or fulltime hobby, at least. Thank god for spinning! I figured I’ve picked up enough momentum that I should continue to work through the rest of my beer list for À l’abri de la Tempête – and experience the full range of their brewing abilities. Next…
