Ale No. 4 ~ “Signature Ale” (English Pale Ale) County Durham Brewing Company

June 6, 2014 by Dale Leave a Comment

For the fourth tasting in my Ales Bells series, I thought it appropriate to reintroduce myself to one of the standards in ales, the English-styled pale ale. Compared to the chocolate brown of my last tasting or the first in the series, Beau’s “Gilgamesh” (an “old ale”), you can clearly see the reason why this style is called…

Ale No. 2 ~ “La Vache Folle RyePA” (Rye IPA) Microbrasserie Charlevoix.

June 4, 2014 by Dale Leave a Comment

Second up in my “Ales Bells” series is a beer that takes a twist on the most popular style that has been sweeping this continent: the IPA, or India pale ale. The original IPAs were one of those intentional accidents that grew from innovation by necessity into something that has become anything but an accident. As…

Ale No. 1 ~ “Gilgamesh” (Old Ale) Beau’s All Natural Brewing Company

June 3, 2014 by Dale 4 Comments

So this marks the first in a series I’m calling “Ales Bells,” seven ales in seven days. Seven different ales from seven different producers, each from a different providence, with different twists. With so many choices of where to start, I elected to start with a recent purchase from the LCBO from a brewery you already know that…

Ales Bells ~ a special series

June 2, 2014 by Dale Leave a Comment

The world of beer drinking is quite fundamentally a pretty straight forward and simple indulgence which is probably one of the reasons it appeals to so many people. Indeed, a shade more than 50% of Canadian drinkers reportedly claim beer as their beverage of choice. If you’re over the age of 30, you probably grew…

“Amber Ale” (Amber Ale), Flying Monkeys Craft Brewery

March 24, 2014 by Dale Leave a Comment

Change is inevitable and good can certainly come of bad. Such is my experience with Ontario’s Beer Store which I had previously panned for not only its disappointing selection but its poor selection of local craft brews. Apparently they’re listening to their customers. Or perhaps they’ve been taking a page out of Flying Monkeys pages…
