Mousetrap Rye Pale Ale | RyePA | Parsons Brewing

August 28, 2017 by Hopped & Bothered 2 Comments

Parsons Mousetrap

Craft brewing comes to “wine country.” Prince Edward County is, in many respects, a home away from home, for Jess and I. Indeed, it is a place that is home to our hearts. If you’ve followed us and our story in these pages, you know that it is where we were engaged and where, last…

“Oranje Weisse” (White Ale) Amsterdam Brewing Co. Limited

July 31, 2014 by Dale Leave a Comment

Amsterdam is a brewery that is quickly going to the top of my mental list of brewers who consistently produce stellar beers. They gained my instant respect with their Boneshaker IPA and cemented it with the vastly different but equally impressive Vicars Vice old ale. And while they stay in their own ale series, I can’t imagine…

“Vicar’s Vice ~ olde ale” (Old Ale) Amsterdam Brewing Co. Limited

July 16, 2014 by Dale Leave a Comment

If you read my Ale Series, you learned about “old ale” as a style in the context of Beau’s “Gilgamesh.” If you haven’t already, it is a unique style worth exploring. I was an instant fan of Amsterdam Brewing from the first taste of their “Boneshaker” IPA which has been a staple in my fridge…

“Imperial I.P.A.” (Double IPA) Garrison Brewing Co.

May 13, 2014 by Dale Leave a Comment

So here’s a beer I reviewed after 3 weeks of being out of commission, when my palette was back to working … and back to bring you new reviews and tastes. Thankfully I had a few in reserve to post in between because I wouldn’t otherwise have trusted anything I tasted. So what better way to…

“Rhyme & Reason” (Extra Pale Ale) Collective Arts Brewing

May 2, 2014 by Dale 4 Comments

To be great doesn’t make you good; to be good, however, requires greatness. So that’s my paradoxical aphorism for the month of May, inspired by a company that, to look at the box and the bottles within, already has greatness written all over it. And I mean really impressive greatness. This is a six pack…

“St-Ambroise Double IPA” (DIPA), McAuslan Brewing

December 12, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

No, you don’t have to whistle the tune associated with Doublemint Gum to enjoy this beer … but I bet you are now, right? If IPAs have been en vogue in beer making for the past decade, then the past few years have seen the emergence of the DIPA (pronounced dee-PA). It seems every week,…

“Hoptical Illusions, Almost Pale Ale” (Pale Ale), Flying Monkeys

September 12, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

Barrie ◊ Ontario ◊ Canada ◊ Milky Way ◊ Universe ◊ Infinity With an address like that, you’re sort of expecting something out of this world from this beer from Flying Monkeys Brewery. Near the beginning of this blog, I reviewed one of my favourite IPAs (Smashbomb Atomic) from this brewery that should win the award for most imaginative and…
