“Kilannan Alt” (Altbier) Kilannan Brewing Co.

September 9, 2014 by Dale 2 Comments

Stats: Altbier. 5.2% ABV. Own Sound, Ontario. Size: 473mL can Colour: Brown-Amber (unfiltered) Mouth Feel: Medium carbonation; watery start and creamy but dry finish. Purchased: LCBO Price: $2.90 Pairing Notes:  Grilled lamb kebabs → 85 points So in collision of two bits of chance, I thought I’d do series on beers that come in cans — more or less exclusively. That…

Westcoast Field Trip: ‘Research’

September 3, 2014 by Dale 2 Comments

Some hobbies are more dangerous than others. Certainly, this is one with which requires some care because, by all accounts, I took one for the team with the substantial field work I completed last month during my pilgrimage back home to BC. Fresh off the airplane, the first stop my father made was for provisions as I…

“Legendary Oddity” (Spiced Beer), Muskoka Brewery

July 11, 2014 by Dale 2 Comments

Finally … a beer from the Muskoka Brewery worth writing about. Having previously reviewed their ubiquitous Mad Tom and Twice as Mad offerings which left me unimpressed, I was hesitant about sticking another toe in their fermented waters. Twice bitten — definitely third time shy. So why did I take the bait? The packaging grabbed…

Ale No. 6 ~ “Pale Ale Americaine” (APA) Brasserie Dunham

June 8, 2014 by Dale Leave a Comment

So for Ale No. 6 in the Ales Bells series, I’m turning my attention back to Ale No. 4, the English-styled pale ale. Why? Because if I’m going to write about one pale ale, the English version, then I really need to write about the other to make the comparison. Therefore, next up: a new American…

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…

Ale No. 3 ~ “Houblon Frais” (Fresh Hopped Beer) Microbrasserie La Chouape

June 5, 2014 by Dale Leave a Comment

Third in my Ales Bells series is an intriguing offering. Hands up who wasn’t intrigued by the label of this beer and the promise of something “Fresh Hopped” or the tagline at the bottom “wet hopped”? With the yellow and spring green colours and the words of “fresh” I wasn’t expecting a beer that poured…

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…

“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…
