“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…

“Saint Paix” (Fruit Beer) Les Brasseurs RJ Inc

March 28, 2014 by Dale Leave a Comment

Some things are entirely tied to a moment in time. It really is remarkable how much our mood and place impact our intuitive reaction to things … reactions which might be quite different if we sat down to really dissect what we’re experiencing. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not advocating for a careful dissection of…

“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…

“Nut Brown Ale” (Brown Ale) Dead Frog Brewery

March 13, 2014 by Dale Leave a Comment

A quick pour of this beer and I was already making faces. Nice essence of caramel from nose to mouth, but the bubbles were as tight and harsh in the mouth as coco-cola without the sugar. Not the way I like my brown ale. Fizzy is certainly the word I would use to describe this…

“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…

White Chili

February 26, 2014 by Dale 4 Comments

While we battle through a late season cold-snap, the calendar says that winter’s strength will soon be behind us. In the meanwhile, the cold weather continues demand slow-cooked comfort foods and I’m happy to comply. Nothing seems to warm as well as those one-pot dishes that cook for hours and warm you from the core…

“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…

“IPA du Lièvre” (IPA) Microbrasserie du Lièvre

February 12, 2014 by Dale Leave a Comment

Okay — so this is a tasting that is long, long overdue. I actually bought this beer a year ago. The only reason I put it off this long was because of the 1-litre bottle. And, so, I’ve been waiting for the right moment when I could both review it and settle in for a…

Chili (con carne)

January 17, 2014 by Dale 5 Comments

Chili is one of those dishes that is as varied as are our fingerprints. Every home cook or chef has their own version following one theme or another and it’s one of those few dishes that uniquely has competitions centred around it. However, you don’t need a chili cook-off and you certainly don’t need a…

“M.P.A.” (Imperial India Pale Ale), Renaissance Brewing Company

January 11, 2014 by Dale Leave a Comment

As evidenced by my last beer review, every risk does not bring with it a happy Discovery. So it is with some trepidation that I stepped off the cliff and prepared to sample the third of Renaissance’s beers that I had purchased, this one an imperial aka “double” India pale ale (DIPA). I love love…
