“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,…

Cascade Plus (Imperial IPA/Double IPA), Brasseurs Illimités

November 27, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

Cascade Plus (Imperial IPA/Double IPA) Brasseurs Illimités

Ultimately, I’m here to have experiences and share those experiences with you. So when I was presented the opportunity to take home a beer scoring 111 IBUs – that is international bitter units, the scale used to measure bitterness in beer) — there was no way I could refuse. By all accounts, this was going…

“Magouille” (Pumpkin Ale), Brasseurs Illimités

November 19, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

Drinking a seasonal beer is a bit like going for a swim in waters where sharks have been seen. That’s not to say you’re going to lose a limb, but you’re always worried you’re going feel a nibble on your big toe just before it happens. Perhaps Jaws made a big impression in my childhood…

Beef Sliders with Barbecued Bacon and Cheddar

November 15, 2013 by Dale 2 Comments

What’s better than burgers and beer? Well, little burgers … and beer. Enter the beef slider, the little burger that could …. I know they’ve been all the trend for awhile, but there is good reason for it. Firstly, in an ethical and more conscious world, we don’t need to be eating 16 ounces of…

“Founders Centennial IPA” (India Pale Ale), Founders Brewing Company

October 3, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

For centuries theologians and philosophers have debated how many angels you fit on the head of a needle … but I’m thinking the debate should be whether archangels are big beer drinkers? Do you or I care? Well, I’m guessing the folks at Founders Brewing Company do … at least based on the Raphael’esque label…

“10 Bitter Years” (Imperial IPA), Black Oak Brewing Company

September 27, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

I had a lot of choices in my house as to what would be my last drink at home before heading to the very dry terroir of Saudi Arabia – and, yet, for a few weeks, I’ve instinctively known it was going to be this bottle. This anniversary beer from Black Oak Brewing has celebration…

“BIA” (India Pale Ale), Birrificio Del Ducato

September 24, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

Seeking a great west-coast IPA? Go west … I mean, go east. I mean, get on a plane, cross the Atlantic and head for the middle of the Mediterranean. I know … it’s counter intuitive. I know … I’m from Western Canada. I should know which direction is west. So you’ve read in the past…

“Southern Tier IPA” (India Pale Ale) Southern Tier Brewing Company

September 18, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

Yes, I’ve been on a bit of nostalgic bent this summer, I know. From my recipes, to travels, to the the articles I’ve written, everything seems to have a bit of a “re-visited” quality of late. Even many of the beers I’ve been reviewing are not new discoveries but rather undocumented experiences. As with my…

“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…

“Moroccan Brown Ale” (Brown Ale), Spearhead Brewing Company

August 10, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

One of the first beers I reviewed and still one of the best I’ve tasted was Spearhead’s Hawaiian Style Pale Ale. What most impressed was its ability to incorporate the flavour of the pineapple into the beer in a subtle but unmistakeable way that doesn’t leave you with a sickly taste in your mouth going…
