“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…

“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…

The Magic is the Light

August 27, 2013 by Dale 8 Comments

For years, I thought the mystery was the molten glass, but the magic is the light. I’m reluctant to put quotes around these words because I think I’ve done a poor job of remembering them word for word, but this is the essence of one quote I read on the wall of the Musée des beaux-arts…

“Hop Head” (IPA), Tree Brewing Company

August 25, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

There is something powerful about going home.  In that homecoming, there is a sense of being completed, of filling a space that is at the foundation of who we are. Even if that space goes unrecognized, even while we build upon it, and while we take our lives to distant ramparts, the space remains. Last…

“Fearless” (IPA), Dead Frog Brewery

August 13, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

Collect Experiences. Not Things. You will read these words at the top of this 650ml bottle which on the front displays an extreme surfer and on the side proclaims “For fearlessly pursuing your passion no matter how many sharks stand in your way … You have earned the coveted SHARK BAIT BADGE.” Not that I…

“Phillips Hop Circle IPA” (IPA), Phillips Brewing Company

July 29, 2013 by Dale 3 Comments

This past weekend I had the pleasure of drinking Rogue Ale’s IPA, which is an excellent example of a west-coast IPA made on the actual west-coast … go figure, they actually make IPAs on the west-coast. When the beer came to the table, one of my very good friends remarked that it looked “hoppy.” While…
