Ottawa Winterbrewed
This weekend I managed to not so accidentally stumble upon Sparks Street Mall in Ottawa for Winterbrewed, the winter weekend beer festival put on by the folks at National Capital Craft Beer Week. Of course, downing ice cold beer for a couple of hours in the great white (urban) outdoors proved somewhat challenging as the fingers stopped […]
Taste of Utah (and Minnesota)
Greetings BeerToronto faithful! This is not your normal contributor so if you are expecting the usual dry and sarcastic wit of the regular contributor you may want to stop reading now… If you are still reading, I will preface this post with the fact that this is my first blog post. You should also know […]
Get to know a Brewery: Picaroons
20 Questions with Picaroons’ head brewer/owner, Sean Dunbar If you noticed my Twitter feed over the holidays (which, if you’re reading this, you might have) you noticed a lot of Picaroons beer being consumed. Now, its very hard for me to say I have a favorite brewery right now, but if I was pressed to choose […]
Craft vs. Crafty – Brewers Association “You’ve Probably Never Heard of Us”
Last Thursday the Brewers Association, the voice of craft beer in the United States (and Canada), released a statement entitled “Craft vs. Crafty”. In this statement, surprise surprise, the BA takes on major breweries and criticizes their somewhat unannounced entry into the craft beer market. I’m quite divided on this statement. Certainly, I am for […]
Westvleteren 12
Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. If you are still reading this, you’ve probably guessed that I didn’t get my hands on any Westvleteren 12…you know, that ultra rare Belgian trappist beer that you can normally only buy direct from the monks that brew it in Belgium (or something like that)? That beer that is rated 100 on BeerAdvocate? That […]
2nd Annual Amsterdam Brewstache Beerfest
Brush your mo’, Amsterdam is again playing host to a Movember fundraiser featuring beer from several of OCB’s finest. Its on a school night but there are more than enough reasons to make it worth going out for, including the fact that all proceeds go to prostate cancer research and awareness. Also, there will be […]
GLB Burt’s Special Stache
It’s late November, a time for embarrassingly poor mustache growth, raising money for men’s health and, beer (as with all other months). Yes, with reference to one of the most famous mustaches in the world and throwing in a pun for good measure, comes the Great Lakes Brewery Burt’s Reserve Stache. Available at Great Lakes Brewery retail […]
Beer and Politics (Superficially Of Course)
In anticipation of tonight’s U.S. Presidential election, I thought I’d profile two political themed U.S. Craft Breweries that are doing a really good job of making beer, if not political puns. The first brewery is DC Brau of Washington DC, with their signature Capitol building graphic and political themed THE ___ naming. In a city overshadowed in […]
Real Sports – Meh Beer
Ever hear that Springsteen song “57 channels and nothin’ on”. Well that’s kind of my feeling towards Real Sport Bar & Grill’s beer selection. They’ve got over 40 beers on tap, but have made very limited room for any Ontario Craft Beers – Beyond the Mill Street Organic and Steamwhistle, its the usual suspects, and then a […]

Unibrou Trois Pistols Well, actually their Fin du Monde or Maudite are probably more appropriatley named, but the Trois Pistols label scares the […]
