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 […]
Its Halloween. Drink a Scary Beer.
Yes, I’ve decided to a make a meaningless list with little thought – The most appropriate beers to drink on Halloween. Feel free to add to it if you read this. 5. Wychwood Brewery HobGoblin 4. Unibrou Trois Pistols Well, actually their Fin du Monde or Maudite are probably more appropriatley named, but the Trois Pistols label scares the […]
Pumpkin Beer Challenge (?)
If you’ve been to an LCBO this Fall, you might have noticed the exactly 8000 different pumpkin spice ales available. Pumpkin is pretty good, so why not I guess. Well, honestly, I’m not a huge fan of pumpkin spice beer. Not so much because it overpowers the beer (which it often does), but mainly I just find that without […]
Churchkey / Birch and Barley – DC’s Best Beer Experience
…and something Toronto can learn from. I recently visited Washington D.C. and got to experience what many authorities, such as GQ and Draft Magazine, have already recognized as one of America’s top beer destinations: Churchkey/ Birch & Barley. These two beer oriented venues co-exist in the same two-story property and fall under the same ownership. Churchkey is an […]
TORONTO BEER WEEK (Starts Now…Well Actually This Morning)
After a summer of beer, its times for a fall of beer. Toronto Beer Week officially kicked off today, running September 14 – 22 (with Premium Beer Experience happening last night). Yep, another excuse to celebrate beer in Ontario and perhaps the last of good weather for a while. What can I tell you that […]
Obama’s White House Beer and the Freedom of Information Request for the Recipe
Obama and beer are big news lately. First, it was reported that he has the White House staff brewing two varieties of homebrew; one of which is the White House Honey Ale, brewed using honey from Michelle Obama’s bee hive, also onsite. Apparently Obama is traveling with the stuff too. Then a beer tent operator at an Iowa […]
Creemore Springs 25th Anniversary Altbier & Great Lakes 25th Anniversary Saison – 25 has never been so good
Yeah, these probably deserve individual attention but my observations of brief to be generous, so I thought I’d mix it up. The fact that both Creemore Springs and Great Lakes are celebrating 25 years is pretty great for Ontario Craft Beer (insert mandatory reference to Creemore being owned by MolsonCoors – its still legit man), and proving great for […]
McGuinty Takes Credit for Ontario Craft Beer Success
In an interestingly timed announcement, the McGuinty government sent around a press release Saturday entitled “Ontario Microbreweries Thriving”. Yippee, the government figured it out. Could this perhaps have something to do with the Liberals rejecting the sale of beer in convenience stores early last week and the Conservatives vaguely suggesting they’d be “open” to it (i.e. would also reject it, but […]
