We made it... Merry Christmas and Happy Day 25 of Beer Advent. Thanks to all of you that followed me on this adventure and to those that joined in! I saved a special bottle for Christmas Day though I am not sure a 10% bottle of beer was the best option for Christmas breakfast ;) Unibroue brews this beer once a year. It was a strong beer but with a mix of spicy, sweet & hop flavour all at once. For 10% I was pleased by the lack of alcohol taste that some stronger beers hav

I can't believe Christmas is only 11 days away... I think because I am in Canada and it was 14C today I understand why Christmas is creeping up. Regardless I wanted to share with you some sweet Stocking Stuffer Gifts I have found that will satisfy any Beer Lover in your Life!! As a kid, and still today, the stocking was always my favorite thing to open. Perhaps because it was filled with a lot of unique gadgets and treats. So in no particular order here's some cool S%#T!

At the Kensington Brewing Company, in Toronto, ON their motto is Drink Good Beer. Wll they certainly made a good "Eye PA" with their Baldwin FishEYE PA... It is stronger (6.5%) and has a large dose of American Hops & British Ale Yeast. Though one can at a time is good for me I enjoyed slowly sipping this beer. The Kensington Brewing Co. named this beer after the "hard working fish mongers down on Baldwin Street" For those of you not from the Toronto area Kensington Market is

This was the third of the Parallel 49 Trifecta in my Beer Advent and was a decent beer. Not overly "hoppy" or bitter and maybe a bit more malt than I expected. A great beer for those of you starting out perhaps. This one is classified as an IPL (India Pale Lager), I think and poured a nice orangy copper colour with some long lasting head. (get you mind out of the gutter) It was perfect to enjoy before my dinner in my newly purchased Chewbacca onzie. Though not an overly in

Another beaut from Bell City Brewing out of Brantford, ON. Kinda hilarious that I have a bunny suit on the same day I pick the Galaxy "Hopper" haha.. I had just had an extremely stronger tasting beer before I cracked my Advent Beer today and I think that messed with my buds a little as the beer tasted a little weird. So I drank some water, a glass of milk (not really) and does anyone know the best way to "cleanse your palete"? After a few more sips I found it quite nice. W

For Canadians, more specific Ontarioians, this news comes with Great Excitement!!! Imagine cruising down the aisle of the Grocery store cart full of potatoes, fruit, meat and veggies.... all the "Food Groups" but one... Beer! You pause not wanting to make one more stop on the way home or look at your watch and realized The Beer Store is closed then remember..... I can now get Beer here!! Tough the government isn't revealing the exact locations yet they have 60 chosen locatio

I had the Awesome chance to catch both the Open House of The collaborative Arts & Science Brewery and tickets to the Concert that went on inside at night last weekend. Collective Arts Brewery is doing an Awesome Job at fusing the craft of brewing with various artists, musicians, photographers & filmmakers. It really is, in my mind, a beautiful thing... who doesn't love to pair beer with awesome tunes and see Beer as an art in itself. I was 100% convinced they had acheived s
