Notes today from two breweries, Lawrence Victor, a winery making a first stab at brewing, and the Inchant Brewery, formerly tied to at the Rose and Crown Hotel, of Guildford. • The brewery at Lawrence Victor Estate Winery • I discovered Lawrence Victor Coonawarra Old Ale (ABV 5%) at a local … read more »
Australia Day Continues...

Coopers • of Adelaide is one of my favorite Aussie breweries. It is also possibly the only surviving 19th century brewery to remain in the hands of the original family. While the Malt Shovel Brewery tries to reinvent the brews of James • Squire, Coopers has maintained many of its own original …
Happy Australia Day!

Although Australia's best known beer is justly condemned by foreigners and locals alike, the lucky country offers some of the new world's finest beers. Regrettably, this organ A Good Beer Blog does not (yet) have an Australian correspondent, leaving the task up to this Singapore-based blogger … read more »
Second Opinion: Sleeman Fine Porter
Posted by on Monday, December 27, 2004 in - 11 comments
[Ed.: Here is a second take on this brew. See our first here.] • Sleeman's Brewery has released a special limited edition Porter, called "Fine Porter," available for a limited time only in the Canadian provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, Quebec, and Nova Scotia. I don't know how … read more »
Samuel Smith, Yorkshire England
Posted by on Monday, December 20, 2004 in - 10 comments
I was hoping I would run into one of the gift packs with the nut brown ale, pale ale and oatmeal stout. $13.95 CND at the LCBO in addition to the Imperial Stout and the previously reviewed Winter Welcome which go for $3.95 CND each. Samuel Smiths was founded in 1758 and still uses the open top …
Union Street Revival Ale, Harpoon, Boston, Mass.

Harpoon Brewery is one of my favorite New England micros and one that Dipietros in South Portland thankfully carries. Based in Boston with a branch brewery in Windsor Vermont, they consistently produce interesting quality brews. It was nice, then, to find this small batch brew available during my …
An Introduction to Singapore's Beers
Posted by on Wednesday, December 8, 2004 in - 2 comments
Alan kindly invited me to join the league of good-beer bloggers. I quickly accepted. Regrettably, Singapore and the rest of Southeast Asia are not the best places to find good local brews. Most regional beers are uninspiring international lagers or worse - such as the syrupy-sweet and metallic …
Lockjaw Double IPA, Stewart's Brewing Co., Bear, Delaware
Posted by on Saturday, November 27, 2004 in - leave a comment
Yes, Double IPA. I luckily found this beer when I wandered into Stewart's on Friday night. I questioned the owner about the makeup of the beer; unfortunately, he didn't have the answers to all of my questions. But I'll judge it the best I can. • The beer was advertised at 8% ABV. Hardly a … read more »
National Six-Pack V: Sleeman Fine Porter, Ontario
Posted by on Saturday, November 27, 2004 in - 5 comments
This is a shift. I am going to include true six packs which are not necessarily pale ales when cause warrants. This one does. • It is the first Sleemans signature series brew, out for a limited time only and it is a porter. Interesting stuff but, first, look at the outside - they are blinding me …
Historic Ales of Scotland

Alba Pine, Fraoch Heather, Ebulum Elderberry, Grozet Gooseberry • I buy this four 330 ml bottle boxed set every Christmas at the LCBO for no doubt an exorbident price given all the fancy packaging. What I do not understand is why the beers in this promotional package are not otherwise available …
