George Gales & Sons Ltd. is a fine, independent brewery in Hampshire, England, south of London. I had the pleasure of sampling its fare recently. • When one finds oneself in Winchester, one may walk along centuries-old walls toward the old city's medieval Kingsgate. Go through an archway and …

Here are two siblings I picked up recently, Adnams Broadside Original Ale and Adnams Suffolk Strong Bitter. This first was $2.99 USD at the Party Source, the second $3.25 CND at the LCBO. With taxes and custom costs, the first likely cost at least $5.00 CND. The cost of research. • The brewery …

Another big buy from my trip a few weeks ago to the Party Source in Syracuse, NY. The case of this happy vista upon cracking the cardboard. Cooperstown Brewing is not actually in Cooperstown but is a proud cornerstone of the Milford, New York business community. • Like the Smuttynose case review …

I have been collecting a few bottles here and there to consider the style of some brewers we do not have ready at hand here in Ontario. One such brewer is Anchor of San Fransisco, Ca. - one of the cornerstone breweries in the micro revival. Here I have together the Libery Ale, an IPA regularly …

Now that the Yankees are out of the playoffs, I can admit again to my enjoyment of things New York...more upstate than anything but, as the City and upstate have a mutually vestigal relationship, there is much of the City to be found upstate. One great thing is the New York Times, another is the …

Now that I have spent more than a year having made up with New Hampshire, I can enjoy Smuttynose as I should. These variety packs are great. They introduce you to a brewery's product for under 20 bucks Canadian, 14 US. Smart marketing. Good labels, too. The two old guys on lawn chairs on the IPA …

Who can resist when one reviewer says: " Very possibly the darkest beer in the world." Well...I suppose lots of people who do not like dark or black beer. But for people who understand that Guinness is actually red, this kind of line makes an ale very attractive. • Freeminer Brewery is one of … read more »
Deuchars IPA, Caledonian, Scotland

India Pale Ale did not originate in from Scotland, though the Scots brewers were early adopters of most English styles as a matter of survival. This very light ale for an IPA has something of the Scots roast barley bite and a slight smokey yeast there as well as a very nice bright orangy flavour …
Five Foot Square Brewery

Happy news from Wales where they have the common sense to allow tiny batch breweries to exist - the smallest in the world in a former outhouse has just reopened. Practically impossible in Canada where a whacking excise fee has to be paid unless you fall into section 172(1) of the Excise Act …
