Ontario: Wind And Sail Dark Ale, Barley Days Brewery, Picton
Posted by on Saturday, August 11, 2007 in - 2 comments
So what do I do when back from a beer hunt? Go beer shopping I guess. Barley Days Brewing on the west side of Picton is the resurrection of the former Glenora Springs brewery to the east side of Picton which had an unfortunate track record of unintended lambics noted here and here a year and a … read more »

Neat and Tidy • Not all my travels for beer around Lake Ontario were on the US side. No, I headed straight for what must be the densest centre of brewing in Canada: Guelph, Ontario. Between the 401 and highway 7 on the west side of town you have national brewer Sleeman as well as venerable …

One of the other great things about a trip south, other than loading up the stash with brews that are forbidden to Canadians otherwise, is finding a great new brewpub. A few miles to the west of Rochester, on highway 33, we found one more at Rohrbach Brewing. • We sat outside and were treated to …

The funny thing about brown beer is that beer is basically brown. All beer is brown. OK, almost all beer. Daniels and Parker say at the outset of Chapter 1 of their book Brown Beer: • “While exploring the history of brown ale, we wound up visiting nearly every other style of British ale. From …

I don't know about this Brewery Focus idea. It's getting so unfocused. The other posts for Bells are here and here - but that was a couple of weeks ago. Have I pushed the limits of blogging? Could I get a life and just get on with the review? • The name of the beer along with the picture of the …
Brewery Focus: Bell's Kalamazoo Stout, Kalamazoo, MI, USA

Pesky things these Bell's labels. Hard to photograph. A little like taking a photo of a paper grocery bag and making it look dynamic. Don't get me wrong - it is a very fine thing and not utilitarian at all. Pesky, though. • Bell's Kalamazoo is another stout in a range that includes ten or eleven …

I like this Brewery Focus thing. The last one, Scotland's Isle of Skye Brewing, isn't done and yet I can start another. Why? Because a pal went to Michigan for work [Ed.: (later) he has revealed himself in the comments.] and all of a sudden, realizing the implications, we made calls to his cell …

After an evening of bottling hefeweizen, time for something without notes of pineapple, banana, cloves and white pepper. The second in the series on the beers of the Isle of Skye Brewing Company, this 4.5% brew is described by the brewer simply as "the dark one, brewed with rolled roast oatmeal … read more »

In an effort to bring a bit more organization to things around here, I am adding another series called Brewery Focus - until I think of a better name. The first three posts in the series are going to be about three brews from the Isle of Skye Brewing Company from the bit of the Old Country my … read more »
