My friends from England knew exactly what this beer was when it arrived in the US on March 11, 2004 in time for St Patrick's day that year. Thanks to Guinness USA, the owner of Smithwick's (pronounced "Smiddick's"), this traditional Irish Red Ale first appeared in pubs on draught in "key markets" …

Indian Brown Ale and 60 Minute IPA from Dogfish. While they make the excellent yet basic Shelter Pale Ale, Dogfish Head is one of the great micro-breweries of North American and well-known for innovations like the continually and highly hopped 120 and 90 Minute IPAs. Heck, for St. Patrick's Day …

Ontario: Dark, Hockley Valley Brewing, Mono-Adjala Townline

A great day yesterday...perhaps. Under the judicious but incomprehensible plan for the parcelling out of microbrews of Ontario by the LCBO, Kingston got a 2-4 of Hockley Dark Ale. One whole case. Importantly for understanding the dark world of Ontario micro distribution, Sgt. Major IPA was nowhere …

At my house Mardi Gras is the biggest celebration of the year. Bigger than Christmas. We go all out -- ordering boxes of beads and other purple, gold, and green baubles and silly hats. We spend hours cooking up pots of red beans and rice and jambalaya for all of our friends. And, of course, I …

Heritage Brewing Limited in Ottawa is a small eastern Ontario brewery which has yet to get a review from me. Why? My brother buys it. So what! Well, its just one of those things. I visit from time to time and he has Heritage dark in the fridge. And probably Hoegaarden if its summer. Once he had a …

Last fall I reviewed the Weyerbacher Brewing Company's Old Heathen Imperial Stout and the Imperial Pumpkin Ale and when I was last down south I picked up this mix of five more of their brews. Weyerbacher has a new web site which is worth checking out. In their history section they explain some of …

This weekend I made a discovery while looking for things to do while visiting family...OK, my in-laws. Right there in little Stratford Ontario was the Stratford Brewing Company. At the south end of town in a small industrial park area at the back of a building there it was...a van, a man and a set …
