I have had this bottle at the back of the fridge for a while. And I know the photo is not as sharp as it might be. But I like it. And I like this beer. This is the upgrade from High Falls Brewing of Rochester, (land of the garbage plate) the brewers for decades (or rather successors of brewers) of …

Another variety pack from New York state, another reason to wonder why we organize our lives like we do in Canada. Saranac is the main brand of the Matt Brewing Company of Utica to the right of Syacuse about an hour and twenty minutes south then east from here. Last year I bought a mixed twelve of …

You know when they say someone or something • is truly beautiful on the inside once you get to know? • OK, I have been a little quiet around here as of late but that is because I have been on special assignmentTM and this last special assignmentTM took us to Ithaca, New York about 3 hours due …
The <i>New York Times</i> on Summer Ales
Posted by on Wednesday, June 29, 2005 in - 1 comment
Have a look at today's article in the NYT on some ales for your consideration this summer. It amazes me how many columns there are on wine but so few on beer, especially given how big we all know beer is. Check-out the interactive feature, audio with a slide-show, to the left of the Times article.

We visited the Sackets Harbor Brewing Co. in the North Country of New York State last weekend. Sitting at the eastern end of Lake Ontario in the bay that once saw one-half of the US navy located there around two hundred years ago, the brew pub is in one of the prettiest settings around for a glass …

I reviewed some of Ithaca Beer Co.'s beer last summer but this year's 12 pack, a 4 variety by 3 bottle 12-pack, has two I missed. • It looks like Ithaca is making a go of it. The vaiety box has snazzy multi-coloured branding and the brewery has expanded its facility in the south-end of town …
New York: Pennant Ale '55, Brooklyn Brewing, Brooklyn
Posted by on Sunday, June 5, 2005 in - leave a comment
Brooklyn Pennant Ale '55 • I knew that the Dodgers win in the 1955 World Series was a big thing but I had no idea how it was celebrated in Brooklyn with a bigger parade than VE Day, due in large part to the dramatics of the catch. This bottling by the Brooklyn Brewery of their Pale Ale … read more »
New York: Syracuse Pale Ale, Middle Ages, Syracuse
Posted by on Sunday, May 29, 2005 in - 3 comments
If I were the type of person to buy beer 12 or 24 at a time instead of one by one, this would be one of those fridge standards I'd likely keep around. Middle Ages makes some of the best niche UK style brewed in the USA beers I have had but this is their ale for the guy who just wants an ale. It …

While across the way on the weekend we had dinner at King Arthur's Steakhouse and Brewery in Oswego, New York and we were very glad we did. I had a little problem with the camera but I expect that you get a sense of the place from these photos. The building is quite impressive and is on one of the …
