I go to the LCBO more than the Beer Store here in Ontario but when I have gone to the place also known as "the In and Out", I have noticed but never picked up this brand, preferring Maudit or another Unibroue variety. I noticed today that it actually comes in a four pack and thought what the hell …
C'est What, Toronto, Ontario

I was in Toronto for a few days this week and was able to stop by a brewpub called C'est What. I have some notes to add later after I dig through my stuff but wanted to get these pictures up. • The Next Day: I appear to have sprayed my things with notes-be-gone so I'll do this from memory. I …

National Six-Pack VII: Gritstone Premium, Ontario
Posted by on Wednesday, January 5, 2005 in - 1 comment
I bought a six of this quite a while ago and amongs all the double IPAs, Christmas ales and porters, I kept coming back to one of these when I wanted something nice and sensible. Doesn't sound like much of a recommendation. A warm one poured into a frozen glass produces a decent off-white head … read more »
National Six-Pack II: Wellington SPA, Ontario

Wellington Special Pale Ale or SPA. At the Beer Store for $10.50. From Guelph, Ontario. Can't say there are bad tastes in this brew. Then again, I can't say there is much taste at all. Not thin, no, it's got a medium-light body and the colour of light maple syrup and...that is about it on first …

Being in Ontario during the hockey playoffs is the right place to be. There is a pervasive legitimacy about being Leafs fans that you just don't get in the Maritimes with the mix of allegances for the Habs, the Bruins and whatever team is good this week. We watched the win over the Senators last …

Another day another pub exterior. • When I was going up to find the back view of the Royal Tavern the other day, I passed this pub and realized that it said established 1839 on the awning.
