Brewmaster’s Tithe — Amsterdam Brewing Co.

Brewmaster's Tithe, back-lit

Name a beer you would drink everyday. I could name dozens. Now name one that you could drink for breakfast everyday. Probably a smaller list. You can see where I’m going with this, I’m sure. Before I had even actually committed to doing this fast (if you’re just tuning-in, I’m fasting from food for Lent), […]

The Should Have Been Friday, Saturday News Post

Well, I had the best of intentions, I really did.  I had a bunch of great news items and events to post yesterday.  Then I didn’t.  The good news, is I’m doing it now.  And it’s not too late!  So if you’re just getting back in from brunch, and wondering what to do with yourself, […]

Amsterdam’s New Brewery(ies)

Barrels full of beer at Amsterdam

CJM Brown Royale – Amsterdam Brewing Co.

I grew up in Scarborough.  While this effects me in a variety of different ways, a big one was in my beer upbringing.  I have no idea what the beer in my house was growing up.  It was in bottles and at a young age I would drink the little bit of backwash and settled-out […]

Learn 2 Brew – The wrap-up

So, if you’ve been following along, you’ll remember I was planning to attend an event this past weekend at the Amsterdam Brewery, a brew-day hosted by the Southern Ontario Brewers.  The day was an opportunity for a bunch of the SOBs to come into the brewery, set-up their brewing systems, and brew a batch or […]
