Despite to much evidence to the contrary, I love it when somebody proves me totally wrong. Such was the case with this pairing. I know Bellwoods’ 3 Minutes to Midnight well. We got the first ever cask of it at Castro’s for our 50th anniversary celebration of the Cuban Missle Crisis. I’m not sure if […]

Friday Beer Break with Fearless Fred — Bellwoods Farmageddon
Today Chris and Fred drink the ohmazing Farmageddon from Bellwoods, a Saison aged in barrels infected with brettanomyces, making it funky and dry. Also, the usual hipster-jokes ensue.
Great Lakes Lake Effect vs Bellwoods Cat Lady
So here starts the head-to-head battles between beers. Before I address the two contenders, let me make something clear: The four breweries involved are absolutely top brewers in Toronto. None of these matches are likely to be landslide victories. In fact, I expect to have trouble picking winners. Mike and the folks at Great Lakes […]
The Gang Fight

A street fighter format, but with less down-right-x. Indeed, I’ve got beers from The Jets (Amsterdam and Great Lakes) and The Sharks (Indie […]

Omerta Blood Orange Pale Ale — Bellwoods Brewery
Fruit in beers, what can I say? They range from light lime lagers to the epic Cantillion Lambics, and lots of iterations in between. In some cases, the fruit is really the only thing you taste, in other cases it used to compliment characteristics of the beer. I used to say I didn’t really dig […]
Roman Candle IPA — Bellwoods Brewery
I love a good fireworks display. When I was younger, it was all about lighting off the kind you buy at pop-up shops on the way to the cottage, firing them off over the lake on Victoria Day, Canada Day, and midnight on New Year’s. As I’m getting older, I prefer just wandering down my […]
3 Minutes To Midnight (Hellwoods on Sour Cherries) — Bellwoods Brewery
Oh my oh dear. Is there anything Bellwoods makes that doesn’t turn to solid gold? Yes, those things that turn to platinum. If you like beer, and you haven’t experienced a beer from Bellwoods, stop reading this very instant, and go get some. Seriously. Consistently phenomenal beers, creative, exciting, stellar. While Bellwoods’ main production is […]
