Rescousse Altbeir – Dieu du Ciel!

Rescousse Altbeir - Dieu du Ciel!

Ah, the joys of friends who both travel and like beer.  A while back, Matt Caldwell (onebeeratatime.wordpress.com) was in La Belle Province, and brought me back a lovely little stash of beers.  One of them was Rescousse Altbeir, by the legendary Dieu du Ciel! brewery in Montreal (okay, their main brewery is in St Jerome, […]

LCBO Summer Release

Fell behind on this one, but a lot of the LCBO stores are still sorting out inventory anyways, so this is probably just in time.  The full listing of beers is available in a fair few places (Bartowel, for one), so I won’t rehash it here.  I’m just going to recommend the bottles I like […]

Dernière Volonté – Dieu du Ciel!

So the rapture is happening anytime now.  Apparently.  So, just in case, I thought it appropriate to review a relevant beer.  Two obvious choices would the either La Fin du Monde or Maudite by Unibroue, but that’s sort of been done.  Instead, I’d like to offer a blessing, or a last rite.  Which is what […]

Solstice d’hiver 2009 – Dieu du Ciel!

Okay, I’m actually glad to get this review done.  You see, I bought this beer on my fated one-day trip to Montreal last August.  Shortly after buying it, I came down with pneumonia.  For real.  Then, the LCBO brought the 2010 vintage in for their winter release.  So I thought, “ah ha, taste both vintages […]

Winter Warmers – LCBO Winter Release

So I posted a few days ago, and mentioned the new beers in the LC, but thought I’d give you the full break-down of what they’ve got to keep you warm through our long nights.  Can I just take a moment and say how awesome this release looks?  They just keep on upping their game, […]

Peche Mortel – Dieu du Ciel!

So, I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I have a tendency to  gush on and on about Dieu du Ciel!, as well as their Ontario importer, HMH Negotiants.  If you haven’t been reading for long, you might not know this.  But trust me, I do.  It gets a little embarrassing for everybody, kind of […]

Rigor Mortis Abt – Dieu du Ciel!

Ever have one of those days that just isn’t going well?  That’s today, for me.  Not expressley bad, but just lots of bad news.  So I’m taking it back.  I’m reviewing a beer that I already know kicks ass.  So I’ll be the first to admit this is a totally unobjective review.  Let’s get it […]

Malts and Molluscs – Toronto Beer Week

I’m a fan of the band, U2.  I used to say “big fan”, but then I met some big fans of U2, and realized I wasn’t one.  I’ve got a pretty large selection of their music, and have attended concerts.  The first concert I attended though, was insanely special.  While waiting in line for GA, […]

Pre Toronto Beer Week – Saturday Night

So, yesterday was a busy beer day, despite the fact that Toronto Beer Week still doesn’t actually start until tomorrow.  Volo was having a Dieu du Ciel! party, and I celebrated my 30th birthday a few weeks early, to take advantage of my best friend actually being in the country. So, unless this is the […]

My Schedule for Toronto Beer Week

So I posted my planned schedule in my calendar, but I’m just so damned excited about Toronto Beer Week, I wanted to type some stuff about it too.   Plus this will be a bit more visible.  So here we go: So things kick off this Saturday, with the Dieu du Ciel! party at Volo.  I’ll […]
