Okay, some of you will know I’m a fellow of faith. And I happen to read a lot of stuff from a similar guy, a Belfast-born writer known as Jack to his friends, Clive Staples Lewis. Most people identify him as the author of The Chronicles of Narnia (which is accurate), though it’s worth mentioning […]
Dark Star is an English brewery, and according to their label, they’ve won some nice awards. I first had this beer at the LCBO fall release tasting, and really enjoyed it. I picked up a bottle to review properly, and it’s been sitting waiting for me since. I was really taken by the label, which […]
Oh coffee porter, what are we going to do with you. You’re the merlot of the beer world; flavours that should be palatable and familiar to many, and yet most people who make you do an ass job of it. I tend to stay away from coffee porters, as they often are really just mediocre […]
Here’s the thing: I don’t generally really like fruit beers. Too often they taste of fake fruit flavouring, other times, the just don’t taste particularly good. There are exceptions to this rule, of course, like the classic strawberry beer from Belgium, Fruli. Samual Smith’s has yet to let me down, though so let’s give this […]
If you aren’t familiar with the Fuller’s brand, you owe it to yourself to get to know them a bit better. I’ve had three Fuller’s beers on my Cellar List for over a month now, not because I was taking my time reviewing them, but because I kept drinking them and not doing a review […]
In preparation for the May beer tasting at Castro’s featuring beers from England, I did a little pre-tasting of my own. This brew is from Lancashire, home of numerous things, including Morris Dancing. (Sorry for the iPhone pic again. Left DSLR at my mum’s…..) Beer pours from a 500ml bottle with no freshness date I […]
I must say, I’m a big fan of Greene King and their mighty IPA, so I’m surprised this can sat in my fridge as long as it did! Poured from a 500ml can with a best before date on the bottom, the brew is brown with slightly reddish tones to it. An initial 1″ foamy […]
Ahhhhh, English bitter. How do I love thee? For me, drinking English beers normally comes in waves, but this was a rogue one. Still, I have never had Marstons, and the bottle beckoned me when I opened the fridge. From a 500ml bottle with a very English looking label and the best before date on […]
Don’t know if this is a new high or a new low, as it’s only 9:50 am, but there it is. To be fair, I’ve been awake since 7, so my body thinks it’s at least 11. Plus I’ve waited about as long as I could to drink this so I guess it’s time. Also […]
