As the weather warms up, every beer blogger and their cousins are compiling lists of their summer beers for 2013. This isn’t inherently a bad thing, and often might lead you to a new beer you had not tried before. It could also leave you crying into your lager, as you don’t have access to […]

Robson Street Hefeweizen – Granville Island Brewing
So, you can be forgiven if you’re a Torontonian but you have never heard of Granville Island Brewing. Granville is actually known as Canada’s first micro-brewery (and of course, we’re talking one started after prohibition and EP Taylor conspired to homogenize all beer in the Country). From Vancouver BC, Granville Island has been making great […]
Miami Weiss – Great Lakes Brewery
Ah Great Lakes, you and your crazy names. Robohop, Does the Muumuu make me look hefe?, and the classic, Miami Weiss (say it. Remember, that “W” is pronounced like a “V” in German). Miami Weiss, up until now, has only been available on draught at bars in southern Ontario and at festivals, where it is […]
Summer Orange Honey Ale – Rogue Ales
Another one of the Rogue featured beers the LCBO brought in is Rogue’s Summer Orange Honey Ale (I reviewed their Chipotle Ale a few days ago). I felt a nice “summer” ale was just the thing for this lovely hot summer day in Toronto. That being said, I don’t really know what a “summer” beer […]
Oranje Weisse – Amsterdam Brewery
Okay, we all know I’ve got a huge crush on Amsterdam. Disclaimer stated. That being said, I’ve got a bit of a “thing” about this beer. Ummmm, it’s not a weisse. That’s a German style of beer, and the sausage-munchers are a tad bit obsessed about the ingredients, and specifically what is *not* in there. […]
INEDIT – Estrella Damm
Here’s what I know about this beer: It’s made by Estrella Damm, therefore it’s Spanish. The bottle is lovely looking. That is all. While I don’t dislike Estrella Damm, the two beers of theirs I’ve consumed failed to wow me. I’m going to try to be objective.
Hefe-Weissbier Muskoka Cottage Brewery
I can remember being 19 (so, in 1999) and seeing beer from a company called Muskoka, in the LCBO in Port Carling while up at the family cottage. If I recall, I mainly got the Cream Ale from them. I have no recollection, and wasn’t equiped at the time, to gauge it’s qaulity on a […]
Summer Ale – Samuel Adams
Here’s what I know about this beer: The label looks good and says it’s a wheat beer made with lemon zest and grains of paradise. I also know Jim Koch makes damn good beer. If you’re wondering what grains of paradise are, they are a brewing spice used by Renaissance brewers. It’s actually the seeds […]
