Since drupal is free as in both “free speech” and “free beer”, then drupal and beer is a match made in heaven. Which is why it’s cool there is now an Android (and iphone) app powered by drupal 6 called BeerCloud. The android-only feature where you can scan the barcode of a bottle of beer [...]

I returned to the lcbo to replace some of the beers I’ve been sampling for a xmas eve tasting at my parents. There was no more ola dubh to be had so I picked up a bottle of Fuller’s Vintage Ale. I guess I did not read the box carefully enough as it seems they [...] Enjoyed this great article on a variety of winter beers available at the lcbo. I trotted down to my local outlet and picked up several of them to try out. In particular, I was intrigued by Ola Dubh, a Scottish ale aged in scotch whisky barrels. Fortunately, due to lack of local supply, I was [...] While scotch was once the only spirit I consumed, an interest in bourbon and more recently rum has meant less scotch. That said, I always walk past the scotch in the lcbo to see if there’s anything new. This one caught my eye today. Since Islay is my favourite source of scotch, I figured I’d give [...] This week, I was at a cottage my parents were renting. While technically not in Prince Edward County (aka “The County“), it is just across the Glenora Ferry from there. The ferry itself is actually quite interesting…it’s part of the Ontario highway system and is free to use. During the summer, it travels every 15 minutes [...] Another new beer over at GRB: Russian Gun Imperial Stout. At a whopping 9% alcohol, you probably don’t need to drink too many of these at once. The beer is named for the cannon that sits on Queen’s Square, just across the road from the library (I can see it when I look out my window). [...] My parents were travelling to Baltimore recently (we lived there for three years when I was a kid) and asked if they could bring me anything. Initially, I suggested Sierra Nevada Pale Ale which is pretty good and unavailable in Ontario. Then I thought something from Charm City would be more appropriate. I found this [...] New beer from GRB is now available: Curmudgeon IPA. I guess it’s one of their seasonal ones so won’t be here long which is a shame, it’s pretty damn good! On their site they say: Both malt & hops start off subtly but build as you get into it, developing into a marmalade character [...] …or give me irony? I don’t usually drink California wine (I’m an Australian red man) but I wanted to try something different so I picked these up at the liquor store today… Stopped in at Grand River Brewing the other day and was surprised/pleased to see that they are now selling beer in more normally sized 500ml bottles in addition to their 2l “growlers”. They also have several new beers since the last time I wrote about them. I must say I really enjoy their beers and [...] |
