Some more beer “reviews”: Devil’s Pale Ale (English Pale Ale) drinkvine is a great website for those of us unfortunate enough to have our alcohol needs served by the state monopoly liquor concern here in Ontario. The site lets you create a list of lcbo products you want to monitor as well as a list of stores which are convenient to you. It then cross [...] Between my favourite GRB beer, the seasonally available Curmudgeon IPA and my own German Ale (I’ve now made my second modification to this recipe, upping the hop count each time), I’ve also been sampling some pale ales. I’ve found BeerAdvocate to be an excellent resource in terms of deciding which of the beers available in [...] I found a pleasant surprise on my desk at work Monday morning: a bottle of San Diego’s Arrogant Bastard Ale. My co-worker Phil had been on vacation in Florida and kindly brought it back for me. I’d heard good things about this beer and had been wanting to try it for some time so I [...] 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 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). [...] |
