Today's beer drinkers have more going on than these guys. Most of the time, it is pretty easy to feel discouraged about the continuing sad state of the North American beer industry. If they are not buying each other out or cascading the public with ads linking watery beer with opportunities for interaction with [...] I have a thing for a particular Duchess No, I am not talking about the new Duchess of Cambridge. The British royal family leave me decidedly bored. No, I am talking about a Duchess I first met four years ago in Belgium. She was sparkling and toned, sweet but with a noted sharp tongue about [...] Last month my Beer 101 column introduced some of themore common beer faults, described how you can identify them and discussed their most likely causes.The latest Beer 101, which actually came out a week ago, offers a second look at the things that go wrong in beer. This time I look at some of the [...] A kind (and now my favourite) onbeer.org reader generously mailed a bottle of Glenda Sherbrooke my way a couple of weeks ago (before the postal strike).

I [...] One of Canada’s most talked about breweries in recent years has been Beau’s All Natural from Vankleek Hill outside Ottawa. Their beer have been winning awards and accolades in many circles. Sadly its distribution is fairly limited, and thus those of us on the left side of the country cannot get it. However, I was [...] The Woman Who Kept Orwell Supplied in Beer The good thing about having your own website is that no one can curtail you when you feel like going on a flight of fancy. This is one of those posts. Almost none of you would know that I am a huge George Orwell aficionado. Don’t [...] Things are hopping in Edmonton and Calgary these days! Good beer appreciation seems to be popping up everywhere. A couple of days ago, the formation of Edmonton Beer Geeks Anonymous was announced. This beer-y group with an ironic name has been launched to further craft beer appreciation in Edmonton. They claim their mandate is to [...] As was reported last week in various places (yup, I am not Mr. Breaking News these days…) Molson has set up a separate branch to mess around in the craft beer segment (or maybe more appropriately, the pseudo-craft segment). Their new operation, Six Pints, will take control of Granville Island and Creemore, and in the [...] |
