Pretty well everyone here knows my opinion of Lime Beer. So, needless to say, you can imagine my dread when I heard about the Canadian exclusive release of Miller Chill Lemon. Is no fruit safe from their marketing machetes? When the range of Lime beer came out, I felt some moral obligation to inform the [...] I seem to have a theme going these days. Apparently I have a need to admit embarrassing things and re-think long held views on things. My most recent CBC column is a case in point. I, like many beer fans, don’t spend a lot of energy on blonde ales. Yes, they can be very nice [...] Okay, it isn’t really a wrap up, but it does seem a fitting closure to my adventures on the east coast. I have returned to the flatlands of Alberta and just before I flew back, I did a live CBC beer column from the Hart and Thistle summarizing my observations of beer life in Halifax. [...] I just realized the last CBC column I did before coming to Halifax is on their website (don’t worry, I will be returning to my regular slot upon my return). It was a piece a new look at fruit beer. I have long said that I am not a big fruit beer fan – too [...] I completed my CBC three-part series on Stouts last Friday, and they just posted the mp3 here. I look at the biggest, baddest, meanest of stouts – Tropical Stouts and Russian Imperial Stouts. As usual, I walk through the history and what makes these styles distinctive, and then we taste a good example of one. [...] The second part of my CBC series on stouts ran last Friday (listen to it here). The first part laid out the history of stout, described the basic flavours and aromas and broke down the basic sub-styles (Dry, Sweet and American). This column went into the extra stuff you put into stouts – coffee, oats, [...] I have been on a bit of a Stout kick lately. I have been sampling new stouts, tweaking my homebrew recipe for the spring brewing season start-up (I brew outside), and generally renewing my love affair with the blackest of beer. That has naturally led to some spill-over into my beer columns. My last CBC [...] Goodbye 2010… …Hello 2011! Over the past week or so, in each of my regular columns I did a 2010 Review/2011 Preview kind of thing. I realize mid-January is a bit late to be rolling out one’s new year pieces, but I wanted to wait until they all were out and then do [...] My CBC column last Friday, posted online yesterday, took another look at the new AGLC policy prohibiting beer above 11.9%. The column mostly summarizes the research and interpretation I laid out in two posts when it first hit. However, it still might be worth a listen as it offers a good overview of the situation, [...] Many beer people around Edmonton have heard that Calmar’s Roughneck Brewing (and as I reported here) has recently undergone a revamp, scrapping their canning line for a bottling and introducing a pair of “Brewmaster’s Choice” craft-oriented beer with completely remade packaging and artwork and new recipes. The “new” Roughneck is still in its early stages, [...] |
