Over the past couple of months a lot of people have been asking me about Molson M, now that it is available in western Canada. Of course, I tried it last June during a trip to Quebec (and posted about it here). They are intrigued and unsure about the “microcarbonation” boast and want to know [...] Just back from San Fran last night. Need a day or two to process my thoughts about the American Craft Brewers Conference. In the meantime, you can occupy yourselves by reading my latest Planet S missive – a second piece (for them) on stouts. Regular readers of this website are likely getting bored by my [...] 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 [...] I don’t know about you, but I have noticed a new trend among the pseudo-craft beer brands lately. A couple of years ago, they were all about the White – Rickard’s White, Keith’s White. They were trying to emulate the refreshing taste of original witbier like Hoegaarden and Blanche de Chambly. Of course, they did [...] Your Onbeer correspondent and Yukon Dave (centre) held rapt by a Charles Finkel story I mentioned in a post a couple weeks back a beer dinner I attended with Charles Finkel of Pike Brewing. In that post (which you can read here) I focused mostly on the dinner and pairings, however I promised something [...] Regular readers will remember that I was in Winnipeg last month and spent some time hanging out out with Dave from Half Pints. Well, one of the burdens of being a beer writer is that you actually have to write up your travel experiences to edify interested readers. Such a So I did up a [...] In my latest Planet S column, I offer some advice on how to get into homebrewing. As I have said before, I have been a homebrewer for 20 years so openly admit that am a proselytizer for the hobby. With that disclaimer duly noted, I believe there are very good reasons to get into homebrewing [...] I accidentally slipped past my latest Vue Weekly missive last week, which was a written version of my Quebec City report. The reality is that when I go on a beer-related trip, everyone gets two, three or even four versions of my time there. Such is the reality of writing for multiple publications. At any [...] Another Planet S column appeared this week (much to my surprise – as it was supposed to be the issue without me). It was a piece written for the Summer Drinks issue but got bumped for lack of space. It is on the ever-so touch subject of over-imbibing. The editor asked me to write a [...] |
