Hey gang, Mad & Noisy Brewing is a way for Creemore's brewmasters to experiment with other styles and variants of beers that don't necessarily fit the "European beers with a Creemore twist" that their regular beers adhere to. Same brewmasters, same brewery, smaller batches, smaller dis...

I delayed too long this year, if anyone has an extra Saturday ticket they need to get rid of I'd be interested in buying it.

Thanks,
Rick.

Drinking a Wells IPA. This isn't even a good English Bitter, and it's way more of an English Bitter than an IPA.

Cheers,

Saaz, Spalt, and Sladek. :) But now we're getting off-topic haha. I have no idea what hops are planned for the Alt, though.

One of the benefits of my work with Creemore is they know who I am and let me speak freely when I'm Slacks, so let me freely note that when I first crossed paths to work with them I had the same feelings about Molson's ownership and Creemore's growth. I can say that having spent as much time as I ha...

Hey gang, Open and honest up front that I'm currently working with the friendly folks at Creemore Springs on some of their digital and social initiatives, so if you've recently been followed on Twitter or had your YouTube videos posted on that might be me. :) Long time Bartoweler, frequent lurker, i...

Hey gang,

Just came back from my first trip to Richters today, picked up 9 plants at half price. They had a few Nugget and Hallertauer left, good amount of Mt Hood, and tons of Goldings, which they call Golden (probably why there's tons left). $4 a plant, have at it!

Cheers,
Rick.

I can only hope Brick has brewed this with the same care, passion, and attention to quality as they have all the PC beers. That way I won't feel guilty avoiding it like I've avoided the others.

:)

Cheers,
Rick.
