And don't forget March in Montreal which will be comming up very soon. The ALES comp is one tough cookie to crack. You have to have really good beer to score a medal in that one. Entering a comp is all about getting great feedback on your brews so you can improve. The Yeast Wranglers comp is another...

You've obviously never tried their Cherry Cough Syrup.
And I think I'll pass on that. Not much into fruit flavoured brews.
Mort Subite excepted.

Unfortunatly, even though he did an extra brew this year, it is still only a seasonal and won`t be available until next Christmas unless you are lucky to snag one still on a shelf somewhere.
I`ve been pestering him to make it a regular, but so far he`s satisified to keep everything as is.

Storm Brewing in Nfld's Coffee porter

Storms offerings this year with his Coffee Porter were in line with last year. Great coffee nose medium body, great chocolate/toffee/coffee taste with a lingering coffee aftertaste. Head was low, but a lot of his beers have low head. Over all a nice creamy beer that I enjoy this time of the year. We...

Ah, I did pick up one at Howley Estates.

They must have been all out at the Liquor Store, all I could get my hands on was the Wheat.

I'll look around for it.
