Re: Nova Scotia

I was in Halifax this past weekend. Unfiltered is making some excellent IPAs. I loved the Double Orange Ale. The departure lounge at Halifax airport now has a liquor store selling only Nova Scotia products. A small but good selection of beer. Some Boxing Rock, Spindrift, Nine Locks. It is after secu...

Mill Street Brewpub--- St John's Newfoundland

Mill Street has posted a Head Brewer position in St John's Newfoundland.

Re: Prague and Plzen

I loved the fresh Pilsner Urquell in the tunnels at the end of the tour. Before you leave, ask for a refill. Worked for me :D The beer at Na Splice restaurant across the courtyard is pretty damn good as well. U Medvidku in Prague has Tankova Budvar. It was the only place in Prague with it. When you ...

I can see it coming. All the Wynne government is going to do is introduce a fee/tax/monopoly service charge to extract more money from the Beer Store. Nothing else is going to change.

New Albion Ale clone (one gallon)

The guys at Basic Brewing are doing a one gallon New Albion Ale clone and are asking others to try their recipie and compare the results. Very simple brew: two pounds of two row, 3 additions of 4 grams of Cascade hops, and ferment with US-05. It was a fun brew. I added a little yeast nutrient and it...
