Some beers were dissapointi...

I was very dissapointed when I first had their cream ale a few years ago, which has stopped me from ever going in. Tonight changed my mind though. The waitress claimed there was only 5 ...

had my first bottle of the new batch tonight, and its tasting fantastic. I really wish this would replace the devils pale ale, or at least be a regular at the lcbo. I suggest everyone gets to them before the hoppy goodness deteriorates.

Bottle size wont keep me from buying his product. The price looks right, and the product tastes right. I hope he bottles more of his offerings, because he has quite a few great ones.

Drinking some commodore perry while making dinner. This is my frist time having anything by great lakes brewery ohio, and I am blown away. Great balance here in my opinion. I look forward to trying the other offerings from this brewery. I love living this close to the boarder.
