fuller's esb, homebrewed wild ale and orval tonight. gearing up for the big tasting tommorow night!!

It only took one experience at a BOP to convince three friends that all-grain homebrewing was the way to go. BOP just does not feel at all like a hobby or a craft. It's like going to a knitting shop where you pick out the yarn and the store knits the sweater for you. not only do they knit the sweat...

Keiths White followed by an Unibroue TP. I was looking forward to my first Russian Gun tonight but didnt get a chance because of the Ontario Brewing Awards.

xocoatl - that's a great and fair offer, if I had a current passport (mines gone for renewal) I'd take you up on it and make the trek to DLD. Fair play to you! I thought passports were only required if you are flying? you only need a passport to fly but they still hassel you if you drive across wit...

of my completed batches my personal fav was my second batch. it was a belgian ale with brett added at bottling. i still have a 6er that’s creepin up on a year old. i have yet to brew a terrible batch and a few have only been "drinkable" but batch 2 is still the best ive done so far. what a...

after a shitty day at work i came home thirsty. tonight its been homebrewed IIPA, homebrewed IIPA, homebrewed Imperial Stout.

The current batch of Orval we have at the LCBO is mind blowing. It super dry and the brett is really up front. I love my Orval when its drinking like this but I look forward to seeing it develope.

I'm saving 6 t...

I'm only familiar with extract brewing Derek, so I can't put up a recipe or anything. But I do have an idea, and I think a lot of us here have echoed this in the past. With the recent introduction of DFH 60 minute and Southern Tier IPA at the LCBO, we have been treated to some quality IPAs finally....

i just had my first of these today. i was floored. i didnt think the golden ale style could be done this well. im going to be clearing out my local @3.15 a bottle. this is the best hoppy true session brew ive ever come across.

Id just like to jump in and say that the Ontario beer scene is starting to change. Several exciting things have already been pointed out in the last few days but to re-cap: 1) Derek's bock getting brewed at Amsterdam What I find particularly exciting about this is that the brewer contacted a beer-ge...

getting into pinot noir

this is my next challenge

point me in the right direction please

Shiraz AKA Syrah

wow i love this grape, the new world stuff is splendid as long as you dont buy the vanilla candied aussies

it actually makes me crave some abt/quad beers but at the price of some of these new world reds the wine might be the bigger bargain

tonight i had 2 True Horth Blonde lagers and a homebrewed Imperial chocolate stout
