Go to the Saint Somewhere brewery in Tarpon Springs Florida. Tarpon Springs is not far from Dunedin. Very nice people at Saint Somewhere, making good Belgian style beers. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=14781242&l=b4f2d6d75e&id=754420523 http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=14781239&a...

I just bought a bottle at the NLC here in St John's. :o $19.95
It would be interesting to have a bottle of Deus to compare the two.

The only place that I've been on that list is Prague/Czech Republic and I loved it. I've been there twice and I hope to return many times. As Milos recommends, Evan Rail's book Good Beer Guide Prague and the Czech Republic is a great resource. But it is just a guide not a must see or must not see li...

Yellowbelly's next seasonal

Just back from the Yellowbelly. Liam gave me a preview taste of his next seasonal, "Landsman II". Hopped with Citra hops. Mmmmmm hops. I think its his best yet (yeah, I know, I always say that). On tap in five days. If you like high hopped beers don't miss this one. I had a glass of it unf...

I'll give you my personal view of the history of craft beer in Newfoundland.

Thanks for the pictures Cagiva. Loving the artwork, did you buy that poster or is it just from the brewey? Because I want it. The Bog Father poster was given to me at the brewery. I asked if I could have one, they took that off of the wall and gave it to me. Nice people at Beau's :) It is only 5.5 ...

I'll bet I have the only six in Newfoundland! :D Had great time in Vankleek Hill yesterday. A good tour of Beau's, and a nice lunch (with Bogwater) at the Blueberry Hill Bistro.
The Bog Father is very good!

Eeek, $12.50. Oh well, if it's like everything else he has I'm sure to enjoy it.
I always buy my Yellowbelly beer at the brewery. That way I can have a stout on tap ;) It is excellent on tap.

Christmas beer at the Yellowbelly

The Yellowbelly here in St John's Newfoundland has their Christmas beer on tap. They hope to have it in bottles by the end of next week. I enjoyed my half pint this afternoon. Lots of banana up front, followed by christmas spices /nutmeg finish. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=16298966&l=3...

I'd recommend U-Medvidku as well. The Budvar is excellent, and the small brewery makes very good beer. U-Medvidku also has a small shop upstairs selling Czech beer glasses and t-shirts. Galerie Piva (differant than Pivni Galerie) is a small bottled beer shop just off the Charles bridge. Good selecti...
