Cantillon Kriek at Stillwell Beer Bar in Halifax.

Oskar Blues G’Knight Imperial Red IPA. Exceptional. A beer that is beautifully balanced between the malt and the hops. IMO this is something more beers in the DIPA category should strive for. A truly great beer.

Rogue Combat Wombat. I really enjoy it and think it might be a good Sour for people who don’t actually like Sours.

Black Bellows Brewing Company Himalaya White IPA.

Had Bellwoods Bring Out Your Dead a number of times at Only Cafe. It wasn't served freezing cold, and it's so great on tap. So world class. And had that Iron Maiden Trooper Porter, fun to try but it's highly skippable, The New 10°Lezak Lager at Godspeed is also incredible tasting even with the slig...

I have tried a few for novelty purposes, but owing to my genuine love of traditional IPA’s and DIPA’s, there is no need for milkshakes to become anywhere near a regular thing for me. I suspect this fad will continue filtering up to the mainstream beer consumer long after more hardcore craft drinkers...

Brasserie Mille Îles IPA Américaine
Microbrasserie Le Castor Vin D’Orge
Microbrasserie La Memphré Double Menton

Three very good beers from Quebec. I’ve long been enthused about the scene in this province.

Going to a concert there. Know what we’re doing after, but wondering if there is any place of note in the immediate vicinity for pre-show beers. TIA.

I recall the initial 2006 release of dogfish head 60 minute IPA in Ontario led to major news coverage and an absolute buying frenzy. Our home industry was like 'really? Hoppy west coast sells better than Cream Ales and pale lagers?' Such a comparatively recent transformation yet with such an inunda...

I don’t see anything from Collective Arts on the Ontario release schedule, which is a little disappointing. However, I’m more enthusiastic about the import release than I have been over the past few. I’m pretty sure “Hazy state” is a new CA core beer..... Correct. I skimmed through looking for brew...

Flying Monkeys Sparklepuff Triple IPA. This is the second time I have mentioned this beer but it’s worthy of reiteration. One of the best beers-non-Collective Arts category-currently being brewed in Ontario.
