Muskoka Hefe-Weissbier

Post by Queef »

picked up a six pack of this recently, and was fairly impressed. I enjoy the style, albeit, not supremely well versed in it (love the schnieder-weiss). From an Ontario brewery I was very impressed with this beer. Aside from the bananna nose and a refreshing hot weather taste, I don't know how to get all technical, other than I really liked this beer.
it's beer o'clock.

I'm a fan of this as well - I'd rank it slightly above the bottled True North weiss.

Grabbed a sixer to go with tonight's camel burgers. Sounds like a good pairing.

Yeah, you have to be adventurous my friend! Tasted like a cross between beef and venison. Paired better with the dead guy than the hefe, but what do you do?

I agree... very tasty wheat beer!

And Camel Burger!? Seriously, where does one purchase this in the city?

Ah, you can pick it up at Whitehouse Meats in St. Lawrence Markey. A friend got a whole bunch in for a barbecue. Its kinda cool, but pretty expensive. The hefe, however, is top notch, and I look forward to having lots more of these this summer. Its light and crisp, and seems to be perfect for thirst quenching.

Camel burgers! I'm in.
I wanted to get some kangaroo, but couldn't convince others to try it.....they said anything else....so camel it is.
Gonna hit the market and see what they can do. Nice!

Oh - and if someone likes this better than the True North WW, I've got to give it a swirl.

I had kangaroo at Meating several years ago. The cut was kind of like a tenderloin. Quite frankly if you didn't know it was kangaroo I think most people either wouldn't really notice the difference compared to beef or if they do, they'd probably think it was bison. It was a little leaner than beef, a little tighter and a little chewier. There wasn't much of a distinctive taste.

I had battered octopus brain in a Chinese restaurant once. It probably would have paired well with the barnyard funk of a saison.

OK, I don't have a problem with eating the brain of an octopus, but beating the octopus first is just plain wrong.

Bison is gratifyingly meaty, like beef + venison X two. Forget those ultra-lame frozen buffalo burgers and make yourself some Maudite stew. (Google the word Carbonnade.)

I want game meats! Healthy butcher, my friends - of you can leagally kill and eat it they probably sell it.
