This is the 5th picture of myself that I’ve found online in 4 days. I should start charging royalties!

Great read, Greg.

Comment on Quick Quaff: Newcastle Werewolf & Newcastle Winter IPA by das boot glass

I agree about Newcastle Werewolf. It’s really not living to its name. I thought it’s going to be somewhat harder to drink than it is. When I poured the formidable beast into my mug, the off-white foam faded quickly. That alone says that the beer won’t taste good. And it has this aroma of grainy malt and a little bit of caramel — doesn’t really live up to its name. So when I tasted it, well eh, it’s just a standard beer for me.

About Newcastle Winter IPA, I want to try it but thanks to your review I changed my mind.

Cheers!

Great posts, thanks for sharing. It’s so weird to see Canadian Pale Ale after being so accustomed to American Pale Ale.

Comment on Opening the File on Toronto’s New Breweries by Roger Pettet

A very interesting article giving an insight into the ambitions of several brewers. We’ve certainly come a long way in Toronto over the last few years.
Success to all of you. Just please don’t get too elitist and trendy and out-hip
(out-hop?)yourselves. Brew a staple “session ale” at 3.6-4.2 that carries it’s weight like a 5.0 (not that easy,) and you’ll have a lot of happy punters!

Cheers,
Roger.

Comment on Spirits Sipped: Cruzan 9 Spiced Rum by Sheryl

We need to do a side-by-side with the Sailor Jerry and see how they compare.

I’d guess the Cruzan would work better for baking (fruitcake, rumballs, etc) as Jerry can be a bit harsh.
