Weird Grammar by Folly Brewpub, a Review January 20, 2017 | Kole McRae | Leave a comment It was too cold this weekend. We had to battle wind chills of -20! What better way to warm up than with a 9% peach flavoured fruit beer (or is it a saison?). This thing is funky, interesting and as far as I can tell, gone from the world.

The 8 Beers of Chanukah 2016 Night 7: Thor’s Hammer Barley Wine 2015 Vintage by Central City Brewers & Distillers December 30, 2016 | Shawna O'Flaherty | Leave a comment Thor’s Hammer is a pretty badass name for a beer. I think I would have been happier if they called it Mjölnir instead because I’ve got a bit of a fetish for umlauts. In any case, we’re in the home stretch of Chanukah and I’m pulling in the big guns here. We don’t write about… Read More
