I like the name of the brewing company and the beer itself. I'm not sure I'd want to drink a beer called "The Backup," and four fathers is better than three. The can design, though, wasn't my cup of tea- it seems like they were in between a wacky design and a sleek look. I … Continue reading Beer Blog 14: Four Fathers Brewing Co.- The Starter
Beer Blog #13: Side Launch Brewing Company- Coffee Lager
I was expecting a way over the top coffee taste to this beer but that didn't happen. Maybe that's because I typically drink such strong black coffee like a man- no cream, no milk and get out of here with that sugar. Anyway, the description of this beer says that it's supposed to be creamy … Continue reading Beer Blog #13: Side Launch Brewing Company- Coffee Lager
Beer Blog #12: Farmer’s Daughter
This is a heckuva beer. First of all, let’s all think back a couple of weeks ago to spring fever starting to hit. The snow was melting, dark cold days were turning warmer and lighter, winter clothes were put away, and there was excitement and anticipation for patio weather and the cottage weekends to come. … Continue reading Beer Blog #12: Farmer’s Daughter
Beer Blog #11: Stella Artois
I guess there was a sale on Stella as I ended up with three tallboy 6-packs for my birthday. Luckily, I enjoy Stella. It’s a smooth beer that you can have a few of at once (something I’ve come to realize this past week). It’s a crisp beer with no bad aftertaste that gets the … Continue reading Beer Blog #11: Stella Artois
Beer Blog #10: Coors Light
The best part of this beer is the can- the mountains turn blue to show you when it's cold enough to drink. Genius, really. That in itself lifts it above Bud Light. Otherwise, it's a watery, not very flavourful beer. It's a barbecue beer, a "lets get hammered" beer. In that sense, it does serve … Continue reading Beer Blog #10: Coors Light
Beer Blog #9: Busch Beer
I've always looked at Busch as the everyman beer. It was for that reason that I asked Busch to be the official sponsor of the DAR Horse Racing League. Being a beer for the people, they actually replied: It was hard to say whether the "Wow hahaha" was there way of saying "this is the … Continue reading Beer Blog #9: Busch Beer
Beer Blog #8: Bud Light
Obviously Bud Light is nothing like some of the fancier beers I've reviewed. It's a kickback beer, good for a tailgate or a cottage. If you're looking to pound back a dozen beers and have a good time, here's the beer for you. If you're wanting flavour, stay away. In judging the taste, there's not … Continue reading Beer Blog #8: Bud Light
Ber Blog #7: St. Ambroise Oatmeal Stout
Here's an online review of this beer from some sort of beer connoisseur: "Like a good cheddar, this drinks very well if left out of the fridge a bit - the sharpness of the cold hides the flavours that mellow with temperature. You’ll find that belgian chocolate taste, the espresso edge... it’s best paired with … Continue reading Ber Blog #7: St. Ambroise Oatmeal Stout
Beer Blog #6: Whitewater Peanut Butter Shake
Big fan of the can, really shows you what you're getting yourself into. When I bought this beer, the guy at the cash essentially warned me that it was too sweet, and too peanut buttery. But I'm a man of the people, committed to reviewing every beer out there! As it turns out, this beer … Continue reading Beer Blog #6: Whitewater Peanut Butter Shake
Beer Blog #5: Nickel Brook Cause & Effect Blonde
This is a beer that has a little of everything, but not too much of anything. It’s hoppy but not excessively so. It’s a nice mix of sweet, citrus and a bit bitter. Not a “get hammered” beer, but I’d drink a few and be happy about it. SCORE OUT OF 10: 7.7 PLAYER COMPARABLE: … Continue reading Beer Blog #5: Nickel Brook Cause & Effect Blonde
