connoisseur s pack and in this years pack is the strongest innis gunn ever made the winter beer my good friends at innis have been chatting about this beer for a long time now in the summer i had heard that dougal the founder and brewmaster was working on a spiced beer one that he was more excited about than any other beer he has made this definitely got me excited i already love the sweet creamy and caramel oaky flavors of the innis original the idea of a spicier and stronger version for the winter sounded perfect we should expect the connoisseur s pack to be made available late october to november for the christmas release probably the best overall beer release at the lcbo i was fortunate enough to get the connoisseur s pack ahead of time thanks to my good friends at innis gunn and i have been saving the winter beer since until now the time finally came i had enjoyed the original and the rum cask that came in the pack but have been waiting for the right moment to test

it is such a delicious combination of foods from all courses coming together in perfect harmony everything from eggs and pancakes to bacon roast beef shrimp pastas desserts and more make it onto the table beyond that there is usually a wide selection of juices coffees cocktails beers spirits and usually mimosas the classic brunch drink of orange juice and champagne i do love champagne but honestly the classic mimosa leaves something to be desired it always ends up a bit to sharp and unless you are using very expensive sparkling wine a bit to tart ah ha beer to the rescue here is one of my most favorite beer cocktails that people are always shocked and then astounded by the blanch de chambly mimosa it is smoother creamier has a soft vanilla and warm spice character to it and just

posted by stephen rich let the brewing begin october 4 2010 for anyone who may have been wondering why my daily posts were down to 1 or 2 from the usual 5 to 6 a day last week the reason is this gorgeous brew kettle you see here all last week i worked on building and perfecting my brand new homebrew system which features this 30 liter brew kettle from blichmann engineering it took some time but now the system is all up and running and the first batch went through yesterday a pumpkin pie weizenbock homebrewing seems to be the natural step forward to beer enlightenment for the avid beer geek or beer blogger i have been homebrewing in various capacities for just over a year now but i now have a system where i will have more precise control than i ever have before to say than i am

lcbo brings in a beer that totally shocks me and its not necessarily the beer itself that gets my attention but the fact that the lcbo had the you know what to actually bring it in last year the lcbo proved their worth to me by bringing in the ola dubh 12 and 40 while the 40 was grossly over priced at 18 95 for a 330ml bottle i was still excited to have it here as well it is a rare and pricey beer so you can t completely blame them this year the lcbo has again shocked me and more so beyond last year not only are we getting the 12 and the 40 back but the reaming vintages in the ola dubh line are coming that means soon we will have access to the ola dubh 12 16 18 30 and 40 this is not yet reflected on the lcbo s system but was confirmed to me by beer services employee at the sumerhill location

the muskoka cottage brewery harvest ale 2010 october 1 2010 the muskoka cottage brewery located in bracebridge ontario pure cottage country has a slogan that states the taste of cottage country not only is that their motto but it is also the idea behind their newest seasonal beer the harvest ale this could actually be the first of its kind from ontario all the malts and hops used in this brew were grown here in ontario i love the idea this is the second year that muskoka has released the harvest and this version comes in a very handsome 750ml swing cap bottle it is now floating through lcbo locations and will be available while supplies last at select pubs and restaurants muskoka has designed a richly hoppy and bitter pale ale at 6 4 right now it is probably the biggest and most bitter pale ale offering available from ontario in lcbo locations it offers up different flavors than that of the typical american style pale ale which i expect muskoka would like to say is uniquely

1890 it is available at almost all lcbo locations all year round and is distributed all across the united states and is beginning to float across the globe this is all for very good reason too
