perhaps delicious the more you learn about it the more unique it becomes and the more that it reveals itself the more it sucks you in most likely its happened to you with something in your life a sport school subject tv show or a girl whatever it is i m sure you know what i mean but then one day you realize that this passion is beginning to get out of control and you are now totally obsessed it started for me with beer in about 2005 i thought nothing of it but quickly my computer desk was being filled with beer bottles there were bottles on top of it on the shelves in the book compartments behind my monitors and pretty much everywhere i could fit them much to the dismay of my girlfriend at the time i would not get rid of these bottles the 200 some odd bottles then has

posted by stephen rich i look forward to the winter for the ommegang adoration october 5 2010 i ve has countless bottles of beer from brewery ommegang in my life and they always at very least excite me there have been many memorable beers but none quite as astounding as the adoration their special winter ale ommegang is brewing belgian inspired ales in cooperstown ny and the adoration is no exception it is a 10 belgian dark strong ale that is packed with deep fruit and malt flavors and a rich crackling of spices the beer just cries out for the winter it will be floating throughout the united states again from late october to december and may last on shelves even a bit longer than that what i am most excited for is of course to drink it again but also to put a few bottles in my cellar big rich and spicy beers like this can benefit to amazingly with some time to mature bottle conditioning a process by which existing yeast in the bottle naturally carbonates the beer allows for a very real transformation to slowly take place as the beer ages exactly like with fine wine if you do see the adoration on a shelf i would by 2 to age for every 1 you enjoy leave a comment rants

we will be getting back the innis gunn 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

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

unibroue permalink 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

a while the 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

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 canadian i m not sure what ontario s hop farms are like but i do hope that this inspired more brewers to create seasonal beers sourced locally everyone benefits read the rest of this
