Craft Beer: What are you drinking now??

Since moving out East I have a whole new set of Micro Breweries to discover. Some are so small they should more rightly be called Nano Breweries. Have started developing a taste for Porter. There are so many to try here - bonus is they are always at local farmers markets , as are local distillers. Quite the surprise that I could buy moonshine at the farmers market. Here is a Stout a particularly like and also the best advent calendar I have ever found. Cant wait to get it started.14938db8-7c62-4757-b17f-576b317f6cc0.jpg20211107_170943.jpg

Those are all excellent (and quite different) styles of beer.
Jutsu has become the flagship beer for Bellwood’s.

La Chouffe is a fantastic Belgian blonde...but this appears to be an IPA ...cool! Houblon is French for hops.

The ABT 12 is a delicious Belgian brown or Flemish red...I can’t recall.
My least favourite of the bunch is the sour from Collective Arts.

You have an excellent BiL!

Cheers

Rob

Growlers are a big thing there. Gets repeat customers and saves some coin.
Picaroons is one of my favourite out there and always has good seasonal offerings. Give the Picaroons “Winter Warmer” a try.

Had some growlers here at the Pump at Dundas and Mississauga Rd….think there was something wrong with the keg as I got sick from it. Never again.

As for East Coast….great growler experience when we were travelling through.
 
I know , wrong thread. I'm taking a break from craft beer till after Christmas unless I'm gifted a beer.
I love the variety and taste , I'm tired of spending $4-9 bucks on a beer that just isn't delightful.

The turning point was developing a friendship with a local brewer, they had a beer that wasn't moving, relabeled and it sold out.... must have been the flavor.

I'll be back in January

If it has a “Made in Belgium” label on it, I’ve never been disappointed. Their brewers are devious little wizards.
 
Nice haul today:

Belgian St Feullian Cuvée de Noel strong beer St-Feuillien Cuvée de Noël - The Brewery St-Feuillien

Some more Boho, Belgian cherry beer, absolutely delicious Boho Organic Cherry Beer | LCBO

Plus some more Rochefort #8 (a nearly perfect beer according to most reviews) Trappistes Rochefort 8 | Brasserie de Rochefort

Then a new one to me, Duvel 666 Duvel 6.66 | Brouwerij Duvel Moortgat NV 6 different hops! Not tried this one yet but looking forward to it!

Recently had a bunch of Innes & Gunn beers too, they have all been fantastic. There’s a sampler pack with a free glass in the LCBO right now. Innis & Gunn Gift Pack | SDP

The cherry beer is really good! You get a tiny bit of malt whisky taste from the casks they use. Excellent stuff.
 
Mackinnon Brothers Wild Peppermint Stout. I was a bit wary about this one, thought I probably wouldn’t like it but they actually balanced it very well. It’s not really that minty, just gives a bit of a zing as an aftertaste. It’s actually not bad at all. These brewers haven’t had a dud yet and I’ve tried everything they have made. I bought this beer from their brewery yesterday as they had a winter fair on their farm. Firepits, s’mores, food vendors, bar, craft fair and music. Nicely done!

Fracture from Amsterdam Brewery. Nice strong imperial ipa. 9% alcohol. Double hopped with a nice creamy mouthfeel. Nice beer. I only got one can to try, I’ll be buying some more.

Amsterdam makes some good ones.
Boneshaker is fun.

Their Tempest Imperial stout is amazing when you can find it.
