- Greg C. is drinking a Runes (Simcoe & Mosaic) by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinPossibly the best of the Runes series so far. Juicy with lots of citrus and a bit of pine, bitter but not astringent, long finish.
- Greg C. is drinking a Ceres Cucumber Lime Gose by Nickel Brook Brewing Co. at King & DufferinThe name promises lime & cucumber, and the beer delivers. Delicious and refreshing.
- Greg C. is drinking a Lug Tread Lagered Ale by Beau's All Natural Brewing Company at Oyster BoyEating a pile of great seafood and drinking some fresh Lug Tread and thinking this is a great way to spend an early Wednesday evening.
- Greg C. is drinking a Rhyme & Reason by Collective Arts Brewing at The RivoliWork outing at a place where I spent a lot of time many, many years ago. The beer selection is much better now than it was then.
- Greg C. is drinking a Barn Owl Blend No. 3 by Bellwoods Brewery at King & Dufferin16 month old bottle. Carbonation is weak, but the flavour still pops with sharp lemon & Peach and a bit of funky Brett. Lovely!
