Greg C. is drinking a Space Invader by Amsterdam Brewing Company (Canada) at The Garrison
Late check-in from the other night. Great beer as always. Amused when the wrapper peeled off & it was a Radler can underneath.
Greg C. is drinking a Pilsner by Mill Street Brewery at Mill St. Brew Pub
Perfectly acceptable Pils. Front end sweetness lingers a bit too long, but hops eventually cut through for a good herbal finish.
Greg C. is drinking a Wizard Wolf (Mosaic) by Bellwoods Brewery at King & Dufferin
Mostly wipes the memory of the awful Simcoe/Mosaic version. Less hazy, more carbonation, and better balance. This is more like it.
Greg C. is drinking a Half Way IPA - Across the Nation by Central City Brewers + Distillers at King & Dufferin
Lacks the hazy appearance & lemony tang usually found in the style, but the wheat adds some lightness to this balanced old school IPA.

Starts with sweet tea before shifting to tangerine & grapefruit peel, pleasantly bringing to mind the classic US IPAs of a decade ago.
