- Greg C. is drinking a Porch Pirate by Big Rock Brewery at Liberty Commons at Big Rock BreweryNot as big & juicy as most NEIPAs, but still sufficiently tropical with good balance. Sometimes a bit of subtlety is appreciated.
- Greg C. is drinking a Monogamy (HBC 522) by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinCitrus notes up front, herbal backnote with odd hint of cherry candy. An interesting hop strain, hope to try more beers brewed with it.
- Greg C. is drinking a Monogamy (Sasquatch) by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinI feel like a bad Canadian beer fan for saying it but I don’t find that Sasquatch hops work well in single hop beers. Too earthy, I think.
- Greg C. is drinking a Double Jutsu by Bellwoods Brewery at King & Dufferin5 day old can & the best this beer has ever been. Big, bright aroma & flavour of orange & apricot & a bit of mango. Long finish. Delish!
- Greg C. is drinking an Epiphany No. 1 by Black Oak Brewing Company at King & Dufferin4.5 years old, aged beautifully. Dark malt, dried cherry, raisin, port, light notes of oak & leather. Barely a hint of booze. Excellent!
