- Greg C. is drinking an Icebreaker by Whitewater Brewing Co. at King & DufferinThe nuances of the Brut style still elude me, but this seems sufficiently dry with notes of citrus and green grape. Too hazy, though.
- Greg C. is drinking a Summerweiss Tropical Wheat by Muskoka Brewery at King & DufferinI could be wrong, but the fruit flavours seem a bit duller this year. They’re still there, but are secondary to the weissbier notes.
- Greg C. is drinking a R&J's Das Haze New German-Style IPA by Big Rock Brewery at Liberty Commons at Big Rock BreweryBeen a while since I’ve had a white IPA, and this reminds me how much I enjoy them. Helps that it gets the weisse+IPA balance just right.
- Greg C. is drinking a Divercity by Lost Craft at King & DufferinI liked this beer a lot in its original form as Pint Pursuits The Answer, and it remains a great Helles under its newer name & ownership.
- Greg C. is drinking an Unifeye by Lost Craft at King & DufferinA step up from most so-called “premium” lagers. Sweetness is kept in check & body is very clean. Nice finish, sharp & balanced. Well done.
