TORONTO, ON – Black Creek Historic Brewery has announced details of a new limited edition beer inspired by the original India Pale Ales of the 1800s that has fittingly been released just in time for next weekend’s Victoria Day celebrations.
Black Creek Empirical Ale is a 5% well-hopped pale ale described as “a bitter beer, but this bitterness leans more towards pines and resins than towards the grapefruit flavours of our standard IPA.”
Empirical Ale is available now at select LCBOs in Ontario, selling for $3.95 per 500 ml bottle while supplies last.

- Greg C. is drinking a Collective Project: IPA No. 8 by Collective Arts Brewing at King & DufferinI honestly can’t add much to what the commercial description already tells you, except to say that it’s excellent.
- Greg C. is drinking a Brett Peach by Burdock at King & Dufferin2+ years old but still lively & effervescent. Brett notes have a mild funk that mingles nicely with the peach that remains. A nice treat!
- Greg C. is drinking an Ebb & Flow by Muskoka Brewery at King & DufferinIt has a nice tart citrus character - notably lime - and is clean & refreshing on the palate. The finish is a bit wan & watery, though.
- Greg C. is drinking a Hazy Little Thing by Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. at King & DufferinRight on the mark for the style - hazy appearance, soft on the palate, aroma & flavour of tropical fruit & sweet citrus. Quite nice.
- Greg C. is drinking a Toute Est Dans Toute by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinNot the most complex or experimental beer either of the breweries have made, but a nice rustic saison with a slightly fruity funkiness.
