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 Vintage Ale (2016) by Fuller, Smith & Turner at King & DufferinPort & plum preserves up front, touch of leather, good balance through the middle, bit warm in the finish.
- Greg C. is drinking an Ikinuki Ungespundetes Kellerbier by Godspeed Brewery at Bar Hop BrewcoGood lager with strong malt base but heavy hit of hops as well. Good body, full but not heavy. A pleasure to drink.
- Greg C. is drinking an After Hours: Raspberry Sour by PEI Brewing Company (Gahan) at King & DufferinSurprised to find this treat from my home province at the LCBO. Very good raspberry sour with natural tasting tart berry flavour.
- Greg C. is drinking a Breakfast Stout by Founders Brewing Co. at King & DufferinClose to 2 years old. A bit oxidized but still everything you expect from FBS - chocolate, coffee, tasted oats & more. Always a classic.
- Greg C. is drinking a Monks' Reserve Ale by Spencer Brewery at King & DufferinDoesn’t have the depth of a Belgian Trappist, but for a New World take on a Quad, it’s very good with strong malt base & nice spice notes.
