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 an I Swear Sugarpants, It Was Your Idea 2019 by Sawdust City Brewing Co. at King & DufferinNot sure why there are separate annual entries for this beer, but I’ll go with it. Has cocoa, cinnamon, vanilla & cream notes as promised.
- Greg C. is drinking a Low Voltage by Powerhouse Brewing Company at King & DufferinClean & simple golden ale. Needs a bit more body to be a true cream ale, IMO, but still a well-crafted thirst-quencher.
- Greg C. is drinking a Ryevalry Roggenbier by Mill Street Brewery at King & DufferinFruity esters and sweet malt dominate, with earthy/peppery rye providing a nice backnote. Hint of banana bread as well. Nicely done.
- Greg C. is drinking a Chocolate Cheesecake Milkshake Stout by Rochester Mills Beer Co. at King & DufferinThe flavour delivers what the name promises. And like most cheesecake it’s too sweet for me personally. But I can still see the attraction.
- Greg C. is drinking an Union Pearson Ale by Henderson Brewing Co at King & DufferinRecently reformulated & better for it. Strong citrus character, bit of pine, malt backnote. Reminds me of classic US IPAs & that’s good.
