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 Dubbel Entendre by Black Oak Brewing Company at King & Dufferin5.5 year old bottle. Noticeably oxidized but still enjoyable. Notes of dried fruit, baked apple, coffee, rye bread & dark malt. Warm finish.
- Greg C. is drinking a Kindred Spirits by Innis & Gunn at King & DufferinSimple & solid robust stout with nicely integrated whisky & wood notes. Sweet but not overly so. Pretty well balanced, actually. Well done.
- Greg C. is drinking a Petrus Winter #9 by Brouwerij De Brabandere at King & Dufferin3 year old bottle. Notes of caramel toffee and autumn/winter spices. Oxidization and fairly light carbonation belie its age. But still good.
- Greg C. is drinking a The Blood of Cthulhu (2018) by Sawdust City Brewing Co. at King & DufferinUnlike other reviewers, the berries really pop for me in this year’s batch. And the booze seems less prominent. Great stuff!
- Greg C. is drinking a Mocha Porter by Granville Island Brewing at King & DufferinWell built combo of roasted malt, cocoa, coffee, with a suitably dry finish. No sticky sweetness as can sometimes happen with the style.
