TORONTO, ON – The Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs has announced that registration is now open for the 7th annual Great Ontario-Hopped Craft Beer Competition (GOHCBC).

- Greg C. is drinking an Uninvisible by Thin Man Brewery at Cask Days 2018Well constructed wild ale with a nice hit of Meyer lemon. Elegant, and not well suited to a festival honestly. Needs more devoted attention.
- Greg C. is drinking a Gin Gimlet by Cascade Brewing Company (USA) at Cask Days 2018Phenomenal aroma of lime sherbet and juniper. Flavour is less intense but more complex. Lingering lime, odd & welcome hint of ginger.
- Greg C. is drinking an Export Stout - V4 - CherryBerry by Indie Alehouse at Cask Days 2018Don’t dig this as much as Ralph’s Nuts. (Never thought I’d write those words in that order...) Cherry doesn’t really mesh with the beer.
- Greg C. is drinking an Export Stout - V3 - Ralph's Nuts by Indie Alehouse at Cask Days 2018Holy schmoly! Aroma of rich chocolate syrup and cookies. Flavour follows - big & sweet & rich & chocolatey. Super duper sugar rush!
- Greg C. is drinking a Rage & Love Tangerine & Passionfruit by Rainhard Brewing at Cask Days 2018I don’t usually think of Rainhard as a sour beer brewery, but they do a nice job with them. Flavours are well integrated with this one.
