Lickinghole Creek: French Toast Brown Ale
Very nice indeed. I was expecting something cloying sweet and too heavy for a blistering day — this was just right with what seemed like a sherry finish. alcoholBeerLickinghole Creek

Holy Smoke
If you like your single malts on the peaty Islay side of things, then you’ll enjoy this brew by Church-Key Brewery. It is a delicious dark ale that distinctively utilizes Scottish peat-smoked whisky malt. I’d best describe this as “comfort beer”. I can easily imagine it as a lifting ingredient in all styles of winter…
Olde Winston Smoked Porter
A positive review from BeerMeBC. As an aficionado of Islay single malts and of course cigars, I couldn’t resist checking this out — I’m not overly convinced but it’s a decent enough effort. Despite the regressive licensing laws and ridiculously high tax rate on booze, BC is a hotbed of very experimental breweries and distilleries,…
Real ale drinkers reject bid to widen remit
Good sense prevails! Now join CAMRA. Michael Jackson would have approved. alcoholBeergastronomymichael jackson
Beer Landscape Of New Orleans
Here’s a good overview of the state of NOLA brewing. All sounds quite positive so long as over-hopped IPAs aren’t indiscriminately peddled as good craft beer, as they have most elsewhere in North America. alcoholBeergastronomynew orleans
Smoke & Mirrors
If you like Islay single malts and/or smokey dark chocolate, you might like this brew, not to be confused with- but certainly a good accompaniment to- reading the very excellent Smoke and Mirrors by James Robert Brown, one of the earliest and one of the most smarting bitch-slaps to the social constructivist tripe (typically associated with gender studies,…
Bittersweet Nitro
If ever there was a “comfort” brew, this is it. Looking forward to working my way through Left Hand’s other beers. Beergastronomy
Two super interesting brews
Being a chili head (and brew head) it was a no-brainer for me when I had to try the Jalapeño Ale at the lovingly repurposed Steam Plant (see photo). My initial scepticism was assuaged by the nose which really had the smell of the pepper and on drinking, it wasn’t at all the bland half-heartedness…
Black Plague Stout
A world class stout from Storm Brewing and so much better than the well-known global brand. Cheers! Beergastronomystorm brewingstout
La Fin du Monde
Given that these days it seems the world is going to hell in a handbasket, here’s an appropriately named beer to help ease the pain. I’m not a great fan of wheat beer (though I quite like the dark German variations) this trappist style brew from Quebec is a great all rounder balance-wise and is quite possibly…
