It’s the most wonderful time of the year. The Nog Hog is back in rotation and my 12 Days of Beermas packs are secured. Now the temptation begins as I wait for the 12 days to start….. #CraftBeer

Ran out of wall space for my beer label project, so up goes another sheet of drywall to make room. This group is waiting patiently for the paint to dry in the new section. #CraftBeer

This post is a day late & a dollar short, but Beeroween went on despite the weather. Moved inside the garage with a new set up. The rain made for a late start & the Jays game made for an early wrap, but still a success overall. A winter warmer is being planned! #CraftBeer

Got tired of the 401 & a search for breweries brought us to Arbru Brewing in Mallorytown. First time here & should’ve been sooner. Good variety of great beer, great vibe & dog friendly. Also, completely solar powered. Add this to your list of places to stop. #CraftBeer

An appropriate named beer for my first from @LilBeastsBrewCo in a matching glass at home as it took me far too long to pick one up. They had them in white or black lettering. For a guy who loves dark beer from a brewery that does it well, I appreciate the option. #CraftBeer

Sorting the beer glass cupboard on a rainy day & was reminded of a few we have lost along the way. Some big spaces to fill with their absence. #CraftBeer

My wife just returned from a week away & because she’s amazing she hit a number of new to me breweries like The Paris Beer Company. The combo of flavors here is madness…so clearly started with this one. It’s light, minty, sweet & creamy all at once. Amazing! #CraftBeer

The greatest satisfaction in creating my label wall is when I get a collection & have a theme. Not sure if this one from @whiprsnaprbrew is intentional, but it might be the best combo on the wall. Slight shuffle based on release dates to bring them together. #CraftBeer

This is currently my favourite ale. Hazy, creamy and full of flavour. One more in the fridge after this so will need to find my way to North Bay to buy them all. #CraftBeer

And with that, Beermas is complete & so is that section of the wall. This was an exceptional season, we enjoyed them all. Thanks to the crew @whiprsnaprbrew for making great beer & always making us feel at home when we stop by the brewery. Merry Christmas to all! #CraftBeer

I have been eagerly awaiting the first stout of Beermas and was not disappointed with this sweet white stout. It is fantastic!! For the record I have enjoyed each of the days, even the NEIPA, but this is my favourite so far. #beermas #CraftBeer

With the release of Beermas 2024 tomorrow….that makes tonight Beermas Eve!! According to my better half it is poor edict cancel a dinner party to go to the brewery for the reveal so I will just have to time it up from home I guess…. #CraftBeer

Work has been so busy, I feel like I have already worked a full week, yet somehow it’s only Wednesday. So to me that says “Imperial Stout” and if that is the case I may as well have one of the best. #CraftBeer

🎶 It’s the most wonderful time of the year 🎶 When I can fill the top shelf of my beer fridge with dark beer, all is right with the world. #CraftBeer

On our way back home from a couple weeks off in Florida and that always means a stop at @AssClownBrewing As usual, they are mad scientists in their brewing. Exhibit 1: An imperial Gose Exhibit 2: A candy cane stout made with real candy canes #CraftBeer

I don’t agree with the no pumpkin beer policy @whiprsnaprbrew but when they create a stout that mixes in espresso, lactose, nutmeg, allspice & ginger…I think we have found a happy medium. Tastes even better in my 10th anniversary mug. #CraftBeer

I can’t say this is the best pumpkin ale in the world because I have not tired all the pumpkin ales in the world. But I can say this is the best I have ever had, hands down. Perfect blend of spices and bonus that it’s so fresh. Well done!! #CraftBeer

Me: Sits down on the back deck to enjoy a tart sour from @RoyalCityBrew that was clearly made for hot sunny days. Mother Nature: That’s cute. LET IT RAIN!!! #CraftBeer

My son made a run into Gatineau yesterday and grabbed this one at a corner store for me knowing I love big beer. This is delicious with the caramel, cinnamon & vanilla combining for a sweetness that softens the 10% ABV. Might need a spoon before I’m done though. #CraftBeer
