Long Shadows India Pale Ale
Blindman Brewing – Lacombe, AB 7.1% ABVIBU 68 The Long Shadows IPA clocks in at a whopping 7.1% and 68 IBU! It has a beautiful cloudy and golden straw body and is fairly hoppy and resinous, with a smell of somewhat dank pine. A moderate amount of bitter hoppiness with some fresh pine, a bit […]
Five of Diamonds Pilsner
Blindman Brewing – Lacombe, AB 4.8% ABVIBU 25 I’ve heard really good things about this Five of Diamonds Pilsner from Blindman and it certainly lives up to the hype!

Seriously though, it pours a crisp, […]
Alberta Crude Oatmeal Stout
Wild Rose Brewery – Calgary, AB 5.5% ABVIBU 40 This dark, jet-black oily-smooth stout (hence the name) from Wild Rose is very rich and smooth with a coffee/caramel/cocoa aroma and taste.
