Tamise is a big surprise to me; it’s much better than I expected. The beer is flavourful and balanced while maintaining good drinkability. The small serving size is a bit sad as I’d happily drink an imperial pint of this.

Old Fashioned de Glace | Beauregard Brasserie
Old Fashioned de Glace is a sledgehammer of sledgehammers. The strength is beyond what most people have experienced drinking beer. In many ways, this is an impressive brew and I think it’s totally worth trying if you can get your hands on a bottle. At the same time, this is very expensive and the value is simply not there for me.
Thomas | 5e Baron Microbrasserie
Thomas is a decent beer with lot’s of character and an interesting personality. There’s a lack of harmony between the ingredients and mild off-notes diminish the drinking experience. With small tweaks this could be a really good beer. There’s no question I’d pick up Unibroue’s Fin du Monde or Don Dieu over this.
Il Était Une Fois: La Mort | Messorem Bracitorium
Overall, this is a beer worth trying. What it lacks in the mouthfeel is a small part that is easily made up in the flavour. With a few tweaks, this could stand out from the rest. Recommended.
Widow Vibe 2023 | BreWskey
Widow Vibe is a compelling sipper with remarkable depth. At the same time, there’s no question it’s heavy-handed and comes with fangs that bite. This is not a beer for the faint of heart. It’s worth trying if you have a chance – it doesn’t disappoint even without standing out.
Hadrien DDH | Brasserie du Bas-Canada
Hadrien DDH is a beer worth trying. It starts out incredibly strong with good looks and enticing aroma. It slightly misses the mark on the palate by being unable to match the aromatics while lacking drinkability. Having said that, this is a tasty brew worth picking up when you see it.
Double Descente | Boréale
Double Descente demonstrates excellent craftsmanship, great balance, and an overall superb drinking experience. I couldn’t ask for more. Highly recommended – maybe I’ll grab some more for the fridge before it’s gone.
Immoralité | Dieu du Ciel!
Dieu du Ciel’s Immoralité is a real treat and a stellar beer. Due to its ubiquity in Québec and the brewery’s level of distribution, I find people take this for granted. In a world full of hazy IPA’s, Immoralité truly stands out without losing a connection to the past.
Grande Noirceur Rye | Brasserie Dieu du Ciel!
Overall, Dieu du Ciel’s Grande Noirceur Rye is a beer worth trying. The sheer amount of flavour for a 9% stout is astounding. There’s just something about it that I don’t love.
#Gatineu Is Trending | Brasserie Bas-Canada
Overall, #Gatineau Is Trending might be a beer worth trying. It doesn’t really offer anything outside of the usual hazy IPAs, but as far as TIPAs go, it does a good job delivering a hefty, juicy, hop-focused beer while keeping the alcohol and sweetness in check.
