Day 6 of Taste-Mas 2016: Great Lakes Brewery Imperial Solstice Stout 650 ml
Heads up… Parental Advisory. Brewed on the first day of spring. Put into barrels on the summer solstice. Bottled on the winter solstice…. Pours midnight black with a tight (and we mean tight) mocha tan head. Menacing indeed. Aromas of charcoal, vanilla, treacle, espresso and alcohol leap from the glass with each gentle swirl. The first drink offers a reminder…
The Fourth Annual 12 Days of Taste-Mas
Twas the night before Taste-Mas and all the beer has been bought, not a beer is missing not even a stout. It’s time for our Fourth Annual 12 Days of Taste-Mas. This year is a little different because we are going to end Taste-Mas 2016 on December 30th instead of Christmas Day. Starting later gives us a few more non-work…
Day 4 of Taste-Mas 2014: Great Lakes Lake Effect IPA 650 ml
The Weather Channel describes Lake Effect snow as “a mass of sufficiently cold air moving over a body of water, creating an unstable temperature profile in the atmosphere”. Who cares?

Day 4 of Taste-Mas: Great Lakes Winter Ale 750 ml
Inspired by the long, cold and seemingly endless Canadian winter, our 6.2% alcohol Winter Ale is a true winter warmer. Handcrafted with specialty hops and malts, combined with generous amounts of cinnamon, honey, ginger and orange peel, this unique beer is brimming with flavour. Established in 1987, Great Lakes Brewery is Toronto’s oldest craft brewery. We produce the finest ales…
Great Lakes Pumpkin Ale 650 ml
Handcrafted with specialty malts and hops, we added a generous amount of pumpkin directly into the brew. Combine this with hints of cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, and allspice, and you’ve got a beer that you won’t soon forget. Rich, satisfying and slightly spicy, our seasonal ale goes perfectly with your favourite dessert or traditional feast. But like fall, Pumpkin Ale comes…
