I leave beer in the freezer. Too often. It`s just kind of what I do. If you ever forget beer in the freezer, defrost it slowly in the fridge. That may help keep it drinkable. But if it defrosts too fast or it pops its seal when freezing, it will be flat and not a [...]

Christmas Beers – What we`ve been drinking
Posted in Beer and Craft Beer, Holidays on December 26, 2010 | 1 Comment »
My Christmas errands brought me to the LCBO (our Provincially-run liqour stores) and a quick rummage through the beer selection offered a few memories of seasons past as well as a few choices I hadn`t seen before. Here`s some of the bottle`s we`ve tasted this season: Barley Days Cherry Porter (5.5%, Picton, Ontario) The cherry [...]
I might be the worst Craft Beer Drinker in the World
Posted in Beer and Craft Beer on December 23, 2010 | 2 Comments »
Worse. Worst. Worster. Just simply not that good. They all describe me and my approach to my collection of craft beer from around the world. I really wish it wasn`t the case but I think it`s simply time to face the facts. I am a sucker for `scarcity.` Anything that says limited edition or is [...]
Twist top hard to open? Pour the bottle in a glass…
Posted in Beer and Craft Beer on December 18, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Short post today – but a valuable one (at least for the beer drinkers amongst us). I had a different post planned but a timely event served a good reminder and thought it may be a good time for a health and safety announcement. . We`ve all learned that the odd twist top bottle is [...]
I am a Craft….Parody?
Posted in Beer and Craft Beer on October 12, 2010 | 1 Comment »
I have shared the following video several times – it still brings shivers to me when I watch it: “I am a Craft Brewer” was commissioned by Greg Kock of Stone Brewery (San Diego, California). He made it as his intro for a keynote speech at the American Craft Brewer’s Association. He came onto stage [...]
666 – The Number of the Beer
Posted in Beer and Craft Beer on August 15, 2010 | 2 Comments »
This is post number 666 on WellPreserved. A rather nefarious number needs a topic to suit so we thought we’d give a nod to a good ‘ol Ontario Craft Beer: Supposedly brewer with 666 kilograms of malt, 6.66 kilograms of hops, and boiled for 66.6 minutes this 6% beer was originally 6.66% after being conceived [...]
Lagunitas 2009 Correction Ale
Posted in Beer and Craft Beer on August 4, 2010 | 1 Comment »
Another pretty bottle, another pretty beer. It`s not always that way – but in this case, it`s true. Lagunitas (la-goon-E-tas) claims that `this is not a double IPA’ it`s just a good American Ale.` I found this to be particularly accurate as it`s taste resembles a true IPA far more than many of my recent [...]
Dogfish Head Fort
Posted in Beer and Craft Beer on August 2, 2010 | 1 Comment »
When I was a child a fort was something you built before hiding in – if you were lucky you got to sleep in it overnight. I later learned the word had other meanings on other languages – FORTE in music is to play loud and bold and FORTE in French means STRENGTH or STRONG. [...]
Brew Dog and High Alcohol Beer Wars
Posted in Beer and Craft Beer on July 25, 2010 | 2 Comments »
Today’s post was delayed by a lovely visit to the dog park followed by leisurely coffee, a stroll through a grocery store, the introduction of a pork shoulder to the slow cooker, some laundry, a few humus sandwiches and renting 3 movies to twiddle away a lazy Sunday afternoon. It’s a wonderful day. We posted [...]
BrewDog Beer Videos – Not Your Brother’s Beer Commercial
Posted in Beer and Craft Beer on July 24, 2010 | 1 Comment »
Take two guys from Scotland, remove all political correctness and set them free to try and produce the world’s strongest beer and you get, er, this… Then, when their competition turns up the heat, they raise the ante: More on these guys tomorrow and what this is all about; for now I have to figure [...]
