The Armadillo beer from Canada
By Rocky | December 30, 2007
Molson Export from North America’s oldest brewery in Canada is know as the Armadillo Beer, Amadillo, you may ask, well it seems when you put the bottle on its side the ship on the label takes on the appearance of the plates on an armadillo’s back… heard it all now eh? Well anyway the Molson products make up about 40% of Canada’s beer market and the Export is a ale which uses traditional ale yeast and hasn’t really changed for over 200 years, but the brand dates back to 1903. It has a slightly sweet yet robust flavor and is made from malted barley and special Nugget and Kent hops which help produce the rich colour. The beer has won plenty of the world’s most prestigious beer awards and is well worth a try next time you visit the local or a bottleo.

Hemp beer- cool buzz beer
By Rocky | December 11, 2007
There’s a brewery in Toronto Canada called Cool Brewery which is producing a red lager with a hemp base and is meant to be full of natural goodness. The beer features the finest hemp from British Columbia, dark roasted malt from Alberta and fresh German Hopps. The beer is cold filtered and meant to have a refeshing smooth taste. The beer is marketed under the name Millenium Buzz Beer and is getting a mixed reaction, some people think its tasty while others think its a novelty only tasting dirty and not a great beer. But regardless of the taste the product certainly is a talking point and something diffrent to try.
