Anyone who drinks beer in Ontario owes LeBlanc and St. John a pint for completing the arduous (no, really) job of cataloguing and rating many hundreds of brands, resulting in a thorough, authoritative and fascinating list.
While I do my best to steer readers in the right direction, Ontario beer drinkers owe a debt of gratitude to Jordan St. John and Robin LeBlanc.
A brewcationer’s bible…essential to all craft beer fans.
This new and improved volume will act as a guide to myriad beer nerds’ self-led beer road trips, will be become as dog-eared and worn as Volume One did on the desk of any number of unnamed beer writers who used it as a reference, and will act as an invaluable introduction to any beer drinker looking to have his or her horizons expanded by the plethora of great beer being brewed in Ontario.
A hugely useful new intro to the beautiful madness that is the current scene.
I started ticking off the brews that I’ve tried, and I’ve learned that I have a lot of beer to discover.
With this level of detail I can transpose my palate to their recommendations and still trust their recommendations. Trust. That’s it. I can trust a book like this. So can you.
A well-written, easy to read guide that every beer lover in or visiting Ontario should pick up.
