Brews News: Anderson collaborations give beer fans lots of choices | London Free Press

Anderson Craft Ales in London’s Old East Village and Clifford Brewing of east Hamilton teamed up to tweak the traditional recipe for a wee heavy Scotch ale.

Strong, dark and earthy, wee heavy Scotch ales are warming beers for cold winter nights.

It’s 8 per cent alcohol and is expected to be in stock until the end of February only at the London and Hamilton breweries.

With Great Lakes Brewing of Toronto, Anderson brewed a beer that’s the antithesis of a wee heavy: a cold IPA.

The Anderson-Great Lakes version, which soon will be sold out in London, used a lager base, two-row malt and rice.

Look for them to turn to a dry-hopped amber-ish beer in a bid to have something on the board to serve designated drivers or those avoiding alcohol for other reasons.

The Original was matured in pedro ximenez – a Spanish white grape variety – casks from Montilla-Moriles, a wine region in the south of Spain.

The box provides a taste sequence, starting with two bottles of the Original , Original: PX and the spicy-sweet Caribbean Rum Cask.

These superior beers are enjoyable paired appropriately with food.

Quayles, the farm brewery near Orillia, tips a tam to Scotland with Rigs O’ Barley, a rich Scottish ale brewed with malted barley from Scotland, Canada and Germany.

Once bitten? Sarnia’s Refined Fool has a new 10 per cent alcohol triple IPA.
