Christoffel Winterbier
Happy New Year to all. Decided to kick off 2012 with a Christoffel Winterbier. This one only appears for a limited time and comes in a beautiful winter themed bottle. This beer from The Netherlands, is a orange, cloudy colour reminiscent of an unfiltered beer. Typical of an English style ale in taste, with a hint of bitter aftertaste. The best part is the bitterness is not overwhelming. I certainly would recommend this one to warm you on a cold winter’s night. Comes in a two litre jug, so bring a thirst or share with friends or family. And when these do become available grab one quick since they won’t last.

About My Beer a Day (or whenever I feel like it) Blog
Hello everyone, ever found yourself looking at the beers in the imported or specialty section, thinking to yourself, I wonder if that one is any good. Well I have started this blog giving my opinion on a variety different beers and hopefully I can help you out. I am a beer lover who enjoys trying different brands. I am by no means an expert, just a regular guy who enjoys sampling beers. I will be drinking different beers from around the world, one beer a day (at least most days), and commenting on them. I will drink each beer chilled from a chilled mug or glass (my personal preference) and then rate them. Most of the beers I am reviewing have been purchased from the LCBO or Beer Store in Ontario. Most beers will be 500 ml bottles or cans. If you are interested in trying any of the beers I have recommended, try your local LCBO, although some are only available for a limited time. At the moment I am concentrating on imported brands and occasionally I will be commenting on local specialty beers. I will not be commenting on big name brands such as Molson Canadian and Coors Light.
If you are looking for a place to tell you what beer goes best with a certain cheese or cavier, then move on this isn’t the place for you. If you think beer goes with Pizza and Chicken Wings, then welcome to my blog.
Your comments are welcome, let me know if you agree with my opinion.
“Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed – Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn’t drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, ‘It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver.’“
