| - To Queen & Country indeed.
I've been to plenty of Breweries & Brewpubs. I've had my share of Brews.
Heck, I've even been to a District of Distillery mind you no longer active.
Awareness of Ontario Craft Brews available. I really thought I was edumacated.
I was wrong. I was schooled BIGTIME. By a young miss in mid-1800s period costume.
Black Creek Historic Brewery. HISTORIC being word of the day. CRAFT being key.
Nobody can be designated more as craft unless they handbrew in their basement.
...with a Copper Pot, Kettle, and a contraption holding Wooden Beer Barrels.
Whoever has that Mancave setup with 70" LED Smart Flatpanel TV, gimme a shout.
150+ years from now, someone will laugh at you about that historic LED Smart TV.
As I smirked at the quality of Historic-style Brown Ale, Stout and IPA provided to us.
Here's the catch. Historic Brewery Tour serves up Beer the Historic way, as it was.
No frosted Beer Can showing you it has reached Rocky Mountain Coldness. Why?
Think back when you were 150 years younger. Electricity, Fridge, Machinery. Nada.
It so happens even Carbonation didn't exist. Flat lukewarm Beers anyone?
So you've tried Black Creek from your local LCBO? Doesn't taste as bad as I've said?
Those Bottles my dear Friend are made at a separate Commercial Brewing Facility.
I have a couple in the Fridge myself waiting for something historic to happen, cheers.
Please pay for the Historic Brewery Tour($4.50+purchase of Village Admission[$15])
The one-hour history lesson with the lively young miss alone is worth every Penny.
If the 1858 Canadian Penny is equivalent to $19.50 today. Btw, it's worth much more.
This Brewery is truly Historic. Lesson Learned.
