I've had my share of Brews.\nHeck, I've even been to a District of Distillery mind you no longer active.\nAwareness of Ontario Craft Brews available. I really thought I was edumacated.\nI was wrong. I was schooled BIGTIME. By a young miss in mid-1800s period costume.\n\nBlack Creek Historic Brewery. HISTORIC being word of the day. CRAFT being key.\nNobody can be designated more as craft unless they handbrew in their basement.\n...with a Copper Pot, Kettle, and a contraption holding Wooden Beer Barrels.\nWhoever has that Mancave setup with 70\" LED Smart Flatpanel TV, gimme a shout.\n\n150+ years from now, someone will laugh at you about that historic LED Smart TV.\nAs I smirked at the quality of Historic-style Brown Ale, Stout and IPA provided to us.\nHere's the catch. Historic Brewery Tour serves up Beer the Historic way, as it was.\n\nNo frosted Beer Can showing you it has reached Rocky Mountain Coldness. Why?\nThink back when you were 150 years younger. Electricity, Fridge, Machinery. Nada.\nIt so happens even Carbonation didn't exist. Flat lukewarm Beers anyone?\n\nSo you've tried Black Creek from your local LCBO? Doesn't taste as bad as I've said?\nThose Bottles my dear Friend are made at a separate Commercial Brewing Facility.\nI have a couple in the Fridge myself waiting for something historic to happen, cheers.\n\nPlease pay for the Historic Brewery Tour($4.50+purchase of Village Admission[$15])\nThe one-hour history lesson with the lively young miss alone is worth every Penny.\nIf the 1858 Canadian Penny is equivalent to $19.50 today. Btw, it's worth much more.\n\nThis Brewery is truly Historic. Lesson Learned."^^ . . "2"^^ .
