J.P. Wiser’s Hopped Canadian Whisky
It’s Canadian whisky, but it tastes somewhat like a cross between one and a dark ale.
I like it, and I do recommend it.
But don’t take my word for it; see what noted Canadian whisky expert Davin de Kergommeaux said, here.

Beer and ice cream, together again!
Beer ice cream. Yes, you read that correctly. Artisanal Canberra ice-cream maestros Frugii were serving a range of beery ice creams, including lager sorbetto and Bridge Road Chestnut Pilsner gelato. I chose the one made with 2 Brothers Voodoo Baltic Porter, and my goodness but it was a revelation. The richness and chocolaty tones of the porter translated so perfectly into the ice cream medium. There was a little fillip of hoppy sourness that peeked through and even a suggestion of carbonation, although that may have been my mind at work. It isn’t often that I’m truly thrilled and surprised at a food product anymore, but this won me over from the first taste. Well done Frugii.
Awesome!
Beer Day Out
EP visits an Aussie international beer festival, rates various brews. Despite various disappointments, sounds like overall an enjoyable experience; I’d certainly have enjoyed it, from the sounds of things.
I wish I could try more Aussie craft beers; not many are available here; Cooper’s Sparkling Ale, occasionally, is about it, AFAIK.
The only decent African beer I’ve ever had is S.A.’s Castle Lager; I too am not a fan of Tusker, nor was I knocked out by Namibia’s Windhoek lager.

If you were imagining an ideal way to spend a warm spring Saturday, it might involve dozens of beers and tasty ethnic nibbles. Such was the case at Beer Day Out, a festival of craft beers sponsored by topnotch local booze merchant Plonk, from whence a high proportion of Pensier family beverages are purchased.
The venue was the Former Transport Depot, the location of Canberra’s beloved Old Bus Depot Markets. About forty different breweries and ten food merchants were represented, and when we arrived shortly after the noon opening time the depot was already nicely populated with beer fans, some of them involved in a cutthroat game of competitive Jenga. Here were some of the highlights.
Cavalier Beer Imperial Stout: A hoppy stout with a super-pleasing aroma of ground coffee. It was rich without being heavy, and lingered lusciously on the palate long after swallowing.
