For those with a foot in both landscapes – downtown and cottage country – we offer Georgian Bay Beer. Crisp, clean, and light with surprisingly rich notes that will make you a Hockley loyalist.
Freshwater sea of deepest blue,
Great Lakes sky of softer hue,
Pink granite rocks, green white pines,
That’s Georgian Bay, and its colours true.

April 3, 2026: At my lady Pamela's house; canned and chilled, 473mL in a pint glass. From my favourite LCBO at Tecumseh Mall in nearby Windsor. Canned April 22/25. My 2nd time drinking this, and 1st for 2026. Ridiculously highly regarded by Gracie the cat...

I like the beer but not the distribution. Always hard to find in the Toronto area. LCBO shows 500+ plus up North but none available for home delivery or even store delivery. Website says available at TBS, the TBS website says not available, not able to purchase direct.

2A. International Pale Lager
*Clear light straw - white head that falls very quickly. No Lacing - after the head falls away, chardonnay appearance.
*Neutral, not really much in the way of aroma.
*More Bready than expected, unexpected sweetness in the middle, not unpleasant.
*Low carbonation, "smooth" mouthfeel.
*Overall a nice summer beer. I can imagine sitting on the shores of Georgian Bay after a long day on the water enjoying one of these.

Traditional adjunct style lager. Flavour is mild with sweet corn, bready malts and subtle grassy hops. Easy drinking, but not at all memorable. This is a lawn mower beer and nothing more.
