20/1001) Home:  China Wall by Lake of Bays Brewing of Ontario:  **;  a 7% Vienna Dark Lager;  from their NHL Alumni series:  Masked Men - Edition 1;  named for Johnny Bower, who was minding the nets for the Toronto Maple Leafs when they won the Stanley Cup in 1967;  brewed with barley and wheat;   sweet, mildly burnt caramel nose; mild roast flavours with a touch of caramel; if I am going to have a lager I would choose this one;

After suffering in excess of 200 stitches, Johnny Bower did indeed don a mask - for seventeen games.

21/1002) Home:  Brew Free Or Die IPA by 21st Amendment Brewery of California:  **; 7%;  pleasant hop nose;  soft floral hop flavours;
