After London made their taste match, Montreal was more motivated than ever to do it. Based on my feedback, they too only had some minor adjustments that needed to be made and were determined to get it right as soon as possible.
With more and more Canadians enjoying Alexander Keith’s, it’s time to pass on our tradition by expanding beyond our hometown of Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Montreal Makes a Match!
Wednesday, February 9th, 2011We Have a Match!
Friday, January 28th, 2011With such small adjustments to be made to the trials in London, we made sure to do a second round of tasting while I was there. Based on our discussions and my feedback, Mark and his team had gone right back to work to try to get precisely the right match to Keith’s profile and thought they had corrected the minor things that needed to be changed.
Checking Up on the Brewmasters
Thursday, January 27th, 2011This week I checked in on Mark and Peter in their home breweries as they work on perfecting brewing Keith’s with their teams.
The Formal Tasting Room
Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009Judging beer quality is taken very seriously and no external influences can be allowed to affect the perception of the tasters. In this clip I show Scott the Formal Taste Panel room that was built as a taste assessment centre. This is where the Columbia Brewery Keith’s IPA will be compared to the Keith’s brewed in Halifax. As the Accreditation Process dictates, only through this level of sophisticated assessment can a flavour match be declared.
The Daily Tasting Panel
Friday, May 29th, 2009In one of my previous posts, I talked about the Keith’s Daily Tasting Panel . In this video, Scott and I review in more detail what goes into the daily tasting. Once Creston is accredited, Scott will also be completing this daily tasting to ensure that the Keith’s brewed in Creston BC tastes identical to the Keith’s brewed in Halifax.
Introduction to the Tasting Panel
Friday, May 29th, 2009It’s time for the official tasting of Columbia Brewery’s Alexander Keith’s IPA and Scott has brought some samples for me to evaluate. We must ensure that the Keith’s brewed in Creston BC tastes identical to the Halifax brewed Keith’s. In this video we discuss progress to date of the Brewing Trials at the Columbia Brewery.
