Matt Hodgson's Picks

🌊 Coastal Wines

This is one of those beers that immediately caught my attention the moment it hit the shelves. I didn’t know much about Landwash Brewing at first, but after a few cans, I quickly understood why people were excited to see them arrive in Nova Scotia. They’ve got a knack for making approachable, flavour-packed beer without overcomplicating things.

That Much Ocean is a classic New England IPA — bursting with tropical fruit notes, soft citrus, and just enough bitterness to keep everything balanced. If you’ve been on the fence about IPAs, this might be the one that changes your mind. It drinks more like freshly squeezed juice than the bitter bombs that gave the style its reputation.

Whether you’re sitting at the beach or just pretending you are from your couch, this beer is begging to be paired with fish tacos.
