Matt Hodgson's Picks

Picks for Spring + St. Patrick’s Day


Is there a better way to celebrate St Patrick’s day than drinking an abbey style tripel beer? Probably, but stick with me here.

Dieu du Ciel is one of Canada’s best breweries, so whenever we get a new (to us) beer into the store it’s always good to take note. Belgian style beers outside of Belgium can sometimes be tricky to replicate. DDC knocks this out of the park. Floral nose, juicy and crisp from the added apricots, finishing dry with just a hint of tartness.

If you’ve never tried either a DDC beer or a Belgian Tripel, this is a great place to start. I promise it won’t be your last of either.
