48/1029) The 3 Brewers: The Neighbourhood Beer: T.W. Ale by The 3 Brewers of Ontario: *; a 4%, 35 ibu pale ale with a mildly fruity nose; dry, almost astringent tasting with bitter malt and a touch of floral earthy hops at the finish;
Like the Master Brewers challenge, there is a different beer brewed at each location for the Neighbourhood beer feature. This beer is named for William Horace Temple. "Temperance Willie" was a member of Provincial Parliament and a socialist temperance crusader. His efforts led to victories in anti-drinking referendums in three consecutive decades. In 1966, 1972 and 1984 the no alcohol side carried the day. Temple died in 1988 but prohibition lasted until 2000 in Toronto's High Park/Junction area. The beer named for him is described as a prohibition era light blonde ale. I wish I liked the beer half as much as I liked the story.
