95/1076) Church Key Brewing, Petherick's Corners:  Red by Church Key Brewing of Ontario:  *1/2;  an Irish red ale with a  sweet nose;  sweet and malty;  very nice

I also had a Northumberland  Ale and bought a growler of West Coast Pale Ale.

96/1077) Stinking Rose, Campbellford:  Small Beer by Church Key Brewing of Ontario:  *1/2;  bottled;  a  fizzy, well carbonated light beer;  gingery; the chef was at Spring Revival which would explain the 'loaded nachos', which if truth be told were not;

97/1078) Stinking Rose, Campbellford:  Pale Ale - Chinook Single Hop Varietal:  **; bottle;  dry, bitter hop notes;

98/1079) Maple Farms Bed and Breakfast, Marmora:  It's The Great Pumpkin Ale (number 14) by Church Key Brewing of Ontario:  **;  7.5%; bottle;  gingery spiced nose; strongly spiced:  ginger, nutmeg, yielding to pumpkin at finish;  brewed with locally sourced pumpkin;  half smoked and half was roasted;

We were in the Campbellford area for a visit to a bed and breakfast, a gift from a very nice lady I know, aimed to coincide with Spring Revival, a music, food and beer festival hosted annually by Church Key.

When we saw people arriving with mugs in their hands we thought that they had some serious beer drinkers in this area but we learned that there are no drinking utensils at Spring Revival.  They pour your beer into a branded mug, available for sale on site.
