318/967)  Home:  Crabbie's Spiced Orange Alcoholic Ginger Beer by John Crabbie & Co. of Scotland:  **;  4%;  powerful ginger nose and flavours;  fresh orange notes;  very refreshing indeed;  I hope it will still be available when summer rolls around;

319/968)  Home:  Burnt Rock Vanilla Porter by Beau's All Natural Brewing of Ontario:  **; ProAm Series No. 5;  4.9%;  brewed with organic vanilla extract;  nose is malty vanilla; sweet vanilla offsets the smokiness;  a burnt rock is a curling term referring to a stone that has been inadvertently touched by a player;
