Domestic Friday: Dogstalker April Bock


There was a time when I had the time to do something domestic every week, whether that meant knitting, sewing or cooking. Unsurprisingly that time also coincided with the time I was unemployed. Now my dinner was ramen noodles with a (slightly expired) egg thrown in. Then a handful of baby kale because I didn't want to eat a simple bowl of sadness. I wanted eat a bowl of sadness with carotenoids and Vitamin K as well.

However, I managed to find time this week to drink some more Ontario beer. Yes, spring's here, along with crocuses, guides to restaurant patios, and bocks in beer fridges across the land. The Dogstalker April Bock from Grand River Brewing seems particularly sweet, even for a style that's normally so. I did like that it was low on the carbonation though. And as a sweeter, stronger beer (6%) beer, it seemed like the perfect drink for spring, before the hoppy ales and sometimes sour wheat beers of summer crowd my table.
