Greetings, humanoids.
It was back in CJ's 4th year of university, when he first heard about Big Rock Brewery. It turns out the introductory financial accounting professor was a fan of beer, and had used the (was it 1997?) annual report to help teach, well, financial accounting. The financial statements were pretty simple and basic back in the day, but the prof really like using it, as he had an acronym to help us learn about the structure of a company's balance sheet: Assets = Liabilities + Equity, or ALE for short... Pretty clever, wasn't he?
Ever since that day, CJ has either loved or hated Big Rock's beers. Grasshöpper Wheat Ale was a big favourite. Traditional, not so much, and DON'T get CJ started about their Rock Creek Cider - it's simply not fit for a Crown Float, perhaps the greatest libation of all time...
So while driving home one day from my day job, there was an add from Jason Gregor who mentioned the Big Rock Rye and Ginger Ale. As you all know, CJ likes all things "ginger" so a purchase was in order.
Very refreshing beer! Not too sweet like a ginger ale, but more of a beer with a bit of the sharpness of ginger combined with a bit o' sweetness. No question, I would buy this beer again and again.

The grade: 8.3 out of 10.0. A very solid score for a Canadian beer...
