Chocolate & cherries

This heavenly pairing comes together in porters and stouts fermented on dark, sweet cherries—think Black Forest Cake in a bottle.

Mill Street Chocolate

Cherry Blossom A full-bodied stout made with cacao nibs and sweet cherries ( LCBO 636274, 473 mL, $3.95), it’s the perfect balance of sweet and tart. M ac Lean’s Cherry Porter This smooth, easy-drinking porter with a sour cherry kiss ( LCBO 628875, 473 mL, $3.25) is crafted by O.G. Ontario Brewmaster Charles MacLean.

Muskoka Shinnicked Stout This velvety oatmeal stout ( LCBO 484972, 473 mL, $3.45), cold- steeped with coffee beans from Muskoka Roastery is flush with aromas of roasted coffee, dark chocolate and a hint of brown sugar.

Only six Bavarian breweries hold the prized position of serving up their rich, bready lagers to the masses at Munich’s Oktoberfest every September. Mark the occasion by tasting the classic: Hofbrau Oktoberfestbier ( LCBO 10205, 500 mL, $3.75). Or celebrate locally by camping out at Beau’s rockin’ Oktoberfest and drinking their fresh and grainy Night Marzen ( LCBO 10302, 473 mL, $3.45) or by heading to Niagara’s Silversmith Brewing Company where you can sip its take on a fest beer, The Bandit ( LCBO 12389, 473 mL, $3.65), aGerman-style smoked lager.

Beau’s + david s tea London Fog

The first release from the Beau’s x DAVIDsTEA beer series infuses the brand’s London Fog blend in this pale ale (LCBO 12284, 473 mL, $3.65). The result is a floral, lightly spicy, smooth beer with a creamy, vanilla finale.
