qUICK, NAME A DARK BEER! When asked this question, most will answer with the ubiquitous stout that is Guinness. However, there is a wealth of dark beer options that perfectly suit the winter season. Darker beers have deep flavours and aro- mas to make them an excellent match for heavier, cold-weather

food. On these pages you’ll find a few styles to get you started, but know that there are so many more to choose from. Perhaps a German schwarzbier , Ontario black IPA or British porter? Whatever your choice, it will be sure to please. Consider this an invitation to try some others.
