Mill St. Brewery, Toronto, Ont.
4.6% Bitter
A good version of English bitter, which is basically American IPA’s quiet cousin. Creamy, sweet, with a hint of caramel malt, and (standard) subdued hops, it’s an easy pub drinker.
Where to drink it: Turn on Coronation Street or sit by the fire for a nice night in.
Pairing: With fish and chips or bangers and mash.
