About
WHEN YOU START SOMETHING CAUSE YOU WANT TO GET RICH, YOU MISS OUT ON DOING WHAT YOU LOVE.

Every time you raise a Hockley, you are drinking the beer that fate conspired – and failed – to deny you. But, when you’re passionate about something, you tend to just smash through the roadblocks.

The Hockley mindset is about doing things as you wish they were done, pushing stubbornly through setbacks to maintain a culture worthy of the audience loyal to the beer and the philosophy that drives the brand.

Georgian Bay Beer from Hockley Valley Brewing Company

6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6
473ml can from the LCBO.
Dark golden pour, nice frothy head. Aroma is dominated by a sweet bready malt. Flavour is more of the same, a nice sweet brerady malt that is trailed by a slight vanilla flavour. Mouthfeel is full, and creamy. A decent beer, not too bad. Nothing fancy or complicated, but well done.

Nice roasty chocolate/coffee aroma. Flavour is sweet, and creamy. Tastes of chocolate, coffee, and a touch of fruit. Very smooth, with a touch of bitterness in the finish.

Classic Lager from Hockley Valley Brewing Company

3.9/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 4 Flavor 4 Texture 4 Overall 3.5
Can from the LCBO. Pours a clean very light-golden colour with a fizzy head that disappears quickly, leaving no lace. Malty nose on the wet hay side with some caramel notes. Pretty mild tasting with the same characteristics found in the aromas. A little too sweet overall in the finish. Would not have another, but better than macro lagers.
