About
In 1984, we were the first craft brewers in Ontario. With a dedication to precision, detail and pure ingredients, we were – and still are – making the kind of beer we’d choose to drink ourselves. As Ontario’s first craft brewer, we look back to the past with pride and are excited for the future.

4.9/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 3 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 4.5
It’s high in carbonation and not bitter like a schwarzbier should be, but there’s not much of anything else going on in this one. My can says it’s from the Waterloo Brewing Co. May have changed names... tall can poured into a glass

PC 2.5 g Low Carb from Waterloo Brewing Company

4/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 3 Flavor 5 Texture 2 Overall 5
Originally rated July 2006. This one came with an explaination of why it came in a brown bottle. All PC beers come in a clear bottle, and this one will go back to the clear bottles as soon as they can make more. Light yellow in colour with a white head that don’t last long, but creates a thin layer on the brew. Active carbonation with not much of aroma. Mild grain and corn scent maybe. Watery mouthfeel with a slight syrupy feel. The taste starts off sour (kind of citrus) and last until the finish where grainy malt and light corn are present. Not as much corn as in all other PC beers though. Not a whole lot of punch, but a satisfying brew for summer and the love of our belly.

Laker Lager from Waterloo Brewing Company

3.5/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 3 Flavor 4 Texture 4 Overall 3
There’s nothing I like better than finding yet another cheap lager with a name I don’t recognize..... and all the wonders of why it’s made ensue. Has a boring golden body with a weak head. The aroma is tin and slightly rotting cabbage. Flavour is weak cardboard with a dry particle-board finish and a slight hint of brown sugar. Boring, bad, but vaguely refreshing.

4.5/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 3 Flavor 4 Texture 4 Overall 6
Originally rated September 2006. This cheap schwarzbier pours a dark red-brown colour with a good creamy tanned head that has decent retention and nice thick lacing. The carbonation is quite active with tiny bubbles. The scent is mild with malt at first, then turns into a mix of roasted malt and not-so-good sourness. Smooth mouthfeel with a slight crispiness to it. The taste is mild too, with some little molasse very well-hidden and some corn. Overall, it is one of the better brews from Brick Brewing, but for the style, I much prefer the Kostritzer and the Escousse. This is a dark lager to be enjoyed from the bottle.

Can. Reddish dark brown color with small foamy tan head, no specific aroma, slightly sour, stale metallic taste, mild carbonation, abrupt finish. Disappointingly tasteless beer. Though the beer is listed under Brick Brewing Co and found under the website, Waterloo Brewing Co is put on the can as the producer.

PC Blanche from Waterloo Brewing Company

5.1/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 5.5
Originally rated July 2007. This beer comes in a 12 pack, for one dollar more than their other swill lagers. It pours a cloudy golden-beige colour with a decent creamy-foam head that has pretty good retention, and very nice lacing. The nose is malty with some of that Belgian white yeast. Smooth watery mouthfeel, with very mild stickiness as it goes down. The taste is pretty light, with mostly malt and maybe wheat in the background. Some little citrus in the aftertaste. Above average for a PC brew, but too light tasting to be a good witbier. Good on the wallet though, and just right for the summer.

Brick Waterloo Wheat (2009 version and later) from Waterloo Brewing Company
15 years ago
5.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 5 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 5
Originally rate August 2009. Quite new at the LCBO in cans, following the trend of most breweries making witbiers this summer 2009. Pours a blonde colour with some light haze, mild carbonation, a decent big white head that is creamy, above-average lasting and has little lace. Becomes very cloudy when the can is fully poured, and sediments are all over. The aroma is pretty grainy with some sour citrus, more on the orange side. Mild spices like cloves. The taste is pretty light with the fruit, grain, and the wheat that shows up in the aftertaste. Not a bad brew, but finding the mix in the flavours lacking a bit of finesse. Also, kind of different to have a witbier in a can (I find). You cannot see the residue in the bottom of the can, like you can (no pun intended) in a bottle.

PC Cerveza from Waterloo Brewing Company

4.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 4 Texture 4 Overall 3.5
Originally rated October 2009. Another new one for President’s Choice brewed by Brick. Pours a light golden colour with a small white head that actually leaves chunky lace (which is the most I have to say for this beer). Grain malt nose and crisp refreshing mouthfeel. The taste is a little bready at the start, but very mild, and corn comes out in the aftertaste. There is something about the flavour that comes after the corn which bothers me (kind of on the vegetable side). Not disgusting, but probably will never have again.

PC Light from Waterloo Brewing Company

4.6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 4 Texture 4 Overall 4.5
Yep... PC brews brewed by Brick Brewery comes in clear bottles. This one only came in a 12 pack... oh well. Pours a light golden colour with a medium-sized white head that stays a little and creates a chunky top to coat the beer with some lacing. Cheap malt scent with some corn, but not bad at all. Watery mouthfeel with a little stickiness. The taste has a little metallic taste at first, but then goes into this malt/corn flavour that does not stay long. Refreshing, crisp and not as corny as I thought this would be (like most other PC brew). Pretty decent for a cheap light beer.
