The Cambridge/Kitchener/Waterloo region has become a hotspot for beer lovers. Sleeman and Wellington have been brewing there for a long time but in recent years there has been an explosion of craft breweries popping up. Jackass Brewery opened on February 23, 2018 and has become one of my favorite spots in the region. This brewery was started by brothers Keith and Wayne Saunders who started home brewing (stop me if you've heard this one before) and decided to go out on their own. At first, they kept their day jobs but, as far as I can tell (due to their hours of operation) they have moved on from those jobs. Funny story about the name; The brothers simply call each other "Jackass" so that's where they got the name for their brewery. The brewery is located in a industrial plaza. My visit was on a Saturday, in Feb 2019, and the place was packed, 1 open seat was available when I sat down for a pint. I've yet to go back but, due to their location being close to my sister and brother in law's house, I have had a few more of their brews. Today's post will include 1 pick for "Jer's pick" but i'd like to give a quick "nod of the cap" to; Living the Dream Raspberry Sour. It was brewed in celebration of their first anniversary and is a very good sour. Considering I've tried 5 of their beers since I first discovered them in Feb, I'm only going to make the 1 pick but I have a feeling that number will continue to grow (check out my Instagram and Untappd). Jer's Pick Sun Kiss IPA: Juicy, citrusy, hazy, hoppy and overall, delicious. It's a New England style IPA, one of my faves, and was the first beer I tried by Jackass. It left quiet an impression on me. I picked up 4 beers from the fridge with intention to buy and head out but I realized that I had some time so I decided to have a pint of Sun Kiss, I enjoyed it so much after the first sip that I immediately changed my mind and grabbed 3 more bottles.
