Like a spiked latte, but better!

One of the latest trends to hit cities like Toronto and New York is the "beer cocktail". Ontario craft beer, with its fresh, full flavour and range of styles, makes a perfect ingredient for trendy new beer cocktails. Beer-tenders across North America are beginning to take notice and experiment with new recipes in bars and restaurants.
