Black Horse beer review
Submitted by Emily Urquhart

Emily Urquhart, our Newfoundland and Labrador Beer Delegate.Not available in any other province, Black Horse is greatly lamented and longed for by the many out-migrated Newfoundlanders who populate half of Alberta and a host of other provinces and countries across the globe. 

It's the impetus for no less than four groups on Facebook, including The Black Horse Beer Drinkers group, where homesick Newfoundlanders post mournful missives about their beloved pale ale.

Black Horse beer from Newfoundland.One member is filling his rented U-Haul with cases of Black Horse when he moves to Alberta later this month.

Contrary to the musings of a nameless beer-blogger who claims the head of his Black Horse deflated in mere moments, the froth on my last pour stayed thick and floated atop the golden brew rather resembling the iceberg pictured on the label (along with a black-beauty style horse perched on the edge of one of Newfoundland's rocky cliffs.)

Although these discerning taste buds found the drink not terribly different from other Molson-brewed brands (Canadian, Export, Coor's Light) this ale wins hearts, (beer) guts and points for sentimentality alone.
