Lazy Bear

Collingwood Brewery

4.8% Alcohol

Deep Purple and Bruno Mars both agreed that if you’re lazy you just stay in bed.* Farmer Steve is on his third cup of joe before most of us hit the snooze button the first time, “them ol’ Bessies ain’t goin’ to milk themselves “ he tells us.

But when it comes to bears we aren’t just talking sleeping in or even maximum relaxation. We’re talkin’ deep long-term Z bagging with a do not disturb sign on the cave door, as in hibernation. But to be fair, if you’re a bear in these parts then hibernating is a big part of your social calendar. A 4 to 7 month ursus snooze fest helps avoid those lean mean no green months. When it comes to bears, when the going gets tough, the tough go to sleep.

But this fair-weather Collingwood bear looks more stoned than lazy. Maybe grazing in the forbidden mushroom patch. Maybe even hoisting a few too many Lazy Bear beers, which is quite understandable since they are a tasty easy drinking blonde ale.

A sleepy golden bear of a pour, a clear beer. Tucked in with a thin white top sheet. Malt bread aroma to start the night off right. A watery mouthfeel, easy drinking mild malt with a laissez faire crisp finish. A most palatable pint. Everything about this beer screams easy going.** Malt and crisp makes for a delicious duo, a tasty twosome, a positively pleasing pair of a bear. This brew could be a summer fridge stocker, easy enough drinking for your everyday beer drinker who doesn’t drink every day.

That’s one lazy lounger.

As for the Collingwood partnership with Kuma outdoor equipment I see that Kuma sells a fancy pants camping stool named the lazy bear chair complete with a beer can holder on that folder, well done. This beer is so tasty that two cup holders may be required, sounds like redesign time.

*Editor’s Comment: The 1972 Deep Purple song “Lazy” from their classic album “Machine Head” starts out with “ You’re lazy, just stay in bed”. Bruno Mars had a hit with his 2010 “The Lazy Song”. “Today I don’t feel like doing anything, I just want to lay in my bed”.

**Editor’s Comment: Nice oxymoron.

Final Rating: Nothing Lazy about 16 out of 20
