In addition to the tasty beer, another thing I love about craft brewers is the name game. Fearless and fun names like Long Dark Voyage to Uranus, Gedit D’faKenya, or Juiced AF come to mind. Today I am reviewing a Goose Island " Beer Hug". I thought my puns were...
Elvis had some double trouble* and so did Lynyrd Skynyrd,** and last night the Blue Jays had some too. Now it looks like Rouge River has some brewing. As in their Fresh Nectar Double Hazy IPA coming in at double the ABV of my last brewskie encounter with a dear old...
Summertime seems perfect to try a Golden Ale. So last time at the cottage, I cracked into this Golden Ale from Trestle Brewing company. The art work on the can screams summer, with boats, docks, islands and the bright yellow colour and pouring it into my frosted glass...
I don’t know if you’ve been following the news but it’s a crazy world out there. The LCBO on strike, your local super market and corner store selling beer. A helpful beer store employee told me he got yelled at the other day by someone because they don’t sell wine at...

Yes, Nitro is not just for stouts anymore as more and more brewers are using the technique to make their special brews extra special. Guinness led the nitro charge so to speak, but C’est What & Durham have taken the fine art of Nitro brewing to a whole new level...
The Cold Break crew are doing their own version of the iconic 80’s show Miami Vice.* Flashback to the fashion forward show with pastel coloured T-shirts under Armani jackets, slip-ons no socks, with some designer stubble on the chin. I assume the boat on the can is...
From the whale watching cove of Dildo Newfoundland to the cosmopolitan coast of Vancouver, this is a Canada day weekend coast to coast toast. And the two beers in question are not only at opposite ends of our great country, but worlds apart as well. A Newfoundland...
A citrusy pale eh. I remember way back in the day when Creemore Springs was a craft beer brewer.* Their beer, they only made a lager, would show up very now and then and would be a welcome respite from the Canadians and Blues that were standard fare. But in 2005...
