Not our first Siren call, we have sampled this UK brewer’s Broken Dreams and expressed our super suds appreciation. But this brew is a whole different kettle of fish. Named after an Italian liqueur*, this one is a strange and compelling combination of grapefruit sour...
There’s Juice Newton, everyone’s angel of the morning, or OJ “The Juice” Simpson running through an airport. Dr. J and MJ both had some juicy moves, and then there’s our old buddy JT trying to plead a case at the bar. But you will never, ever run into anyone juicier...
Having a dinner with some civil engineers, looks like the menu is jumbo shrimp with a dark lite. Since these oxymorons are all old news. any enthusiasm for them is usually found missing, and all we end up with is intense apathy followed by a deafening silence. Maybe...
Sampling a Grand River this evening, doing some river drafting. Perhaps the grandest river is the River Styx of Greek mythology, the waterway to the underworld. For most it was their last river rafting adventure. Hercules went down on a labour of love to do some dog...

Bowie was daydreaming about it, Frank wanted us to fly him there, and Niven thought it was a balloon. Pink Floyd was interested in its darker side. Audrey Hepburn scored Oscars and Grammys for mooning over a river. And Bruno Mars was actually talking to it. That moon...
MC Hammer was a chill MC with those baggy pants and more moves than a chess master.* Mike Hammer was a hot headed, hard boiled, hard hitting, and hard living private eye.** This brew is so cool it’s a Frost Hammer, a double dose of IPA chill and swill. It’s also a...
I made a round trip to the bar to pick up three beers for our wrap and tap show. With drink tickets in hand it's equivalent to a free beer round going down, which just so happens to be my favourite kind of round. And when it comes to the show, those in the know know...
Euro Pilsner and right away I thought of the movie Euro Trip and Matt Damon stealing the show as the band leader making it on the side with Scotty’s girlfriend while singing the song “Scotty Doesn’t Know” on stage with Fiona with Scotty in the crowd. * “I did her on...
