Una Más or Una y Listo

Una Más or Una y Listo

“Una Más” required a frantic reach out to the COMDB translation department. With their trademark disdain to all of us who are unilingual, they informed me that “the obvious translation is “one more”. I told them, “but I’m a one and done kinda guy”.  “Una y Listo? Ese...

Just A Bitter Phaze I’m Going Through

Despite a sometimes hazy memory to go with a hazy IPA, this Haze Phaze beer did look very familiar. It was when I tasted it that I remembered RA sampled this Mill Streeter at the Blue Jays game and remarked that it was “bitter up” during his seventh inning stretch. It...

Mutiny on the Bounty

I was so looking forward to this Roxy Roller* and thought it might turn some heads tonight. I had visited Counterpart and even took a picture of the counter, well part of it anyway. The people there were very nice and it looked like a great place to partake in a brew...

A Close to Home Roam

All those who wander are not lost, and all those who roam are not Roman. I’ve done my fair share of travelling and let me assure you, the novelty has worn off. Leon Redbone said “home is where you hang your hat.” Is it coincidence, or convenience, that I actually hang...
