After a visit to the windswept and craggy shores of Manitoulin in search of the ever elusive Haw berry, it’s time to shift gears and grab a seat on the sun drenched sands of PEI. Armchair island hopping right into the PEI Brewing Company’s Beach Chair. Both Island...
Big Rig are hauling us down south of the border, two borders to be precise, for a cerveza siesta among the agaves. ”Saludos y buena salud” I say.* Full disclosure, I had to consult with the COMDB translation department for that one. They tell us to pop a top and enjoy...
In case you were wondering, apparently Beerios is what you get when you substitute beer for milk in your Cheerios for breakfast. Now I’m not much of a day drinker, but if the occasional noon or afternoon quaff is in the cards, I’ll deal with it. But beer in my...
Holman’s description sounded great. “Golden toffee aroma, grainy malt flavours, and a dark chocolatey finish.” In fact it sounded almost too good to be true, like those ads on TV. And me, a self-confessed amber lover, well I wasn’t over the moon in anticipation of...
I remember working the night shift back in the day. Blackout blind on the window, do not disturb sign on the door. Eleven o’clock alarm clock. A thermos of Joe to go. No big bosses around to boss you around. It wasn’t bad once you got used to it. But 6 months of...
Out of Left Field and into my glass, one Bird Watcher. Our baseball crazy brewer is obviously referring to a major league baseball team. Of the 30 teams in the major leagues only three of them have gone to the birds. The Orioles, the Cardinals, and the Blue Jays are...
Repackaged and in for a new review. Let’s see if this 5 O’Clock shadow grows on me. With the time change it just so happens that 5 O’Clock comes earlier now.* Unfortunately for me, or perhaps this review, that one hour we lost was the hour I had planned not to be...
I saw Grace Potter and the Nocturnals in concert in Orlando many years ago. It was in a small venue where you bought a beer and stood in the pit. It held maybe 400 people tops. Great band, high energy, and Potter has the “Voice”. Why am I rambling on about Grace...
Maybe the Dinghy Dock? Or perhaps the Black Bear? Could be Carlos O’Bryan’s or even Jinglepot. I’m not sure what bar in Nanaimo they are referring to but I’m 4,435 kms away from any one of them so it’s a moot point. Popping the top on this extra tall boy to watch the...
I saw this German Pil in the beer fridge, leftovers from Oktoberfest I assume. Got my pilsner glass out of the freezer and was ready to pour when something caught my eye. It was the letter “H”. The beer is a Phil, not a Pil. What the “H” E double hockey sticks is that...
