We have had no shortage of beers with bears to deal with. There was a bear on the run, bear hugs and huggy bears, bear wrestlers, bearded bears (aren’t they all), ominous omnivores, boxing bruins and hibernating grizzlies. The most spectacular bird feeder in the world...
Get this! The Society of Beer Drinking Ladies has an inclusivity committee but I didn’t see any men on the committee. What’s that all about? Here at Cranky Old Men Drinking Beer we have made it clear that you don’t have to be old, cranky or male to submit a review....
COM1 - “Saturday. Let’s meet for lunch at “Pepperwood”* in Burlington.” COM 2- “Peckerwood!* That’s a terrible name for a restaurant”. COM1: “And bring your hearing aid with you.” COM2: “Ok, meet you at 8”. COM1: “Never mind, I’ll text you.” COM2: “A test?”...

Time to put some Crank in the tank. Crank seems like a pretty versatile word. As a noun it could be the crank shaft in your car, an annoying eccentric person, a bad-tempered grouch, or an impure form of crystal meth! As a verb you can crank a crank and you can crank...
Do you think it’s cultural appropriation when Americans talk hockey? Me too. Big Deal is a supposedly a NY brewery, but in this case the one doing the talking is Canadian. Former Penguin/Coyote Paul Bisonnette is part of the Spittin’ Chiclets* podcast and apparently...
This brew is in partnership with the Niagara River Lions. Not familiar with the Lions are you? Perhaps a local rowing team? Or are they masting the jibs and tucking the sails for a regatta? Or maybe a synchronized swimming squad? Wrong on all counts. They are a...
I know what you are thinking. Star Wars days and Jedi Knights. The Force, of course. Jabba the Hutt and nothing but. Maybe there should be a picture of the slave Princess Leia in that metal bikini on the can, how cool would that be.* Ok, now you’ve crossed the line...
