The Glorious Sons * lend their name to this Farm League Lager, and now you have what FL call The Rock N’ Roll Lager. Perhaps I am being a bit pedantic here, but the Led Zeppelin song is “Rock and Roll”, Lou Reed is a live “Rock N Roll Animal” with his solo version...
The Rainhard writeup on Armed ‘n Citra tells us melon and grapefruit. Now I love an anagram as much as the next guy. In reading the description, the eyes they see melon and grapefruit, but the taste is a state of lemon not melon. Will Armed be a dream? Wow, anagrams...
An Arctic apple ale from Anchorage Alaska. An alliteration in pseudo cider, how do you like them apples? My favourite son dropped off this brew that a co-worker had brought back from the Broken Tooth brewers way up in sunny Anchorage. In 1867 Seward brokered a deal to...
“Think the rain will hurt the rhubarb? Not if it’s in my beer it won’t.” * Rhubarb, the vegetable that thinks it’s a fruit. Meanwhile that useless disgusting orange orb of a fruit called the pumpkin thinks it’s a vegetable. Yes, it's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up...
Over dinner at the COMDB AGM and I thought I would get a review in. Who says multi-tasking isn’t productive?* I was intrigued by Sawdust City’s new beer San Diego Dreamin’. Although it appears to be an obvious reference, or play on, the song title “California...
On the lake again this evening, feeding the fishes. No fat bass-tards landed, but a couple of little bass-turds that got thrown back as quickly as an icy IPA after mowing the lawn on a walk-on-the-sun scorcher of an afternoon. Successful or not, every fishing...
It seems to me that Godspeed is pretty serious about what they do and nothing from this brewery is an average day at the races. Case in point, take this super serious stern strong and stately stout. No imaginary friends or electric unicorns gracing this bottle. An...
This lager is smoked and I am stoked for some Canadian football. Roughriders, Alouettes. 3 downs instead of 4, larger field, more men, smaller payroll, fewer fans.* A great quarterback passing school to get into the NFL if you survive the every down blitz.** It seems...
Right up front, I am not a man for all saisons,* but I do respect the genre. I give every brew a fair shake, which sometimes leads to a messy pour but so be it. I am a Gateway fan, and had sampled and enjoyed a previous GC saison, so who knows, maybe another saison of...
Watching a battle of the birds, the Jays, and the Orioles. After our bird boys in blue tied it up early, the wheels fell off and the game was gone to the birds, the orange and black birds that is. Farmer Steve said “bad time for a slump”. Most days it’s a bad day for...
