Sun God’s Day Off

Sun God’s Day Off

A lazy hazy laid back sun drenched and bake day at the lake. After a burnt bird BBQ, out on the lake casting a line and wetting the net, then a twilight boat ride to nowhere in particular. No grinding just unwinding, powering down and not on charge. In energy saving...

A Fresh Fruit Refresher

A Fresh Fruit Refresher

First we have the old Beau’s tractor burnin’ up the kick-ass-phalt with their juiced AF Hazy IPA. Now the tractor is out in the beery berry patch pickin’ raspberries and down at the brewery, tractor tread squeezin’ limes, for their Refresher. Or what they call a...

A Grisette?

A Grisette?

If you thought that a Grisette was a Memphis Grizzly’s cheerleader* you would be incorrect. FYI the Memphis Grizzlies cheerleaders are actually called Grizz Girls. What kind of a name is that? Sounds like a geriatric cheer squad to me. Why not the Memphis Belles, or...

Red Pole?

Red Pole?

Pola Roja was quick work for the COMDB translation department, being the consummate professionals they are. Spanish for Red Pole they tell me. Based on the name I surmised, assumed, and mistakenly thought the town on the label may be a Spanish hamlet, not to be...

Twenty-Two Tigers and a Hot Dog

Twenty-Two Tigers and a Hot Dog

Check out the artwork on the can. Looks like a nice tiger pattern but look closer. Twenty-two tigers and a hot dog? What’s that all about? That got me wondering how old Noah made sure that those two tigers didn’t end up making a few other species extinct on their 40...

Fields of Elora

Fields of Elora

It could well be that the origin of the word gorgeous comes from the Elora Gorge, a beautiful place to be sure.* Well worth a drive, depending of course on where you live, the mileage you get with your vehicle and the price of gas. Apart from all that it is a...

Staking a Claim

Staking a Claim

Time to pack up the mule and head for the mountains? Back in day, that was the reaction to news of gold in the Klondike. Ironically, what seemed like easy money - just pick the gold out of the stream, turned out to be one of the more difficult ways to earn a living....

Sweet on Argentina?

Sweet on Argentina?

Part of Muskoka’s Big World Small batch series, this one is greetings from Argentina. I’ve been to a lot of places in the world but Argentina isn’t one of them, and to be honest, it’s not on the kick the bucket list either. Let’s see, what’s Argentina famous for?  I...

Here to Drink

Here to Drink

After a bad experience with a zingless no hops IPA of the English variety, I thought I would get right back on that horse so to speak, but this time with a highflying hefty IBU Quebec brassy IPA. Viva la difference! I am assuming kick ass even before trying this brew...

Camp Fire Follies

Camp Fire Follies

I’m not much for roughing it now, but back in the day we did some camp ground quaffing, resulting in a few cross-border escapades. Happy hour in A-Bay *when the Canadian dollar was still paper and worth as much as it’s US counterpart. Can crushing, bar hopping and...
