My first mobile phone (not including the Motorola bag phone we moved from truck to truck) was a BlackBerry. 2002 cutting edge Canadian technology. I loved all my BlackBerrys. There was Pearl, a real beauty. Then Curve, loved those curves. Then Bold, marketing slogan:...
Although some have called me a spin doctor on occasion I wouldn’t profess to being a ping pong pro. Now when it comes to shooting pool, I have run the table once or twice in my day, but I always found myself behind the 8 ball when it came to playing for money. Prince...
Some breweries put a lot of effort into their label design. Wild colours, inspiring images and snappy phrases are everywhere when you check out the craft beer aisle at your local retailer. So there is something refreshing about this brew titled "Crappy Beer" with a...
This review just confirms that I have already failed one of my new year’s resolutions. Note to self: focus on challenging but achievable goals, avoid those aspirational BHAGs.* Of course, the name “Kapow!” and the associated graphics are from Batman comics. As a kid I...
I think I know what a stone fruit * is but what the hell is a kickflip?** Peach tends to be my stone fruit of choice, as for kickflips, this NEIPA from Clear Lake is my kickflip of choice, seeing as I am not sure what one is so this is the only one I am familiar with....

After a triple chocolate 10% extreme extravaganza blast off it was time to bring me back to something closer to surface as in down to earth. So I thought it would be a good idea to get back to basics and explore a nice pilsner of the Italian persuasion. Enter Marco...
A beer of the night selection by Bud, the Elf on the beer fridge shelf, and no wonder, it’s triple chocolate. Not just triple chocolate, it’s 3 Triple Chocolate. Not sure if Farmer Steve is a chocolate lover but at 10% ABV it’s two beers in one, so he may appreciate...
Sampling a baseball inspired brew in December seems to be an idea right out of left field.* Left Field Brewery that is and their short and sweet* mocha marshmallow stout offering. I pulled out the old ball glove for this review’s “head” shot. Then I got thinking about...
Looks like The Crusher* is all fired up and ready to dominate the ring, doing sweaty holds and flips while decked out in his stretchy pants, in a choreographed ballet of blood. Clifford’s Crusher looks more like a thirst crusher than a bone crusher. Maybe a summer...
