For those of you who think the South Channel is a TV station that features Nascar, Jeff Foxworthy, and Trisha Yearwood’s cooking show, you stand corrected. This South Channel refers to a body of water in Georgian Bay near Parry Sound, not coincidentally home to...
It was a very humid summer day and the anticipation of the Lemon Wheat beer was incredibly high. Lemon and beer are a great combination for a hot summer’s day. When I was a young boy, I’d take my Saturday morning allowance and head to the local neighbourhood store to...
I am no marketing expert that’s for sure, but Farmer Steve knows a thing or two about marketing, I mean those rutabagas don’t sell themselves do they. I am going to have to ask him about what’s going on with this brew. At first I thought I was into another...
Someone asked me the other day if I had done the Collingwood brewery tour. A brewery tour of Collingwood, a ski village 20,000 strong? Just how many breweries could a small town like Collingwood have? Then I got to thinking about all the reviews we have done on The...

Looks like a cranky old man on the can, but is he mad enough to start the craft brewing revolution? With the word “lover” below him, although he doesn’t look too cuddly in this pic. In fact I would say he looks more than cranky, how about disagreeable, unpleasant,...
I picked up this saison farmhouse ale at the farmer’s market in Gravenhurst, which seems to make sense to me. The young lady from Katalyst was so nice to deal with, it was just a small reminder of how great craft brewery people are. As opposed to cranky old reviewers...
For some reason the first thing that came to mind when I thought of neon was the 70’s 80’s TV show Happy Days with the title of the show lit up at the start of each episode in neon lights, that lame theme song ironically unlike any of the rock and roll that those...
Batten down the hatch, there’s a nor’easter on the horizon. Forget the batten* whatever that is, it’s just down the hatch with this nor’easter. There certainly seems to be a sailing theme with Stonehooker’s “flagship” brew. Not being familiar with all these nautical...
