To be honest I have known a lot of Brits over the years and never met one who I would call pompous. And what about those royals? Well I never met one but the wife gets so many of those magazines about them she should be on a first name basis by now. I did meet a Lord...
They call it “Best of the British”. I remember hearing the term “Best of the British” before, which I thought meant good luck. I checked it out, it means and I quote “ to wish someone luck, especially when you do not think they have much chance of success or...
Guinness, the iconic Irish beer, brewed in …..Baltimore? Baltimore? The famous US beer brewing city of Baltimore (note the sarcasm). What the hell is Baltimore doing brewing a Guinness. Baltimore is known for …..I don’t even know what Baltimore is known for, but I...
I had saved this Gretzky beer for a Saturday night hockey game but that is not how it turned out. What is the definition of apathy? A Leafs fan watching an Ottawa Montreal game. So after one period of that sad performance it was on to March Maaaaaadness in April. The...

Man has been searching for the fountain of youth for eons, and here is a Elora Brewing quietly sitting on the secret. It's right there on the back of the can - if you drink this fresh, you won't age! Well, I tried it, and my wife informs me that I'm going to need a...
On the way to dinner with the family and the grandkids are bickering back and forth. They were driving me to drink and it wasn't a long drive*. We get to the restaurant and I ask the waiter what's local on draft and he says Wiseacre**, which immediately reminds of the...
On the can they suggest sharing one. This beer is so bland* I don't want to share it, I want to give it away. To be fair, if it was a hot summer day and I bought a six pack I would drink one and share the rest with unwanted guests**. R.A.
