The Devil Made Them Brew It

The Devil Made Them Brew It

6 different hops with 6 different malts and 6% ABV = 666, the number of the beast as per the good book. According to GLB “The devil made me brew it.” Great play on Flip Wilson’s catch phrase from the 70’s, the devil made me do it. I can’t remember if I saw him on...

North Shore Winter Drive

North Shore Winter Drive

The North shore of Lake Superior is a beautiful drive three seasons of the year, but it can be something else in the winter months. It gets it’s fair share of white outs that’s for sure. This is the white out that is meant for after the drive. A golden hazy pour with...

Up the Crick

Up the Crick

A little bit fruity for my tastes and surprisingly bland for a strong beer. Strong beginning but weak finish. It is the week finish (weekend) so I can drink more. R.A.

Trailing Off

Trailing Off

Just finished the Bruce Trail, now I am lost on a Back Trail. Lots of action on the pour, as in a feisty foam fest. It seems a bit carbonated. Nice fresh light spicy aroma. What resulted from the pour was a whip cream head, it was actually convex it was so foamy. As I...

On Ice

Sitting outside in the freezing cold quaffing stubby brewksies before the high school dances back in the day, when climate change hadn’t turned our winters into the northern tropics, was our first experience with ice beers. Little did we know that the very condition...

Expect the Unexpected

Expect the Unexpected

Foxy, shifty, wily, crafty and now 30% sneakier! Sneaky weasel sounds a bit redundant doesn’t it? I mean weasels in general are known for being sneaky. Maybe this should be called Sneakier Weasel which would align well the claim of an additional 30% of sneakiness in...

Glad Tom

Just like the fly on the toilet seat, he’s getting pissed off. What is Tom so mad about anyway? Or is he crazy mad as opposed to angry mad? Hiking through the Rockies with a keg of beer on his back and a map and a fish in his hat, he could be either or both. A...

Eurobrew

Liquid black forest cake like taste. Somewhat watery and flat, A slightly bitter finish but not distasteful. If it came only in a six-pack I wouldn’t buy it. Tonight after this beer it is time to switch to red wine.

Lifeboats Designed for Ten?

Lifeboats Designed for Ten?

The Titanic and the Edmund Fitzgerald. Two nautical disasters for the passengers and the crew, but James Cameron and Gordon Lightfoot did OK by them. Then there was the HSS Minnow, a ship wreck where everyone survived but by the end of the third season we all wished...

Faxe Check

Joe Friday and George Thorogood are at the bar. George says, “Hey Joe, how about one bourbon, one scotch and one beer?” Joe Friday just shakes his head at his drinking buddy and looks to the lady behind the bar and says “Just the Faxe, Ma’am.”* Poured this big brown...
