I had a hankerin’ to drink curiously, and being a chartered member of the curious club, I know there’s no better beer to do that with than a Something in the Water curious craft. An uncommon K-town common per say? A Painted Lake Peach perhaps? A Tortuga the tortoise...
Willy Loman had a dream, but eventually he found out that the American dream wasn’t all it was cracked up to be. The Boss wondered “is a dream a lie if it don’t come true, or is it something worse”. * Quite an ominous introduction to Counterpart’s Dream Pale Ale. A...
I’m doing double duty tonight with some big numbers from Cowbell. At 8% and 55IBU this is every bit a double in more ways than one, as in two, which I guess is what you would expect from a double, isn’t it? Thank goodness it’s not a daily double, that would be double...
No reservation, no problem. A spur of the moment dinner out with the Missus and one of her favourites is The Grist. Some breweries have restaurants. The Grist is a restaurant that has a brewery, and a pretty good one from my past samplings. Quickly seated and settled...

Poor little Rousse. Bastard love child of sweet Amber the bar maid and that ne’er do well Irish drifter Red. She was left to her own devices to grow up in the harsh wilderness of the great white North, to suffer the long cold winters of the Boréale.** But grow up she...
Jimi’s baby stayed in a red house over yonder, but Jimi had a plan B, if his baby didn’t love him he knew her sister would. Taylor told us that loving him was red, burning red, a tragic tale of a love so perfect it was destined to fail. * But the Red Rocker in...
Les Brasseurs RJ hail from the cosmopolitan city and fashion capital of Canada, Montréal. So, it seems only fitting (catch the pun there)* that their master brewer, like a fashion designer, has created what they call their liquid masterpiece, Robe Noire. Je parle un...
