Winner winner, chicken dinner. This Oktoberfest from Collingwood special is my favourite beer of the week! On the can it says strong beer at 5.8% but it isn’t benching 250 if you know what I mean, it goes down smooth. Back in the day a stubby Brador at 6.2% was the...
BBQ fired up. Steaks on the grill. Tunes on the deck. Sun shining and a frosty glass with an adult beverage at hand. Why am I smiling? Well, why wouldn’t I be? But perhaps a larger smile than usual because I have just lucked out. I bought this Ace Hill Pilsner to try...
In the late 70’s they started putting movies on tape. By 1980 you could rent a machine and a bunch of movies for the weekend from the “video” store. Why would anyone rent a VCR? Because when they first came out they were $1,500 bucks a piece at a time when a six pack...
Keith’s claims to be the pride of Nova Scotia. I would say they are not alone and may have to line up behind the Bluenose, those big old lobsters, Sidney Crosby, Anne Murray, Sarah MacLachlan, and Alistair MacLeod.* Even Sir Alexander Graham Bell was a part time Nova...
The other day I was out pulling weeds, yanking up those f*7#@ dandelions. You know what I hate more than yard work? Nothing. I hate yard work with a passion. But it makes for big points with the wife and since I have a severe points deficit*, I do some lawn work....
Lincoln Lager? Not sure where the name came from* so I thought I would check as to whether Abraham Lincoln ever drank beer. According to an absolutely dependable and unimpeachable information source (Google) “Lincoln did for a time drink lager beer on the advice of a...
I go to my freezer to pull out a chilled glass, but the only one there is a pilsner freeze glass which are great when you need a super cold, cold refreshing brew. But my old buddy Rick says that sometimes these beers, particularly porters and stouts, evolve a bit as...
No, this isn’t a new Netflix “Original” movie title or a Marvel franchise. By the way, I think Netflix Original is an oxymoron. Isn’t every one of those movies just a remake of an older movie with less expensive actors? I guess if you are under 40 you probably don’t...
Yes, this is a German beer. They claim to have been brewing beer since 1417 (the year not the time) and perhaps this Munich Lager was brewed in some shape or form even before that “by the monks” which is a rough translation of what the name Munich was derived from. ...
Two German beers in one week. What is this, Octoberfest in May? A German pilsner named German Pilsner. I wonder who won the “name the beer” contest. So I pour this German pilsner (named German Pilsner) and it foams up like it’s a fire extinguisher. A heady brew for...
