Another visit to Waterloo and their mysterious wild boar. I wonder if the CEO of Waterloo Brewing is Chairman of the Boar? What am I doing drinking a strong amber in the middle of summer? I enjoy a good amber and I liked Waterloo’s dark lager so when I saw their amber...
155 years on Oct 1st! They say Moosehead Breweries is Canada's oldest independent brewery, well done Moosehead! The world can always use a little more Canada. As old as Canada, and that's no easy portage. For some reason I always thought Moosehead was a Newfoundland...
Talk about easy drinking, I went to take a picture of a bottle of Corona Extra but by the time I snapped the pic the bottle was empty, with a lonely lime languishing in the dregs. I remember many years ago attending a patio business lunch on a bright summer day with...
Wow. What a great Pilsner. The can explains the name, Switchback, a path to the summit for the determined and the adventurous for those who enjoy the journey as much as the destination. My destination was sitting down and drinking this beer, I can’t recall what the...

I am not the most politically correct person in the world but I am trying.* One way I do that is to run some ideas past the missus. For example, not long ago I asked the wife “Have you seen what is going on with these perverted men taking advantage of women and being...
Not an IPA? Well sort of. It’s an ISA. Maybe a good description is an IPA light. Less than 5% so lite on ABV, lite on hops, lite on malt. Lite3. Maybe an entry level IPA for non IPA drinkers? I visited the brewery once and they explained their naming convention with...
Flying Monkeys, purveyors of fine IPAs. But can they brew a lager? When I saw this beer on the shelf I had to try it out. I have been impressed with the FM IPA offerings I have tried to date so I was eager to see how they handled a lager. On the can it poses a deep...
Husband: “Last night you said I was the best!” Wife: “No dear, last night I said you tried your best.” It cooled off in the evening and the lake calmed, a sliver moon illuminated the water and it seemed like the perfect evening to break out an amber. But not just any...
