Is Walker-ville a haven for seniors? Or like Mackinac Island, no cars allowed? * Whatever goes on in historic Walkerville, be assured they have a brewery that is built on Honesty (lager) and Purity (pilsner). Of course, we could skip the history of Walkerville and...
Apparently Antler is a fancy pants eating establishment. Sounds like you might drop a couple of bucks there. The bill might be dear, but worth a try if you’re game.They tell us it’s Michelin recognized! I’ve never been to a Michelin restaurant but back in the day I...
That fateful morning of June 22 1813 if Laura Secord had been wearing her Fitbit she would have scored 47,776 steps. * She walked from Queenston past Shipman’s Corners, on her way to Decew House to warn the British of the American invasion plans. The result, a British...
The emaciated gentlemen on the can Is, I assume, an 18th century porter in the flesh, or not as the case may be. Long gone, but certainly not forgotten by the master malters and millers at Muddy York who have brewed this porter as a tribute to those porters and dock...

“Leann Folláin” sounds like a Galway girl to me, with raven black hair and eyes of blue. But the Carlow crew tell us that it’s actually a Gaelic phrase for “wholesome stout”. * O’Hara’s Irish Nitro Stout was oh so good, I thought to myself would their Extra be too...
I first saw Blue Rodeo in 91, I think it was in Sudbury. Great band, huge in Canada. But like many great Canadian bands they never got the international recognition they deserved.* I think the music world could use a little more Canada too. Enter Jim Cuddy Red...
