A COMDB site visit to Decew Falls (the brewery not the nature walk), and a sight for thirsty eyes it was. In addition to their standard fare, there was a Draft Pick Porter on tap, which turned out to be my first round draft pick. Some people think about what adult...
According to Trip Advisor, if you’re visiting Radeberg Germany, near the border to Poland and Czechia, the most popular thing to do there is eat and drink.* And the number one place to do that is Radeberger Brauerei Ausschank.** Sounds like JT’s recent trip to Hungary...
Cranberries and wild rose hips? From the friendly folks at Frontibus way out in the Far East, of Québec that is, the Gaspesié. Which just happens to be where the cranberry capital of Canada is located.* I love me some fresh cranberry sauce with a turkey dinner and...
My first thought was tortured tastebuds from sampling not just as sipper but a paint stripper, resulting in a broken down palate.* Or maybe a paint splattered in pieces palette on the floor of a frustrated artist’s studio? But finally, not without some hesitation and...

This poem is not a weighty tome, just a simple tome to foam, Something in Niagara’s amiss, the Maid of the Mist is missing her mist. Tell the poor lass what’s come to pass is it’s in my glass en masse. But not to worry we’re in no hurry, We won’t be late, there’s a...
It’s US thanksgiving, so let’s talk turkey. It’s football day in America and I’m game. And of course, Black Friday. So named because that is the day your bank account goes from black to red, signifying that Christmas is just around the corner. Sounds like it’s stout...
