Our last experience with Paulaner was an alcohol-free brew and let’s put it this way, the rating wasn’t much higher than the ABV. * So this is their opportunity for COMDB redemption. We figured the German brewer has been at it since 1634 so by now I think they should...
My favourite sister-in-law has me singing “We Are Family”. * You know the song, “We are family, my sister-in-law got beer for me.” If you have a sister-in-law that brought you beer you can sing along with me. Perhaps more explanation is needed. Consider this texting...
Another edition of Glorious and Free, * this one from where it all started, Dominion City. This brouhaha of a brew that has a bucktooth boxing beaver donning the gloves is a cross Canada crafters collaboration celebrating our still and forever glorious and free...
Lights, Camera, Action, it’s The Crownsmen Show, brought to you by Cranky Old Men Drinking Beer. I joined Jerrod and Gaudy, but for this show we were missing Rory! Well, missing is probably too strong a word, let’s just say Rory wasn’t there. Although Rory’s financial...

Facebook says you can’t have more than 5000 friends.* Dunbar says your brain can handle around 150 of them. But Dunbar defined a friend as someone “you would not feel embarrassed about joining uninvited for a drink if you happened to bump into them in a bar.” As far...
Editor’s Comment : Our Ottawa based connoisseur du crafts, JF, weighs in on this friendly Belgian beauty. Being a bit of old time stubby lover (we are talking about beer here), this one caught my eye. I’ve had a few Belgians in my day, but for sure this was my first...
If I was rooting around in the attic and found some recipes from my great-great-grandfather, they would probably be for moose sausage or venison pie. But not John Sleeman. No, he finds all the Sleeman brewmaster recipes from the 1800’s, coincidentally just 50 years...
How about those Blue Jays, first in the major league standings. Not only are they on the ball this year, they’re all over it. Bam Bam Barger’s big bat and Bo Bichette’s daily double. Every now and then a Springer dinger, and then there’s Vlad, who’s not doing half...
