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...

A blustery day at the cottage, too windy to fish, and with the sideways rain the boathouse gazebo was a no go. After trying unsuccessfully to keep the grandkids from fighting with a day of card, dice and bored * games I was down to my last nerve and it was stretched...
After Bavaria left us in a Holland-daze we are back in Europe again for another kick at the beer can. This time in Germany although still not Bavaria. * It’s a Bitburger to go, hold the cheese please,** and no I don’t want the meal deal, just the beer thanks. And this...
Breaking news! Lake of Bays (Baysville) and Sawdust City (Gravenhurst) are merging, along with Merit Brewing (Hamilton) in what will become one of the top ten brewers in the province. OK, maybe not as exciting as Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce secretly getting married...
