Mining 4 a Brasseurs Blonde

Mining 4 a Brasseurs Blonde

Another Mining 4 Beer event, this one at 3 Brasseurs in Montreal. The joint was hopping, the taps were tapping, the beer was flowing so I was going.  After all, who can say no to an invite from the M4B Brewmeister extraordinaire, Cam the man.  The AC was off, the heat...

Conventioning in Montreal once again, and our last wigged up and wigged out Crownsmen Cranky collab wrap and tap show ended up on the cutting room floor. An executive decision was made to film take 2 sans RB. To be fair to Rory, he was not there to defend himself,...

In Montréal, parle vous-ing at the big mining conference and our main Crownsman and host with the most, Jerrod, was MIA. Rumour had it he was negotiating major partnership deals on the trade show floor, apparently at a booth two rows over that was serving free beer....

One Big Pig MIA

Ok, where’s the pig? There seems to be some kind of name game being played here by the marketing mavens. Is it Blue Mountain Light Lager by Thornbury Brewing or is it Light Lager by Blue Mountain Brewing out of Thornbury? Coincidentally both breweries are located at...

Twin Pines Twice, Nice

My old buddy DT (his initials not his condition) got his BMW out (his motorcycle not his preppy mid life crisis) and sent a note saying it was spring and time for some IPAs. Of course we all know that any time is a good time for a good IPA and a good IPA is always...

Horizon Gazing

 Calabogie Brewing is encouraging us to “discover new horizons” with this beer, which seems apropos since we have reviewed another Horizon brew previously. Having a different Horizon would certainly expand my horizons, double them actually. Then again, isn’t there...

Hold the Anchovies, Please

Hold the Anchovies, Please

Another pint of pizza pilsner. Of course, just like you, my first assumption was that this is an Italian Pilsner. Once again as is often the case I find my first assumption to be incorrect. I think we are in the age of misinformation and the land of mass assumption....

We Finally Found a Good Lannister

We Finally Found a Good Lannister

What do you call a gastro brewer that is super busy but seats you in 5 minutes with no reservation (at a table, not the bar), provides great service, has an innovative and tasty menu, and a great list of brewed on the premises taps too? A hidden gem, perhaps. Your go...

West Coasting Again

West Coasting Again

Those river rafter crafters from Elora have hopped up their wagon train and headed West to do some coast toasting to the original craft IPAs.* For those of you picturing scantily clad sunbathers and surfer dudes and dudettes catching waves and eyes, with a Beach Boys...
