Honey Blonde Beats Brown Hands Down

Honey Blonde Beats Brown Hands Down

Sleeman is the only brewer that has the Department of Morality’s good housekeeping seal of approval. Yes, the missus comes out of her self proclaimed prohibition once-a-year for the Superbowl when she sips and savours a Sleeman Clear 2.0, full throttle out of the...

Priceless and Worth Every Penny

Priceless and Worth Every Penny

I bought this beer at the LCBO for $4.25.  Pricey yes, priceless, no. According to MasterCard priceless refers to things that money can’t buy, but for everything else there’s MasterCard.** Of course, the same can be said for Visa or Amex but it can’t be said the same...

This Zombie is a Real Smoothie

This Zombie is a Real Smoothie

According to Hollywood and the proliferation of walking dead movies and shows a zombie apocalypse could happen any day now. And if you don’t have Brad or Woody or Maisie * to save you, you’re human toast anyway, so you might as well enjoy the days we have left. And...

A Glass of Dutch Courage *

A Glass of Dutch Courage *

Way back in the day, pre-progenies, me and the Missus visited Amster-damn, I swear. You may be thinking of Holland, but you are actually thinking of The Netherlands. Known for their windmills and tulips, wooden shoes, the Cafes that didn’t serve coffee, and red-light...

Long Before the Dawn

Long Before the Dawn

When it comes to " before the dawn"  no problem. I sampled this dark, dry and mysterious porter about 10 hours before the dawn. If Lake of Bays is implying "just before the dawn" * that's a bit early for me to blow off some froth, the only thing I'm doing then is...

What’s Not To Love

What’s Not To Love

Back in the day I was quaffing quarts at the Ports. These days I’m a one and done pint partaker in the Port. As in Port Dalhousie. A lunchtime retreat to Lock Street to check out a new brew to review. In complete defiance or maybe just indifference to the calendar or...

A Local Libation

A Local Libation

Not our first Local Lager but this one is plural, not possessive, and from a different locale. As in Clear Lake, home of….. (drum roll please) THE LARGEST BEER SPA IN THE WORLD! The Muskoka Beer Spa has it all. Pools, glamping cabins, a dump bucket, saunas, fire pits,...

IV Times the Charm

IV Times the Charm

When I first saw an IV IPA I thought to myself that I’d rather drink it than take it intravenously. Ah, but it’s a Four Father’s IV so it appears some translation from Roman is required. They say three times the charm, although I wouldn’t count on that. Led Zeppelin’s...

The One Thing We Know is That There Is No Way of Knowing

According to Sawdust City this is the season of the Saison, and this beer is the Saison of the season. As in spring. They also feel there is no way of knowing what comes next so we might just as well seize the day and smell the roses, and expound other trite clichés...

A Regal Beagle

A Regal Beagle

How about that beer pic! Three beagle bitters with three beagles at Dr. B’s Beleaguered but not Bashful Beagle Boarding house. If you are thinking to yourself “enough with the alliterations” unfortunately that wasn’t the “b” all or end all. It appears that the three...
