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...

Working Title: Any Time is a Good Time for a Zod Time

I’m a Flying Monkeys fan. No not those mangy minions of the Wicked Witch of the West that swooped down to abscond Dorothy and Toto. I’m talking about the Platos of the pints, the Aristoles of the ales, the Socrates of the suds, the Kants of the can. Those heavy...

Codswallop Old Men Drinking Beer

Codswallop Old Men Drinking Beer

Codswallop? What kind of a name is that for a beer, sounds like nonsense to me.* I remember going fishing with the old man in the cedar strip boat. After we found our spot the mercury outboard got pulled up and the oars got put into the water. For the uninitiated, one...

A Hazy Review

A Hazy Review

Those refined fools are at it again. That’s right, another thirsty Thursday of prime time video tasting on the Crownsmen Show. I don’t recall what we talked about (some would say it's all a bit hazy) although I’m sure it was an incredibly interesting and important...

Gunsmoke, Maverick and a Handcrafted Lager

Gunsmoke, Maverick and a Handcrafted Lager

Way back in the day when I was a kid the only shows on TV that I remember were Saturday morning cartoons, Hockey Night in Canada, the Ed Sullivan Show (loved that Topo Gigio) and Gunsmoke. The old man loved Gunsmoke almost as much as he loved to smoke. Let’s put it...

This is Really Something

This is Really Something

Something in the Water is once again inviting us to drink curiously with Painted Lake, which they tell us is a tribute to the great Canadian artist Tom Thomson, the artistry, the tragedy and the mystery. * Canoe Lake in Algonquin Park was the subject of many of his...
