We all know the world could use a little more Canada, so we have deemed this week Canadian classics week, with a Coast to Coast toast to the country with the most, Eh. Following the sun, and the best from East to West, you can't get more East than the Rock. It sure...
When it comes to sexy the Refined Fool gang and I may not see eye to eye. To me the furry fellow on the can seems about as sexy as ear wax. Of course, when it comes to how you view your brew the old adage rings true. Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder. * One...
In the Muskokas and I was feeling a tad thirsty, a bit peckish. I was looking for something tasty, so a home cooked meal by Chef Roy-Ar-Dee was not on the table, figuratively or literally. The choice was clear, as in Clear Lake Brewery. A regular COM Oktoberfest stop,...
It was 1977 and the only music you could buy back then was vinyl. I used to love “discovering’ a new artist and usually looked for a cool sounding name, hoping for some cool sounding tunes. I couldn’t resist a new album by a group called George Thorogood and the...

Do you know what the secret is to keeping a slim trim figure at an advanced age? Me either, I was hoping you’d know.* What I do know is that a bottle of beer is about 200 calories and a bottle of wine is about 650 calories. Just saying. This brew is an alliteration...
Stockyard Brewers make their home in the St. Jacobs market district. I remember visiting St Jacobs Farmer’s Market * a few times back in the day. Mennonite horses and buggies, rows upon rows of fresh fruit and veggies, and the farm fresh aroma of cows in the field...
A few years ago, one of my granddaughters was working on a project for school. The topic, Harriet Tubman. A February project, part of the Black History month curriculum at the school. I had heard about Harriet Tubman and the underground railroad before but didn’t...
