From the rocky Puffin populated East coast of Newfoundland to the verdant green rain-soaked West coast, it was quite a hike but we are back in Vancouver again. I’m usually shoe gazing but tonight I’m star gazing. Usually when you ask for the moon and the stars, you...
According to the fine folks at Flying Monkeys Meep Morp is, and I quote “the peaceful greeting of the hop-hybroids sharing their alpha-advanced cryo-charged civilization with our water-rich planet”. A High-Density Hop-Charged IPA they tell us. Sounds like there was a...
Dorthy felt there was no place like it, Pliny the Elder thought it is where the heart is, and Leone Redbone will tell you it’s where you hang your hat.* We’re talking about home of course. As for the shape of home, it’s a pentagon.** Any baseball fan will tell you...
The cure for Sober October? Just replace the “c” with a “k” and start festing. It’s Oktoberfest of course and a Festbier from Wellington no less. With Muskoka Oktoberfest just a few short days away I thought a bit of a warmup with a cold one was a good way to cool off...
Just like the Grinch, this acronym had me puzzling till my puzzler was sore. Or is it an acronym at all? C.R.E.A.M. Craft Reaches Excellence in Achieving Maltiness. Catch the Riptide Eventually After Midnight. Cream Recipe Entices All Men. All of these are more of a...

From downtown Toronto to the shipyards of Vancouver, I’m on the East to West armchair express. Sampling this West Coast brew called East of the Sun from North Point breweries and with no sense of direction this review is going South pretty quick. But the name of this...
Water on the water, beer on the pier. Pier pressure or just good advice? * Time to lock and roll with Port Dalhousie’s Lock Street and fill it up to the brim to win with Brimstone brewery. But a beer named Pier Pressure could be a Pilsner from Coast, or a Kolsch from...
I remember meeting Daryl Sittler in the mid-90’s. His business card simply said “Daryl Sittler; Businessman”. We had just taken our company public and he was a board member. When we met he said “So you’re the cashflow part of the business” because my part of the...
Our Editor throws more shade than a streetlamp at midnight.* Me, I’m a live and let live kinda guy, a mellow fellow. The old duck once told me that if I didn’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all. That philosophy is sometimes a bit of a challenge when...
