Johnny Depp used to love an Amber, in case you hadn’t Heard. But the verdict is in and Amber is no longer Johnny’s favourite.* As for myself, I still love me an amber. Could be the subtle sweetness of caramel, or the smooth and steady malt. But I’ve come to realize...
So here I am in Vancouver, the Northwest for those South East of the city, and sipping suds. Brew number six in our Vancouver tour de force. And just like the Beatles, I was looking at a Hard Day’s Night.* But what better cure for a hard day than an open bar I always...
Chilling in Vancouver, and after a relaxing patio pint at the Ballyhoo, the wise and wonderful waitress says to me “Would you like to try something interesting”. I must admit my imagination ran wild for a second until I remembered I was old enough to be her father.* ...
I like mushrooms on pizza and pasta, and as a side with a nice well-done seared sizzled and scorched steak from the BBQ. I’m a big fan of Sawdust City too, great beers and as witnessed here, they aren’t afraid to experiment. When it comes to beer, well I’m a fun guy,...

The good news, there are still two Canadian teams on the trail for the cup. The bad news, they are playing each other. The good news, there will be one Canadian team make it to the third round. The bad news for Oilers fans, it will probably be Vancouver. Which is...
Contrary to popular belief, ACME is not a mail order weaponry supply house for coyotes, wily or otherwise.* However, one popular belief that is in fact correct is that I love me an amber. So I’m out with the missus for eye-talian and I’m thinking Peroni or Moretti...
I’ve seen a few salt docks in my days. Isles de la Madeliene for one. Then there was Windsor Salt and of course Goderich. But the Parry Sound salt docks?* What’s that all about? The things you learn while drinking beer. Then I got thinking about the expression “salt...
