Uncle Al’s Ale and the Cask at Hand

Uncle Al’s Ale and the Cask at Hand

There was Uncle Al, the Kiddie’s Pal, always suffering a bit from the 40-ounce flu. The McCartney’s Uncle Al was hands across the water. Weird Al might be a fun uncle, and of course a bedtime story from Uncle Alice may invoke nightmares.* Or our favourite history...

Campfire Smoke

Campfire Smoke

Passing through the Muskokas meant a chance to stop by the largest beer spa in the world and partake in some campfire smoke at Clear Lake. A tasty entrée with an adult beverage for an appetizer, that’s the ticket. A gander at the On Tap menu, said the excited goose....

Two Loons Redux

Two Loons Redux

I totally agree with your previous review of Two Loons IPA.* In my opinion this brew could compete successfully with the best of America's micro-brewery IPAs. Finding your site and your style of writing and sense of humor has delighted me.**

Irresponsibly Hopped for Pine Nuts

Irresponsibly Hopped for Pine Nuts

Sawdust City’s toast to Hill Valley’s favourite shopping mall, Twin Pines and that blast from the past Back to the Future.* Come to think of it, Sawdust also brews Lone Pine, which was the name of the Hill Valley shopping mall after Marty comes back to the future. I...

Black Hole Sun Shines

Black Hole Sun Shines

Black Hole Sun is the name of a dark depressing song by Soundgarden,* or a dark impressive beer by Counterpart. You can take your pick or drink one while listening to the song like I did. Then after 5 minutes and 18 seconds I tuned out Soundgarden, turned on the...

Bruno Who?

Bruno Who?

Maybe it’s only a coincidence, but I wonder if they know that there is a real Bruno Mars, and he looks a bit like the picture on the can. Mars is so chill and cool he’s out of this world. Maybe this chill craft from Mascot  is as chill, as smooth, as cool, as good as...

A Kickass Kame & Kettle Kölsch Plated Minivan

A Kickass Kame & Kettle Kölsch Plated Minivan

This Minivan is going like a bat out of hell. Tires squealin’ and peelin’, corners two wheelin’. Is it the terrorists’ Minivan from “Back to the Future” at the Twin Pines Mall, or was it the Lone Pine Mall?* Maybe it’s a brazen daylight armed bank robbery getaway van...

Rockin’ the Doublewide

Rockin’ the Doublewide

Way back in the day, almost half a century ago, when the missus and I first got hitched we did reside in a doublewide, up on blocks behind the Red Dog Inn. Newlyweds rockin’ the doublewide. Those were our salad days* and we thought we were living pretty high on the...

Island Favourite

Island Favourite

Picture a southern seaside Cyprus sunset with the waves lapping at the Island shore and a gentle Mediterranean breeze washing away the stresses of the day. A waiter in white, the model of service and efficiency, asks “Is there anything you would like, Sir” and when he...
