Time for a coast to coast toast. Just finished a Vancouver tour and what could be further from Stanley Park than St. John’s? * Our Newfoundland tour begins with a St.John’s stalwart, an 1892, and what is so significant about that year is the burning question. The...
I’m a patron of Matron, a connoisseurer of the brewer. A dark with class, is in my glass, signed and sealed from Bloomfield. Yes, from the blooming and booming metropolis of Bloomfield, Prince Edward County. Not to be confused with Bloomfield, Prince Edward Island,...
Another giant Asian brewery yields one chilly Tsingtao, direct from China to my beer fridge. I’ve been to China a few times, walked the Great Wall, bought some souvenirs at the little shop at the gate, I think it was called Wall Mart. The scroll in the pic is a gift I...
Hey Hudson, why have just one, when you can have a Lake of Bays. That’s right, I’m missing my Muskoka so pouring a Lake of Bays Morning Haze. My usual antidote for a morning haze is a strong cup of joe. Of course, by the time I have finished one cup, Farmer Steve is...

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,...
Doctor: It appears you have Cammaphobia. * Patient: Please don’t use that letter. Doctor. And it is clearly quite an acute case. Patient: Please stop. Doctor: Aren’t you curious about a cure? Patient: Stop please. Doctor: Drink one Blak Katt stout every day. Patient:...
At the Burrard Street Ballyhoo for a brew or two, and some dinner too. When in Rome, visit the coliseum, when in Vancouver, carry an umbrella and drink local. Time for a Phillips and we're not talking milk of magnesia, but an Implosion of the Pilsner ilk. Some...
