A bit of a puzzle, this one. The green and gold on the can label are pretty unusual in the beer line up. The picture has a couple of birds - oh wait, they're Toucans,* drinking two cans of beer. That could be a piece of the puzzle. This is an oatmeal stout from Prince...
“Cause baby, now we got bad blood, You know it used to be mad love.”* I avoided some obvious ill vampire jokes because I figured a blatant and shameless Taylor Swift reference would boost our website viewership. I mean look what it did for the NFL.** Now about this...
Square meals, good idea. Square deals, good idea. Square wheels, bad idea. Unless it's an IPA from the Town team. Another Town going down, this time their signature IPA, a big deal wheel. It’s a one and done night so no matter how this tasting turns out,* there...
This brew brought to mind Neil Young’s album Harvest,* then I recalled Harvest Crunch.** Then as my mind continued to wander and wonder, I thought about the video game Harvest Moon that my kids played incessantly back in the day. But never, ever did I think about...
We haven’t visited Ace Hill* in a while but I recall their pilsner knocked it out of the park. A Vienna Lager is about as close as you can get to Amber without incurring an harassment charge,** and those of you who know me, know I love me an amber. So I had high hopes...

Lake effect for me is a cold front of a frosty brew after a lazy line in the lake evening. But any meteorologist worth their weight in road salt will tell you lake effect is what buries Buffalo in three feet of snow at a time. Apparently GLB was inspired not by a...
Cream Ale takes me back to my youth. Not that I drank beer as a youngster - but I can distinctly remember watching Saturday morning cartoons on an American TV channel from Syracuse or possibly Rochester and seeing ads for Genesse Cream Ale. I'm not sure they got the...
Here I am watching hockey and drinking a Centre Cut #3 baseball brew from our friends out in Left Field. I appreciate the Canadian spelling of the word centre, even though my spell check doesn’t, must be American software, Eh. Speaking of American, I’m watching the...
We have found ourselves in the Burdocks a few times in the past year. There was that memorable Tuesday night on a Sunday. Then we got lost in Vermont. But finally we got all our Bur-ducks in a row and here we are, this time not with their Ducks but with their Deluxe....
