JT asked me “what the hell is a White IPA?”. Fair question. I’ve sampled a few in my day, but just like you, I had to look it up. It seems that a white IPA is a mix and match of wheat beer with IPA, each in some shape or form. We have sampled a few whites to date....
Out on the lake, casting my line into a late summer sunset that had me reeling. But the fish were on to me. A couple of bites but the hook never took so the net was never wet. No fat bass-tards tonight. So, it was time to dock the boat and head to the beer fridge for...
Hockley night in Canada …. in August. And in more hockey news Auston Matthews scores a $13.25 Million USD a year contract, the highest paid player in the league. Ka-ching! Of course that ka-ching will get the big ding from the taxman or taxwoman or the other various...
I’ve got more hazy years under my hat than I would care to admit, but twenty hazy years sounds like a fairly accurate description of my formal education. Not so, in this case it’s a hazy day IPA. I took a bike ride of the V-twin variety down to the church for a vigil...

I never had any imaginary friends growing up, I guess I was a bit of a loner. But our friends at Flying Monkeys have a whole island full. Imagine that! It reminded me of Tom Hanks and his four year-long one-sided conversation with his old buddy “Wilson”. Poor old...
After a long drive nothing is better than a chilly cold brewski. Before a long drive…not recommended. During a long drive, illegal and also not recommended. Transporting donkeys* from downtown Montreal to uptown K-town, bending that speed limit to the breaking point....
Downtown Montréal, time for a backstreet brasserie bière and repas report. C’est la vie. At 3 Brasseurs to partake in a belle province patio pint. Very quick service, I think it’s the first time I had dinner served before my drink. Much later an IPA comes. That wasn’t...
Hey Woodhouse, what’s with the pink can? It stands out on the shelf that’s for sure, but is it a standout brew? I seem to recall JT reviewed a pink canned wheat a ways back that didn’t stand the test of taste at the time. But this is a pale ale, and Nordic no less....
