By the graphics on the can this seems to be a golf themed brew but I wasn’t familiar with the concept of “two putt” so I had to look it up. It seems that some golfers, I assume professionals, once they get their golf ball on the green, only take two putts to get it in...
In the Niagara region the farming is fruit trees and vines. We aren’t talking about hauling up carrots and toting taters. More like picking peaches and grapes and then sampling a Pinot Noir or a Cabernet Franc after a day in the field. And citrus is so FLA, not at...
Shillow certainly keeps us on our toes. Could this be another case of mistaken identity? * The first clue that something was askew was a “Strong Beer” designation for a 5% ABV. ** A label typo, no biggie, explainable. The first physical evidence we see is the pour....
De Nada, sounds like Spanish to me. A call out to the COMDB translation department was in order. They quickly responded with “Your welcome” which seemed premature to me since they hadn’t provided me with a translation therefore, I hadn’t even said thank you yet. When...

In doing these beer reviews I have been to Helles and bock. Amster-damn helles, big rock bock helles. By day visiting the sun gods and at night by the gaslight, and all points in between. I think it was Winston Churchill who said “If you find yourself drinking a...
Godspeed Brewery refers to their beers as “intentionally eclectic” and they ain't lyin'. In fact, I think that may be a bit of an understatement, like saying the Beatles were popular. After sampling their barley wine imperial coffee stout, now I am into a saison. But...
Sergeant: I didn’t see you at our camouflage exercise this morning Private. Private: Thank you sir. I went duck hunting once, many years ago, my first and last hunting experience. It was with my father and grandfather. We got geared up early on a cold wet fall...
