When it comes to coffee, I like mine hotter than the hobs of hell, blistered lips be damned. Unless of course it is a coffee stout, then chill and swill is the plan. This isn’t a coffee stout though. It is a coffee dark mild, that being a dark English ale. Not just a...
Cool night, a fireside ABC brew and a good book with lots more letters in it. I think it is the unauthorized biography of our Editor.* I got to wondering if anyone reads anymore or any less for that matter. Statistics show that readers read the same but non-readers...
How about a COM International Armchair brew tour to exotic Europe, with Poland’s favorite brew and snackin’ on my 4 cheese Italian Cheez-Its. A beer and a snack, my $5 a day tour of the old country. Pouring that big ol’ bottle of pale lager* into my big ol’ pale...
Took the grandkids out for dinner the other day to a high-end classy restaurant, and lo and behold it was “kid’s eat free day” at Wacky Wings. Nice surprise. How about a non-descript little can of brown that ends up being a super suds brew extrodinaire. That’s a nice...
The big ol’ tuna on the can, is fish face first in the sand, and got me wishin’, about goin’ fishin’. It isn’t Charlie the beer can tuna.* And it isn’t Charlie Horse, or a Charlie Brown quote, or a Chocolate Factory Charlie visit either, although we have had all those...
Editor’s Comment: An RA Sunday night special sip and report review. A MacKinnon farm produce pint is up for a pour and score. RA quaffing a light fruit beer, say it isn’t so! I think I just felt the earth shift on it’s axis a bit. Nothing will ever be the same again....
Congratulations to Gateway City on their new digs. A larger purview to brew, additional spaces for cases, and lots of runway for landing flights. Here’s hoping the pinball machines survived the move intact with tilts kept to a minimum. And what better way to toast the...
Regina is not normally high on most folks lists of places to visit. I guess that's why the city came up with their surprising tourism campaign with the tag line "Show us your Regina." * You don't need a Cranky Old Man around to read the double meaning on that one. My...
You would think opening a brewery in a building right beside a Catholic high school and an Elementary school might be of some concern for parents. A protest, some PTA lobbying, political pressure, a field day for the press, fueled by a public outcry, perhaps? Nope,...
No Treasure Island theme here, the pirate on the can, and The Haze of the Dead are part of the Deadhead Series of brews. A deadhead may mean a few things,* but in this case Desthil is referring to fervent, fixated and fanatic fans of the 60’s group The Grateful...
