The movie lions that came to mind for me didn’t really elicit the fear response. The Cowardly Lion, “I'll fight you with one paw tied behind my back.” Elsa, “as free as the wind blows, as free as the grass grows,..” or Simba “hakuna matata”. * The there is the movie...
5 o’clock is a recent memory, time to tie one on. As in tie on the feedbag of course. Perhaps a pint as well. You know it. A tisket, a tasket,* a brisket in a basket. I brace myself for a Bracebridge Lake of Bays Barrelhouse beef brisket in a basket on a bun. Beefy...
This brew is a tribute to all the industrial and industrious hard-working trades people buildin’ boats, weldin’ hulls, patching ports and stitching starboards, bracing bows and setting sterns. Maintaining masts and sewing sails, riveting rivets, priming pumps and...
And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do, Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue, And I knew right then I'd be takin' a whirl, Round the Salthill Prom with a Galway girl.* Ah yes, old Steve Earle was quite taken with a Galway girl. I was 8 or 9 years old...
The Cecil Shamus Fitzgerald of legend certainly looks like a cranky old man, doesn’t he? Could be from a bad bear wrestling experience, maybe he “tapped” out on a bear hug? Or perhaps a bumpy camel ride. They say a two humper is better than a one humper, maybe they...
The ice is off the lake but it’s still on the rink. Playoff time baby. Put up or shut up. Go hard or go home. Goals or golf. Show up and grow up. Put on your big boy athletic supporter. I was really hoping I would see the Leafs win the cup again, this time in colour....
You know what two loons are called? A pair of loons of course. Do you know what a flock of loons are called? An asylum of loons! For real. How funny is that (redundant question). Love the brewery name. Love the loon logo. Love their slogan “Beer’s Calling” which could...
Reading the fine print is not my forte. So when I saw the name on this brew I thought about Grissom and his CSI UV light** tracking blood spatter around a crime scene, and I thought of Bud Light***. So I had in my mind a light (although hopefully not as mild) lager...
This is a Boar of the Month Club selection from our friends at Four Rivers. The can shows a boar’s head being ceremoniously served up on a platter for the famished few who aren’t turn off by a snout full of snout. Apparently this ancient English tradition* is making a...
Dark times call for dark beers, as the saying goes.* And with the sun setting at 8PM these days it must be dark beer time. I think the spring and fall solstice is when the sun sets at the same time as Hockey Night in Canada starts, but I am not sure, I was never much...
