Editor’s Note: Our “craftsman” RA does some ghostbusting on this one. This beer name seemed hauntingly familiar and it turns out it is not our first ghost ship. Black Sail was sighted on the horizon previously and hauled in a good review. The brewer Adnams Sothwold,...
As a fisherman, I totally get Captain Ahab’s obsession with Moby Dick, or Santiago’s dogged resolve in bringing in that giant marlin.* There is something in the water for sure and once the ice is out there will be two things in the water. My line and that lunker...
Crowd surfing. Diving into a sea of strangers at a rock concert and hoping they will not drop you or move out of the way as you make your stage dive. Who could ever have thought up and actually tried for the first time such a wild, fraught with risk, most likely to...
This is a New England high tide, but did you know that New Scotland actually has the highest tides in the world? Yes, Canada has the highest tides in the world at our very own Bay of Fundy, and as an added bonus you get two of them a day. Fact check that Mr. Editor.*...

In the year 1854 Oscar Wilde is born, the Republican party was formed, and the original Collingwood Brewery is established. This brew celebrates that brewery milestone as well as the 8th anniversary of the modern-day brewery. This is a different style of freestyle....
Our Blue Jay boys of summer are getting warmed up in good ol’ Dunedin FLA. now, and I am sure the Left Field team are excited for the season to start. A double play can get you out of a tough inning if you’re a pitcher or break your heart if you’re at the plate...
Having a fireside chat with a Square Nail Pale Ale. Crankin’ up the wattage at the cottage. Today square nails are what manicurists do. But way back in the day, when there were square nails and snail mail, I remember as a kid building the cabin down by the lake with...
