Editor’s Note: It appears that our craft connoisseur RA is on scoop and poop detail in the back yard, and once he gets his shit together, his reward is a pint. Dog shit done. Beer me. Smells like beer but will I enjoy it?* Now I have to find my magnifying glasses to...
Editor’s Note: A happy hour review, by our intrepid craftmeister RA. That means you get two for one. Two reviews in one that is. A twofer. You get the idea. Review 1: White Tulip. RA: Smells skanky, tastes worse. I’m gonna have to pour it out and try something...
At Clear Lake Brewery answering the dinner bell and you may be surprised to learn that I didn’t have a beer with dinner. I did however have a beer for dessert. After a hearty healthy helping of crispy chicken sandwich I partook in a pint of lactose laden draft dessert...

I heard Imperial City and I thought about the Wizard of Oz. Or maybe this is some legendary city or a Shah’s castle like Indiana Jones was digging up for the ark in China or Asia, with buddhas and ninjas and such.* So I dug up some souvenirs from a trip to pre-spy...
Many years ago Daryl Sittler was at one of our functions and gave a talk about his historic 10 point night which included 6 goals and 4 assists. In that 1976 Leafs home game against Boston*, Sittler's record, which still stands today, broke Rocket Richard’s previous...
