The Stones had a gem of a Tuesday while the Moody Blues enjoyed the afternoon. Lynrd Skynrd woke up Wednesday morning and Tuesday was gone. Just like the Boomtown Rats, I don’t like Mondays, so I was drinking this Tuesday on a Sunday hoping to skip a day. But here I...
When you are out fishing a missed call* isn’t really missed, now is it. But I am missin’ my fishin’. Back to reality and my last Stockyards IPA was tasty, so why not make it a double. Reminds me of that old Doublemint gum commercial from the 60’s “Double your...
Just before the onset of Dry February* I decided I needed to sample my final beer from Whiprsnapr Brewing. This one is called Black Sunshine, a bourbon oak black lager . A lot of good words in that beer heading. The folks at Whiprsnapr are quite creative - both their...
You don’t hear the expression “up for a challenging read” much these days, but if you ever are David Foster Wallace delivers the goods. “The Pale King” is a light read as far as his novels go at 540 pages compared to “Infinite Jest” which weighs in at 1079. These...
Money doesn’t grow on trees but I am going to need an orchard of change, hopefully toonies, to pay for this expensive brew. The question at hand, is one beer worth all this change? We shall see. Those of you without a geography degree (just like myself) may be saying...

My evening dalliance was A Stout With Coffee. I usually don’t have a coffee after 5PM but I figured it must be 5 o’clock somewhere. This tasting started out a tad unbalanced*, with a slight pop and spill in my office, the coffee percolating perhaps? The office...
When I first saw this beer I tried to determine what brewery it came from. You may have noticed that breweries tend to have a theme or a brand to their can artwork. The crazy meanderings of the Flying Monkeys or the New Ontario bear for example. But when I saw Indie...
Just filled up at 23¢ a litre, man gas prices sure shot up after that oil crisis.* Bought a six pack yesterday and that set me back $2.80, ouch. Revin’ up the terrible two-tone turbo Torino, slammin’ some Seger in the cassette deck and shootin’ the tube. Rockin’ Main...
A night out on the town with my much better half and a shout out to Richard and Sarah who joined us from across the pond. They are braving snow, ice and freezing temperatures to enjoy all the great white North has to offer this time of year, that being snow, ice and...
