Fast Eddy’s. A river raft run, perhaps? Or a souped-up Edsel. I’d like to think it was Newman’s Oscar nominated role in The Hustler. * Fast Eddie: So why go to college? Sarah: Got nothing else to do on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Fast Eddie: What do you do on the other...
Pesto pasta, green beans and salad, kiwis for dessert and a bright green adult beverage. Contrary to Kermit’s constant lament, it is easy being green, especially on St. Patrick’s Day. Although it would have been an obvious, perhaps even a cliché, review of a...
Just to be clear, you don’t have to steer clear of this beer if you’re lactose intolerant. No dairy products were used in the making of this or any other cream ale.* However, many ingredients that those of the bovine persuasion enjoy in their daily diet were. Barley,...
Calabogie is inviting us to join them for some winter solstice suds, but that boat left the dock about 3 months ago.* Better late than never is what most people who are late say which is little to no solace for a missed solstice. Better never late is what the people...

When I was 5 I was at a family picnic with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in hand and on face and happened upon a beehive. The old man was stoic about the whole situation “Looks like he’s not allergic to bee stings, good to know”. My Mother and Grandmother debated...
The fine folks at Lost Craft may still be searching for that missing boat of theirs, but that doesn’t seem to distract them from brewing some tasty brews. Their Caramilk Stout was a Christmas Eve eve super suds sampling recommended by none other than Bud, the Elf on...
A double Dutch? Skip that. This isn’t a brew from those nether lands, but from Hamlet’s old stomping grounds. Let’s hope this one is a great Dane and not a princely tragedy. Time to do a Faxe check and see if we’ve reviewed any other Danish brews. The brewer’s name,...
When I first heard the term Freudian Slip it didn’t surprise me at all that old Sigmund was a cross dresser. * I guess it was a big deal back then but nothing to get your panties in a twist over these days. I imagine in private he wouldn’t skirt the situation but...
