I was trying to add some culture to my grandkids lives and started reading the Robert Louis Stevenson classic “Treasure Island” to them. Although there were pirates, fighting, gruesome deaths and treasure, unfortunately there were no minions or farting animals in the...
I love the USA. The missus was born there, my son works there. I figure I have visited 27 states including Alaska and we love to holiday there (the USA, not Alaska). But, and you might have figured there was a “but” in the works, US TV hockey coverage sucks. I swear...
A new brewery (for me) is Radical Road Brewing based in Toronto. I had a chance to try one of their offerings - a tasty pale ale called Yuzu. It combines some flavour from the Yuzu fruit with a pale ale. It's a winning combination. We've got a decent Pale Ale with...
Flying Monkeys is encouraging us to tune in to this unique IPA. It wasn’t that long ago that I was suspicious and reluctant regarding IPAs, not a fan. But with their Juicy Ass IPA Flying Monkeys tuned me in and turned me on* to the genre. Since that time COMDB have...

Chips and dips and hockey night in Canada takes me back to grade schooldays, but instead of a cola I have in hand an adult beverage of my choice. Tonight, it happens to be a crisp pil to go with my crisp chips. If you have the means I would strongly suggest acquiring...
Our culture seems to love bad robots as much as good ones. The “Star Wars” robots were heroes. Governor Schwarzenegger was a bad robot in” Terminator” but comes back (he told us he would be back) as a good robot in “Terminator 2: Judgement Day”. In the original “Lost...
How about a fireside hazy IPA for expanding my horizons. Truth be told (as it always is in these reviews) I like to have a stout or porter by the fire because it makes for a nice picture. And I do like to have a hazy laissez faire* IPA on a dog day afternoon by the...
I heard about this hotel that hands you a beer with your room key, so of course I had to check in to it. And sure enough I was handed a nice chilly bottle of Dos Equis Especial Lager por favor and mucho gracias. Brewed since 1897 from the Montezuma Brewery*. They even...
