Rad* used to be what we hung our wet winter clothes over to get them dry. Now I guess rad means cool or super. Pig also has taken on a few slang meanings which I won’t go into here, but in this case it refers to Clark the Pig, the mascot of Thornbury Crafts and local...
Bob Seger is still runnin’ against the wind, while Bob Dylan is looking for the answer there and Elton John couldn’t hold a candle to it. Ian Tyson had to deal with four strong ones, but tonight I am only quaffing one. A Windswept Clavie that is, right from...
Lots to unravel here. I asked the COMDB translation department about the name “Omnipollo”*, assuming it was Swedish since the group originated there. They tell me that is not the case and in fact the name originates from the English word omnipotence and the Spanish...
Not the pallet cleansing green Carlsberg I am used to. This brew is a little malty, with maybe a hint of Mcintosh taffy. A good fall beer after pulling down a tree*. A little bitter with some caramel hints. On the can it has Rush 9 and the fans chanting to the Beatles...
Sidney Sheldon asks us if we are afraid of the dark? Robert Cray implores us not to be.* If you suffer from nyctophobia**, that would be fear of the dark, I can’t help you there. But if you are a nyctocervisiaphobia*** sufferer, that would be fear of dark beer, I have...

Mining week continues, note to self: don’t agree to do a luncheon keynote speech the day after hosting a beer tasting. I’m not Irish although my patron saint may well be St. Patrick. I am not as slim as I once was but I am slim as I will ever be, and through an...
I picture a grizzled old prospector, chipping away at the Canadian shield in the 1860’s and shouting out Eureka, then heading off to the local pub for an ale. This seemed like a fitting brew to kick off the local mining week. The Bancroft area has a storied history of...
After a fancy pants ice cream Neapolitan chocolate strawberry vanilla stout it was good to quaff a back to basics big bay barley sandwich. Georgian Bay that is, which from grade 5 geography we all learned is the backpack of the mighty Huron hiker, Lake Huron....
A visit to the nearest largest beer spa in the world meant a bite to eat at Clear Lake Brewery with an extra pale ale accompaniment. Great service and friendly staff as always. I was looking for something on tap I hadn’t tried before and sure enough I ordered a...
