Still Oktoberfesting

Still Oktoberfesting

To be honest I am stretching out Oktoberfest* as long as possible because the next theme is Halloween and I hate the taste of pumpkin. The COMDB translation department are of the opposite view, having worked (and booked) substantial overtime, and they have also been...

Endless Summer

Endless Summer

It seems like an endless summer * and here I am on the BBQ deck with a Sawdust City Juicin’. It’s 4:30 somewhere. Love me a fall BBQ. Cooking for myself so no one is complaining about this charred beyond recognition burger, another sacrifice to the BBQ deities. I...

Prosit til You Close It

Prosit til You Close It

What better way to warm up for Muskoka Oktoberfest than a prosit with a Muskoka Brewery Festbier. I got reminiscing about Oktoberfest back in the day, cheers and beers, a host with the most chanting prost, prosit until you close it. In the immortal words of the Irish...

Avocado Anxiety is Real but in this Case Unwarranted

Avocado Anxiety is Real but in this Case Unwarranted

This IPA came in a Refined Fool IPA Fun Pack and sat in my beer fridge for a while due to my avocado anxieties and some other concerns. When it comes to beer I am not a fan of the fizzy fresca style, perhaps from a bad experience with another “champagne” style brew. I...

Who Kissed the Cow?

Who Kissed the Cow?

Full disclosure, I have never milked, rode, tipped or kissed a cow*. I don’t know if Farmer Steve ever got to first base with a cow, but there is a good chance he has kissed his Kubota. He loves that tractor. Over in Europe they have been dealing with a cow kissing...

Juicy IPA Wins the Day

Juicy IPA Wins the Day

We enjoy and have sampled a lot of Muskoka Brewery brews, so I was slightly surprised, a tad shocked, a bit put back, and in general unaware that we had not sampled the Mad Tom version of the Juicy IPA known as Hazed & Confused.* Time to set things right. Hockey...

Hello Darkness My Old Friend

Hello Darkness My Old Friend

“Hello darkness my old friend, I’ve come to talk with you again.” So said Rhymin’ Simon in his song Sounds of Silence* and it seemed like an apt introduction to the season of stouts. Leaves falling, hockey season started, cooler weather. I still have some IPAs in the...

Impressive Pig Ale

Impressive Pig Ale

If a cow is a bovine, a horse is equine, and a sheep is ovine, what is a pig? It turns out a pig is porcine, who knew?  Another Jeopardy winner for you. On to more serious matters. Season opener and my beloved buds are tangling with the hated habs. I will spare you...

My Cup of Tea?

My Cup of Tea?

A cup of tea really isn’t my cup of tea, but JT has been known to tip a cup. A cup of joe or two is more my go to. Farmer Steve is a caf-fiend, an early morning pot is just the beginning of his typical café day. And Fonger indulges in a roll of  “sweet leaf” every now...

Big on Bitters

Big on Bitters

You may not know this but I am quite the art lover. Of course, there are the dogs playing poker and the velvet Elvis looking kingly, and the antique scratch map of the world, all classics. But I also enjoy the modern art these brewers adorn their beers with. Beaus...
