Maybe this should be called crazy old men drinking beer because after my last sour, and souring, experience I said never again. But here I am sampling a sour and thinking to myself never say never, again. But while sharing my first sour disaster with the province’s...
Just how refreshing is Brock Street? Some say it is the most refreshing street in Canada, that some being Brock Street Brewery from their downtown Whitby* locale of “Historic Brock Street Est. 1855”. Will this be a refreshing red or a red flag? ...
India is not a country normally associated with beer but during my visit there earlier this summer, I asked for the "local beer" , I was given a Kingfisher Lager and I was pleasantly surprised. Although the name goes back to 1857, the brand was reinvented by a jet...
I had the pleasure of lunching at Bench Brewery a few weeks ago and picked up this Hopster Double IPA there. Bench has a big facility, a very nice dining area, and rows upon rows of hops. This particular brew uses their own Centennial hops as well as Idaho7, Citra and...

Chuffed to bits? Hey Sawdust City, what the hell kind of name is that? I sent a request to the COMDB Translation department and their prompt reply was a curt note “WE DON’T DO ENGLISH.” Of course, our Editor is a bit of a know it all* and a show off to boot and I knew...
Black Sail, and we aren’t talking about November 25th.* I love the name Black Sail**. It sounds ominous, like pirates on the horizon, ready to make me walk the pint! It turns out there are a number of brews named Black Sail and not only that, there is actually a...
A silly beer name but these brewers are no fools. Well in fact they are. Refined Fools that is. I still remember Mr.T’s famous line from Rocky III which launched his career, “I pity the fool “* referring to anyone who would be foolish enough to cross him and receive...
