My daughter-in-law was visiting and is going gluten free (are blueberry muffins gluten free?) and being a good host I made a gluten free addition to the beer fridge. From the fabled town of Glutenberg, capital of the Free State of Gluten, comes this Glutenberg...
I doubt that beer, even really good beer, has ever played a prominent role in sustaining a long term marriage. More likely the opposite is true. So what is a brewer going to tell me about being hitched*. I’ve been at it for almost 40 years and I’ll be damned if I can...
Having not been to Benihanas recently my Japanese was a little rusty, so I couldn’t recall what Jutsu meant and had to look it up. According to the Wiktionary it is “a bound morpheme of the Sino-Japanese lexical stratum of the Japanese language.” What the hell does...
A perfectly poured pint perhaps? A pretty pour for sure. I need a longer arm to give myself a proper pat on the back for that pour. It’s beer-eautiful. This Big Rig Gold has a malt bread aroma, you can tell there is flavour galore waiting at the door. This is a...
I need to have a word with the CB art director. The can has a picture of a giant astronaut riding a whale. For me this is Surreal,* not sublime. Sublime** would be an astronaut floating through space, tethered of course, with a sky full of stars. Terror would be that...

555 Brewery is located in Picton and has been around since 2017. The first time I went there was 2019 and they had this brew at that time. It is part of their mainstay of beers, The Judge, The Jury and The Verdict…. There could also be The Trial” thrown in there, but...
I was talking to Farmer Steve the other day and he thinks agriculture is a real growth industry. I told him I thought that was a home groan.* This small can brew pours golden with a nice bubbly thin white head. It has a fresh slightly hoppy aroma. First swig had nice...
The canoed (rather than caped) Canadian crusader Mr. Canoehead is alive and well in this red ale offering from Sleeping Giant. SG tells us that this brew will “strike you like a lightning bolt….. without fusing a canoe to your head.” If this all seems a bit out there,...
