Blowin’ Off a Little Froth

Blowin’ Off a Little Froth

30,000 Islands* sounds like someone visited Gananoque and said “1,000 islands, that’s chump change”, and in the ultimate display of one-upmanship claimed to have 30,000 of the things. I guess these days anything with a shrub and a seagull is an island, but back in my...

Still Standing

Still Standing

At the cottage with no adult supervision.  Burning burgers, boiling corn and pouring a pint. Note to self, don't try to gauge BBQ cooking time for a burger based on finishing a 6.9% IPA. Thirsty after being out on the lake so this brew was going down at a rapid rate....

Grill and Swill

Grill and Swill

500 mil of Holsten pil to swill while I chill and grill. Thank goodness for the BBQ, man's excuse (opportunity) to quaff a cold one before dinner. According to The COMDB Guide to the Fine Art of BBQing,  well done is well done. So if I want this chicken to be crispy,...

Juicy & Dry?

Juicy & Dry?

The art work on the can depicts a lone wolf howling at a moon almost as big as the whole night sky. Well not exactly. Wolf howling may be heard at night, but it is not a behavior directed at the moon. Instead, it is a hail to hunt. Which is a smooth syntax segue into...

Hankerin’ for a Hazy One

A warm day had me hankering* for an IPA. How about a hazy one? Sure why not. So I went camping with Side Launch on the 5th Coast**. This brew poured golden and slightly hazy, not milkshake hazy. Nice mild hoppy aroma with a touch of fruit in there.  The first swig had...

Cheap & Easy

Cheap & Easy

To be honest with you I have been avoiding this brew, without good reason really. It has a prominent position in the grocery store beer section, is quite cheap* and seems hell bent on marketing just 100 calories. Probably my hesitance was quite simply that I usually...

Hockley Night in Canada

Hockley Night in Canada

Cool evening, good excuse for a dark brew by the fire, not that I need an excuse these days.* Award winning the can says. Not sure what that means anymore. These days awards are like opinions, everyone has one. In my day it was the best and the rest. According to...

Yee-Haw, It’s a Shindig

Everyone is invited to the shindig, it’s going to be big. Join us at the hoedown to get the lowdown. It’s a rendezvous with a brew or two.  Come as you are, I wish it was an open bar. So Cowbell Brewery has invited us to a shindig at the big ol’ Cowbell Barn. And we...
