I think it was my old buddy Rick who once said never trust a beer with no head. I might be paraphrasing here but you get the picture. Subtle segue! By the way I think I did a great job on this picture, don't you? Lakeside by the lake side. Unfortunately the picture...
After enjoying a Collingwood Freestyle Oktoberfestbier so much ( great beer, kudos Collingwood) I was looking forward to this one. This was more of a letdown than The Hangover II! Listen to this, “chamomile, lemon and orange peel, coriander”! Do you know what...
I like international beers. Why is that you ask. Is it the unique flavours, the centuries of brewing tradition, the care and craftsmanship that goes into every beer? Nope. It is the extra 27ml I get in every can of beer versus a North American can of beer. Bonus beer!...
World acclaimed Asian lager. Award winner in Singapore, London, Paris, Ho Chi Minh City, and a host of other impressive cities around the world. In the immortal and grammatically incorrect words of Shania Twain, “that don't impress me much.” Lots of bluster on the...

Things vanilla is great in. Cake, sugar cream pie, tea, ice cream, donuts, air fresheners and yoghurt. Things vanilla is not great in. My beer. Granville Island is a great place to visit in Vancouver. Take a water taxi across False Creek and visit the shops. The...
You know how refreshing a Corona is on a hot summer day. With a small slice of lime to fight off scurvy. Well imagine if some how you could squeeze a whole lime down that skinny ass bottleneck, and on the way down that lime was so squeezed that every single drop of...
I remember having a Side Launch Midnight Lager a while ago, dark and smooth as silk, delicious. Well it seems like they put all their smooth in their Midnight Lager, because there was definitely no smooth left for their Northbound Lager. Flavourful but not the...
Blanche de Chambly - Translation – White of Chambly. A Belgian style white beer from Chambly, Quebec, an off island suburb of Montreal. “ A pale golden wheat ale with dense foam.” Well the first thing I learned upon pouring it was that their descriptor “dense foam”...
