There is no such thing as a bumbleberry, but I do remember a girl in high-school nicknamed “bumble buns” which of course represents a different food group. That didn’t sound right, did it? Anyway, there is such a thing as bumbleberry pie which is a unique Canadian...
After exploring my Regina in depth, we head east to the belle province for a west coast IPA. Racking up some air miles here. I parle vous a bit and in my books “Belle-mere” means mother-in-law, but the girl gracing this beer can looks like no mother-in-law I ever met....
Congratulations to Gateway City on their new digs. A larger purview to brew, additional spaces for cases, and lots of runway for landing flights. Here’s hoping the pinball machines survived the move intact with tilts kept to a minimum. And what better way to toast the...
Small guns and big suspicions. A dangerous combination. Another dangerous combination in my books is high ABV and a stout. Dark, dangerous and complex, and almost the highest ABV we have sampled, this Collective Arts Imperial stout has someone peeling me a grape* with...

No Treasure Island theme here, the pirate on the can, and The Haze of the Dead are part of the Deadhead Series of brews. A deadhead may mean a few things,* but in this case Desthil is referring to fervent, fixated and fanatic fans of the 60’s group The Grateful...
Continuing their Globetrotter Adventure Series, All or Nothing’s intrepid traveller Cornelius Sandiego is in the UK to check out something extra special of the malt and hops persuasion. When I think of Globetrotters I think of Meadowlark Lemon and the Harlem...
Around our house the queen of crafts is definitely the missus, she can knit a quilt like nobody’s business. Me, I can barely knit my brow. I may not be royalty at home or abroad, but I know a thing or two about craft brews. Wellington tell us they are celebrating 10...
Plan A is history. Toast. The inedible kind that is too burnt to rescue with peanut butter. The Leafs are on their way to the links, licking their wounds and practicing their putts and pitches. Plan B is now the new Plan A, but the Oilers are on the brink of...
