The ice is off the lake but it’s still on the rink. Playoff time baby. Put up or shut up. Go hard or go home. Goals or golf. Show up and grow up. Put on your big boy athletic supporter. I was really hoping I would see the Leafs win the cup again, this time in colour....
Hatch? A belated Easter review perhaps. You can’t be late for Easter, people will get cross.* This brew has hatched a scrawny plucked rooster with a comb already in place. Maybe the hatchery is near a hydro line or a nuclear power plant? Wrong, this brew is hatched...
News Flash: Shortage of Chocolate in Belgium Plays Havoc with Easter Festivities. It appears a shortage of chocolate has been perpetrated by the Belgian brewer Hugel who have put so much chocolate in their Invidia beer that many children will go without their...
You know what two loons are called? A pair of loons of course. Do you know what a flock of loons are called? An asylum of loons! For real. How funny is that (redundant question). Love the brewery name. Love the loon logo. Love their slogan “Beer’s Calling” which could...
We are Down on the farm* again, as in the Farm League, haulin’ ass to try to get into the big show. Haulin’ lager reminds me once again of the movie “Smokey and the Bandit”** and Jerry Reed haulin lager from Texarcana to Atlanta. We must have seen that flick 10 times...

This is a Boar of the Month Club selection from our friends at Four Rivers. The can shows a boar’s head being ceremoniously served up on a platter for the famished few who aren’t turn off by a snout full of snout. Apparently this ancient English tradition* is making a...
Apocalypso?? Perhaps a misspelled tribute to the epic war film “Apocalypse Now”*, or the not as epic but still engaging Mel Gibson’s “Apocalypto”.** More likely it is word play in reference to the Calypso hops used in this Collingwood dry hopped pils.*** The Blue...
Brock Street claims to be “the most refreshing street in Canada”, although Mill Street, William Street, Schooner Street, Lock Street and a number of other street named breweries may challenge that claim. Regardless of who is the refreshest, I am a Brock Street fan. I...
Dark times call for dark beers, as the saying goes.* And with the sun setting at 8PM these days it must be dark beer time. I think the spring and fall solstice is when the sun sets at the same time as Hockey Night in Canada starts, but I am not sure, I was never much...
