Spring is sprung, but no grass is showing. Spring my ass, it’s still snowing.* The first day of Spring and it looks like we are living in a snow globe. No dockside dalliances or boathouse brews in the foreseeable future, the last vestiges of winter are hard pressed to...
Stouts generally fare pretty well with COM, with the exception of the Imperial high ABV variety which tend to be more miss than hit. That being said I was hell bent to sample this New Ontario Hades brew and I’ll be damned if it isn’t a strong yet tasty coffee stout of...
Out on a Saturday evening, March break bowling with the brood. When it comes to bowling the only time I am going to break 100 is on the highway going home, but the alley is licensed so things are looking up, and they have an interesting draft selection which I am...
What is this March madness? No glass no class, from the bottle and full throttle. In an executive decision I decided I’m not going to wash a glass for 330 ml of ice cold lager that’s going to go down quicker than a Mike Tyson opponent. And I don’t care what day it is,...
Pils for your ills and ales for what ales ya’. Although I am feeling fine I think it’s time for my pils. You know the old saying, 16 ounces of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Old Ben Franklin spouted that advice back in the day and ended up on the US $100 bill so...

Wow, 70 IBU. My old buddy JT watches his IBUs like I watch my hockey. Me, not so much. I always thought that IBU was a midwestern university but once again I am incorrect. Apparently, it stands for International Bitterness Unit.* When it comes to International...
Down on the farm again, this time the Anderson homestead and rustling up an amber. I love me an amber. But will I love me this amber? I enjoyed their cream ale draft so hopes are high and wide. A pretty bright new penny copper pour of the amber cambre, it looks like...
In the year 1854 Oscar Wilde is born, the Republican party was formed, and the original Collingwood Brewery is established. This brew celebrates that brewery milestone as well as the 8th anniversary of the modern-day brewery. This is a different style of freestyle....
Our Blue Jay boys of summer are getting warmed up in good ol’ Dunedin FLA. now, and I am sure the Left Field team are excited for the season to start. A double play can get you out of a tough inning if you’re a pitcher or break your heart if you’re at the plate...
