What better way to warm up for Muskoka Oktoberfest than a prosit with a Muskoka Brewery Festbier. I got reminiscing about Oktoberfest back in the day, cheers and beers, a host with the most chanting prost, prosit until you close it. In the immortal words of the Irish...
It turns out a Brut IPA isn't simply a buffed up version of your regular IPA. No, this is a new type of IPA that is gaining popularity - although I'm not sure why. The Brut IPA from Nine Locks is supposed to be "bone dry, lighter in color compared to other IPAs and...
Harry Belafonte was loading the banana boat but daylight was coming (Day-O, Day-O) and he wanted to go home.* Sounds to me like Harry was pulling an all-nighter. But this banana boat is of the Hefeweizen variety. Sounds like a job for….. you guessed it, the COMDB...
This IPA came in a Refined Fool IPA Fun Pack and sat in my beer fridge for a while due to my avocado anxieties and some other concerns. When it comes to beer I am not a fan of the fizzy fresca style, perhaps from a bad experience with another “champagne” style brew. I...
Full disclosure, I have never milked, rode, tipped or kissed a cow*. I don’t know if Farmer Steve ever got to first base with a cow, but there is a good chance he has kissed his Kubota. He loves that tractor. Over in Europe they have been dealing with a cow kissing...

“Hello darkness my old friend, I’ve come to talk with you again.” So said Rhymin’ Simon in his song Sounds of Silence* and it seemed like an apt introduction to the season of stouts. Leaves falling, hockey season started, cooler weather. I still have some IPAs in the...
If a cow is a bovine, a horse is equine, and a sheep is ovine, what is a pig? It turns out a pig is porcine, who knew? Another Jeopardy winner for you. On to more serious matters. Season opener and my beloved buds are tangling with the hated habs. I will spare you...
Some say that reds and ambers are similar but with distinct differences. Others say the moniker red and amber are interchangeable and the differences are minimal. I say I like me a red but I love me an amber. Don’t get me wrong, I do love me some reds and there are...
The East Coast Tour continues. After visiting Bathurst, now it’s time to drop in on Trailway Brewing in Fredericton and their double IPA. Sensible Nonsense sounds like a Refined Fools brew, or an apt description of most political campaigns these days, but what do I...
