A Down Under review seems like the right time to give a shout out to my roo wrestlin’ mate from the land of Aus, Barry the Bard, from your seal hugging mate in the great white North. Hope that MAP (Marsupial Accident Prevention) safety plan is working for you down...
I have reviewed 13 premium beers to date on this website and let me assure you, the word “premium” guarantees nothing other than an extra adjective on the can. The title premium almost seems like a participation award these days. 1987 marked the premier of “The...
Take it easy, slow and steady, Big Rig is haulin’ an Alpha Bomb. In addition to being a real bomb*, and the signature wrestling move* of “The Alpha Male” Monty Brown, the Alpha Bomb is a Big Rig Hazy IPA. I just poured one into my glass, being careful to avoid any...

I don’t know who this guy Charlie Horse is but he sounds like a pain. The Charlie on this beer can also happens to be a centaur, to add a visual layer to the already “lame” pun. I would never profess to be an authority on half man half horse creatures but I have never...
Big Tim (she calls him Fred) from Cape Breton is all Spruced up after working on the coal boat, according to our old friend Stompin’ Tom.** And I imagine working on the coal boat would build up a powerful thirst, I mean I’m just sitting watching the ballgame in my...
I am a fool for Refined Fool brews. Love their Party Sharks IPA, delicious. And I had a good to great streak going, even a sour super suds, so would this session hazy IPA end up in my good graces too? When you are always trying new beers it is a bit like Russian...
