I need to have a word with the CB art director. The can has a picture of a giant astronaut riding a whale. For me this is Surreal,* not sublime. Sublime** would be an astronaut floating through space, tethered of course, with a sky full of stars. Terror would be that...
Had to rinse off after cracking this one*, but before pouring it of course. Good carbonation that’s for sure. They must have gone deep into the pith of the lemon lime fake flavour because its more bitter than I thought it would be. Full of taste but not distasteful....
Hot sunny afternoon, BBQ is fired up, a brew is in a chilled glass and tunes are on the deck. It's griller time. My BBQ deck is the one place in the world where I am king, the last bastion of cranky old men drinking beer everywhere. Unless of course it's a very...

I was talking to Farmer Steve the other day and he thinks agriculture is a real growth industry. I told him I thought that was a home groan.* This small can brew pours golden with a nice bubbly thin white head. It has a fresh slightly hoppy aroma. First swig had nice...
The canoed (rather than caped) Canadian crusader Mr. Canoehead is alive and well in this red ale offering from Sleeping Giant. SG tells us that this brew will “strike you like a lightning bolt….. without fusing a canoe to your head.” If this all seems a bit out there,...
