Last night me and Bob* were “Workin’ on a Light Moves, Trying some Flying Monkeys brews, Workin’ on a Light Moves.” Just to be clear, Seger was on the turntable, not here in person, and as far as drinking goes I think he's been dry since 2019, which coincidentally...
I remember our first and last yard sale. The Department of Efficiency had decided to get rid of anything around the house that wasn’t serving a useful purpose. Luckily I wasn’t retired at the time. That Saturday morning I was taking my favourite son to hockey practice...
I have a passing knowledge of French (I passed grade 10 French) and a tropical lake sounds a lot more inviting than the lake I’m looking at right now which is frozen as stiff as a stone statue. And believe me, decorum prevented me from using some less suitable similes...
I thought a bricks and mortar baseball reference might be the Wrigley Field ivy covered brick outfield wall, but there’s no baseball banter with this brew. Left Field, our favourite ballpark brewers are busy rhyming up a Bricks and Mortar Coffee Porter for us and I...
While JT is quaffing crafts and cavorting in Costa Rica, someone has to hold down the fort and do a brew review, or two. Ok, a few. So, I find myself thrust into the lime lite once again.* Shawn Ampersand Ed treated us to a cherries jubilee brewski previously, now...

The COMDB translation department loves German, or as they like to say “Wir lieben Deutsch”. They tells us that “Kloster” means monastery, and Andechs slogan “Genuβ für Leib & Seele” translates to “Pleasure for the body and soul”. Can this dark double bock live up...
My horse sense is limited to say the least. However, I have attended a few triple crown races. No, not in the colonies heaven forbid. The St Ledger Stakes in Doncaster, UK of course. * Ladies with big hats, gentlemen with ties and ascots. I found out that a longshot...
If you’re thinking of buying some chocolates for the missus this Valentine’s Day, a little friendly advice. Shop early, because I expect this Cowbell special is going to create a chocolate shortage in this part of the world. This one is a loco cocoa imperial storm...
Just like Captain Morgan (yes the same one that adorns that half finished bottle of rum in the liquor cabinet that no one has touched since three Christmases ago) I too search for the cup of gold. * His cup of gold was Panama (he had to settle for Jamaica), mine is...
