In an act of extreme patriotism the likes of which have seldom been seen outside of wartime, I find myself (a 60 year Maple Leafs fan) cheering for the Montreal Canadiens, the only Canadian team left in the playoffs. Is this a Twilight Zone episode of some parallel...
I see these sour beers on the shelf and think to myself, what a terrible idea, not for me, no thank you. Then what happens? One comes in my beer of the month club selection. I guess they didn’t get the memo. What memo is that, you ask? The memo that reads “NO SOUR...
A beer that tastes like scotch. Good lord, what a terrible combination that is. If you want scotch, drink a nice scotch. Don’t search for the taste of scotch in a beer. No wonder this is “original”, no one else would ever contemplate or try to copy such a foul...
Potentially the game that decides who will be the next Stanley Cup Champion, and yet it is an insignificant game because the Leafs aren’t playing. The Habs beat the Lightning in OT, doing their best karaoke of the BeeGees “Stayin Alive”. So I pour a nice looking lager...
I wasn’t sure if the name was a reference to some Romeo’s journal entry, or a farmhouse truck fleet? Either one sounds like Farmer Steve’s domain. On closer inspection of the can there is a picture of an old truck so I would assume the later. This Czech* style beer is...

155 years on Oct 1st! They say Moosehead Breweries is Canada's oldest independent brewery, well done Moosehead! The world can always use a little more Canada. As old as Canada, and that's no easy portage. For some reason I always thought Moosehead was a Newfoundland...
Talk about easy drinking, I went to take a picture of a bottle of Corona Extra but by the time I snapped the pic the bottle was empty, with a lonely lime languishing in the dregs. I remember many years ago attending a patio business lunch on a bright summer day with...
Wow. What a great Pilsner. The can explains the name, Switchback, a path to the summit for the determined and the adventurous for those who enjoy the journey as much as the destination. My destination was sitting down and drinking this beer, I can’t recall what the...
This beer poured very light golden, almost yellow. A few bubbles but they disappeared quickly leaving a very clear beer. Invisible man clear. A thin white head which lasted about as long as a politician’s promise. A fresh aroma with malt in the background. A nice...
