I’m doing double duty tonight with some big numbers from Cowbell. At 8% and 55IBU this is every bit a double in more ways than one, as in two, which I guess is what you would expect from a double, isn’t it? Thank goodness it’s not a daily double, that would be double...
No reservation, no problem. A spur of the moment dinner out with the Missus and one of her favourites is The Grist. Some breweries have restaurants. The Grist is a restaurant that has a brewery, and a pretty good one from my past samplings. Quickly seated and settled...
My favourite sister-in-law has me singing “We Are Family”. * You know the song, “We are family, my sister-in-law got beer for me.” If you have a sister-in-law that brought you beer you can sing along with me. Perhaps more explanation is needed. Consider this texting...
Another edition of Glorious and Free, * this one from where it all started, Dominion City. This brouhaha of a brew that has a bucktooth boxing beaver donning the gloves is a cross Canada crafters collaboration celebrating our still and forever glorious and free...
Lights, Camera, Action, it’s The Crownsmen Show, brought to you by Cranky Old Men Drinking Beer. I joined Jerrod and Gaudy, but for this show we were missing Rory! Well, missing is probably too strong a word, let’s just say Rory wasn’t there. Although Rory’s financial...

Not my first peachy pint, in fact, not my first peachy poolside pint. Come to think of it, not my first sneaky pint either. * Lake of Woods warns us, they call this alliterative ale “deliciously delectable and deceivingly drinkable”. They also advise us not to...
What happens when it’s 5 o’clock somewhere and that somewhere just happens to be here? Well, if you’re a COM it’s time for a beer. Not at all coincidentally, about that time I had entered the premises of one Bridgewater Brewing, where the server’s question “will you...
Facebook says you can’t have more than 5000 friends.* Dunbar says your brain can handle around 150 of them. But Dunbar defined a friend as someone “you would not feel embarrassed about joining uninvited for a drink if you happened to bump into them in a bar.” As far...
It’s another edition of the Crownsmen Show, and today’s theme was winners and losers. Jerrod had his top 5 worst engineering disasters, and as the Civil Engineers * would say, truss me on this, it was fascinating. Rory spent his time introducing us to a stock that no...
