I was preparing for that reliable sign of spring arrival. Not the Cherry blossom festival. Not the tune-up on the lawn mower. No, this is the seasonal Toronto Maple Leaf disintegration in the Stanley Cup playoffs. There is always a glimmer of hope and I wanted a good...
The COMDB Translation department tell us that an Eisbӓren is a Polar bear. I've seen browns and blacks in the wild (if you want to call my trailer porch or my backyard the wild) but I've only ever seen a polar bear doing its sad slow to and fro nowhere to go walk at...
Farmer Steve is so cheap he's free, so when he brings a case of Laker to the party that tells you something. The beer store calls it a " value priced" beer. Waterloo Brewing, * the pour the boar brewers, are also the Laker maker, but keep the brands separate. What I...
A marshallow IPA? A craft brew concept so bizarre that it could only be the handiwork of those freaky far-out Flying Monkeys.Those flashy flyers are a COM favourite, but to be honest I always thought marshmallows were a campfire confection best served on flame and...
A light beer that technically isn’t light. * A pilsner that they say is a Euro style lager. An Off the Hop Brewhouse brew, brewed at Newark Brewery. Is anything about this brew as it seems? Is this one of Rumsfeld’s unknown unknowns? A hops and malt mystery wrapped in...

First ride of the season is always something special. Fingers crossed that the battery will crank over that 28 year old V-twin. After a couple of nerve shaking backfires taking it down the road, hoping it won’t stall at the first stop light. Easy on the corners, watch...
This review is a big ol’ chocolate milk stout shout out and a tip of the tankard to MT and the good folks at Mine Connect for the donation of this fine stein to the cranky old cause. The miners tell us that 18 elements from the periodic table go into the brewing of...
A high risk low reward barrel ride over Niagara Falls could be considered a daredevil deed or a suicide ride, most likely the latter as opposed to the former. Some say the devil is in the details. One detail to consider before planning to go over the falls is that...
Getting ready for the hockey game with a cool Pilsner from Manitoulin Island Brewing. It's the big island in Lake Huron - almost 50 km in length with small lakes within it. A kind of recursive lake thing going on. This beer is called Ten Mile Point * which is maybe a...
