Driving back from la belle province I had to do some “parle en douceur” to convince the sûreté du Québec that all the beer I was bringing back was for personal consumption. Once I identified myself as one of the cranky old men who “boire de la bière” the officer gave...
I don’t believe any of the cranky old men have ever said “I’m in the mood for a raspberry light lager”. But with one on my beer shelf front and center, daring me to throw convention to the wind, I head up the raspberry trail with Whitewater Brewing to find the best...
Another Mining 4 Beer event, this one at 3 Brasseurs in Montreal. The joint was hopping, the taps were tapping, the beer was flowing so I was going. After all, who can say no to an invite from the M4B Brewmeister extraordinaire, Cam the man. The AC was off, the heat...
Conventioning in Montreal once again, and our last wigged up and wigged out Crownsmen Cranky collab wrap and tap show ended up on the cutting room floor. An executive decision was made to film take 2 sans RB. To be fair to Rory, he was not there to defend himself,...

According to Sawdust City’s, Electric Storm Sour IPA, and I quote “ Like a face melting guitar solo, this sour IPA smashes into your brain, brings you to your knees and forces you to pray for mercy to the almighty gods of RAWK”! However, according to the first...
Last night’s lacklustre Leafs’ lopsided loss was nothing near the barn burner I was hoping for. Maybe the lethargic loss could be consoled with a Beau’s Barn Burner? Perhaps, or perhaps not. Beau’s tell us that this is “classic amber ale, reimagined.” Imagine that....
