I don’t have too many opinions about politics. The truth is I can weave a pretty good yarn, recount a rant, tell a tall tale on occasion. But when it comes to bull shitting I can’t hold a candle to most politicians. That being said, I don’t think Counterpart’s can art...
Eliot Ness headed up the prohibition forces way back in the day and busted up more stills than a serial photobomber. It seems ironic that Great Lakes Brewing out of Cleveland (not to be confused with Great Lakes Brewery out of Canada) * has put him on their amber, but...
I’m no expert about the weather so I am not qualified to comment on the types of linings that may be prevalent in a various cloud types. But on a more cirrus note, I’m not sure that every cloud has a silver lining unless of course the cloud has been seeded with silver...
When it comes to beer reviews, I’ve been known to take the long way home on occasion, the scenic route if you will. A fanciful digression, a bittersweet reminiscence, a tangential departure from the task at hand. I must admit, I have done some pint opining at times...
I’m a Flying Monkeys fan. No not those mangy minions of the Wicked Witch of the West that swooped down to abscond Dorothy and Toto. I’m talking about the Platos of the pints, the Aristoles of the ales, the Socrates of the suds, the Kants of the can. Those heavy...

Those refined fools are at it again. That’s right, another thirsty Thursday of prime time video tasting on the Crownsmen Show. I don’t recall what we talked about (some would say it's all a bit hazy) although I’m sure it was an incredibly interesting and important...
Way back in the day when I was a kid the only shows on TV that I remember were Saturday morning cartoons, Hockey Night in Canada, the Ed Sullivan Show (loved that Topo Gigio) and Gunsmoke. The old man loved Gunsmoke almost as much as he loved to smoke. Let’s put it...
Something in the Water is once again inviting us to drink curiously with Painted Lake, which they tell us is a tribute to the great Canadian artist Tom Thomson, the artistry, the tragedy and the mystery. * Canoe Lake in Algonquin Park was the subject of many of his...
When I first saw the comic strip “Too Much Coffee Man” * I thought it was the unauthorized biography of Farmer Steve. You see, while you’re on your second cup, he is on his second pot. His morning quaff is a carafe. A real caf-fiend. Our COMDB coffee man. I must...
