Is year is the year? And is this beer the beer? The answer to both questions is probably no but let me explain. My first thought was a beer that boost my beloved Buds from our favourite baseball brewer, bravo! But as my pedantic pain in the ass Editor tells me so...
Dorthy felt there was no place like it, Pliny the Elder thought it is where the heart is, and Leone Redbone will tell you it’s where you hang your hat.* We’re talking about home of course. As for the shape of home, it’s a pentagon.** Any baseball fan will tell you...
The cure for Sober October? Just replace the “c” with a “k” and start festing. It’s Oktoberfest of course and a Festbier from Wellington no less. With Muskoka Oktoberfest just a few short days away I thought a bit of a warmup with a cold one was a good way to cool off...
Just like the Grinch, this acronym had me puzzling till my puzzler was sore. Or is it an acronym at all? C.R.E.A.M. Craft Reaches Excellence in Achieving Maltiness. Catch the Riptide Eventually After Midnight. Cream Recipe Entices All Men. All of these are more of a...
Juicy Fruit, sounds delicious. Just like the gum only with alcohol. Chew on that! And from the great team at Brock Street no less, the self-proclaimed most refreshing street in Canada. Sounds like a can’t miss winner. Unfortunately no chicken dinner tonight. My...

Publican House tells us that “finding a broken record in your collection is never fun.” What I hoped would be fun was finding a Broken Record Porter in my beer fridge collection. One can hope. My record collection has Aerosmith to Zappa, Styx and Stones, the White...
From downtown Toronto to the shipyards of Vancouver, I’m on the East to West armchair express. Sampling this West Coast brew called East of the Sun from North Point breweries and with no sense of direction this review is going South pretty quick. But the name of this...
I wasn’t exactly a cool kid. I think in high school I was voted most likely to be a beer reviewer. But that doesn’t mean I don’t get to visit some of the coolest bars around and downtown Toronto has their fair share. For great selection it’s Beertown. If you want an...
Water on the water, beer on the pier. Pier pressure or just good advice? * Time to lock and roll with Port Dalhousie’s Lock Street and fill it up to the brim to win with Brimstone brewery. But a beer named Pier Pressure could be a Pilsner from Coast, or a Kolsch from...
