How low can you go is an expression often applicable to the COM AGM, but in this case it’s this beer’s ABV. The trend of 0% ABV has been quickly followed with the Micro beer trend, extra low ABVs for those who can’t handle a light beer but don’t want to be a zero....
I got down to downtown Hogtown’s Beertown, so here’s the lowdown on what was going down. It may not surprise you to know that what was going down at Beertown is beer and lots of it. With so many brews from which to choose what was I to do? Shout out to Haley at...
How about those Olympics. The games are exciting, with Canadians swimming, diving, fencing, jumping, and throwing hammers and people*, for the gold. I’m not too sure about the CBC though. First of all, their Olympic motto is “Brave is Unbeatable”. Inspirational?...

Kawartha Lakes is making waves. But no need to worry. We aren’t talking tsunami size or even tidal for that matter. By the way, why do they call those gigantic waves "tidal"?* Ever watched the tide come in? If the tide is supposed to be making waves it's doing a piss...
Deep Purple and Bruno Mars both agreed that if you’re lazy you just stay in bed.* Farmer Steve is on his third cup of joe before most of us hit the snooze button the first time, “them ol’ Bessies ain’t goin’ to milk themselves “ he tells us. But when it comes to bears...
