A citrusy pale eh. I remember way back in the day when Creemore Springs was a craft beer brewer.* Their beer, they only made a lager, would show up very now and then and would be a welcome respite from the Canadians and Blues that were standard fare. But in 2005...
The big lake breeze transforms a warm day into a cool evening. Perfect for a faux fire and a ship shape stout. Time to sip on a ship to shore Shipman’s for sure. Decew Falls* brewers remind me of Gateway City, both are brewers in love with their local history. Every...
When Joan Jett was questioned about her sexuality she said “If you want to know who I am, listen to my music”. I don’t think Joan Jett has any secrets. I’ll tell you something else that's no secret, C’est What Durham are no nonsense nitro shaken not stirred beer...
I am accustomed to having my breakfast wheat shredded, not fermented. But if Kris Kristofferson, Jim Morrison and Sheryl Crow all recommend a breakfast barley sandwich then it must be a thing, just not my thing.* Or you could have beerios, which is substituting beer...

Out and about for dinner with the missus. Kibitzing with the movers and shakers, saluting the captains of industry at the local yacht club. But the only Thurston* in the house was my powerful thirstin’ for a frosty brewski. I was dry docked so to speak. Appetizer...
There’s Juice Newton, everyone’s angel of the morning, or OJ “The Juice” Simpson running through an airport. Dr. J and MJ both had some juicy moves, and then there’s our old buddy JT trying to plead a case at the bar. But you will never, ever run into anyone juicier...
