It seemed like the right night for a night light, a bright idea if I say so myself. How about one of the Canadian vernacular. That’s right, it’s Light, Eh! from our Kingsville connection, they say their beers are for those who wander. Does a wandering mind count? I...
I’m a patron of Matron, a connoisseurer of the brewer. A dark with class, is in my glass, signed and sealed from Bloomfield. Yes, from the blooming and booming metropolis of Bloomfield, Prince Edward County. Not to be confused with Bloomfield, Prince Edward Island,...
Bowie was daydreaming about it, Frank wanted us to fly him there, and Niven thought it was a balloon. Pink Floyd was interested in its darker side. Audrey Hepburn scored Oscars and Grammys for mooning over a river. And Bruno Mars was actually talking to it. That moon...
Another giant Asian brewery yields one chilly Tsingtao, direct from China to my beer fridge. I’ve been to China a few times, walked the Great Wall, bought some souvenirs at the little shop at the gate, I think it was called Wall Mart. The scroll in the pic is a gift I...

MC Hammer was a chill MC with those baggy pants and more moves than a chess master.* Mike Hammer was a hot headed, hard boiled, hard hitting, and hard living private eye.** This brew is so cool it’s a Frost Hammer, a double dose of IPA chill and swill. It’s also a...
