Last ski day of the year and I was hitting the slopes, literally. After a couple of falls that would make the Niagara River jealous, I was looking for some après ski recovery. As I got down to the bottom of the hill, before my eyes appeared, a bit hazy from a possible...
COMDB riddle time: Q: If it’s still light outside and you go inside how is it that the dark pours in? A: When you stop in for a lunch libation at Flying Monkeys and a Reapers & Mowers dark lager is poured in your glass. A site visit to the fabled Flying Monkeys...
I’ve been from coast to coast to coast in this great country called Canada. When it comes to the US of A I’ve been to the Pacific, the Atlantic and what they used to call the Gulf of Mexico too. I’ve dipped a toe in the Mediterranean, Indian, and Red Seas, and...
I checked out the beer fridge and this bright pink can of Palm City looked handy. Sorry, sometimes I just can’t resist. * When I saw this beer name my first thought went to the Palm Islands in Dubai. What do you do when all the waterfront property is already bought?...

Talk about some serious frequent flyer miles, Voyager 1 has travelled 16 billion of them. An upgrade may be possible? Voyager 2 is also in the multi billion-mile club with 13.3 billion miles to date. As for this Voyager from Renaissance Brewing, it’s playing a bit of...
Fast Eddy’s. A river raft run, perhaps? Or a souped-up Edsel. I’d like to think it was Newman’s Oscar nominated role in The Hustler. * Fast Eddie: So why go to college? Sarah: Got nothing else to do on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Fast Eddie: What do you do on the other...
Even beer reviewers get writer’s block. I took a look at this pedestrian pilsner and couldn’t think of anything to write about. The big blue jay on the can could be a segue into the start of the baseball season. Go Jays go, so far so good. Perhaps I should have...
