According to the COMDB Guide to Beer Tasting Rule #7, if you find a beer you like write the name down, because with all those crazy beer names out there, I'll be damned if I can remember them all. Good advice not taken usually becomes expensive education. Out to...
Hoppy, smooth, convenient. Convenient? This how the third of our Four Peaks is described. I like the visual word play in the beer name, HAZY, bolding the AZ paying tribute to Arizona.* But out of 4800 adjectives available in the English language, not including...
Need a lift? Well, an updraft, or an amber, usually lifts my kilt. Love me an amber. So when I saw this amber ale Kilt Lifter I said to myself I gotta get me some of that. It turns out this is the beer that got things started for Four Peaks back in 96, and is still...
Visiting Arizona, I find myself in a dry state. Time to tackle Four Peaks. Hiking in the mountains? Heavens no, who do you think I am, Jaques Cousteau?* No, I'm talking about the Tempe based brewery.** Got me a variety pack, figured I'd tackle all four Four Peaks...

Lots of breweries are running restaurants that serve beer. But there are still a few chill brewers out there that are running bars that serve food, and Mascot in the entertainment district of downtown TO is doing just that.* A step or two down into a room with no view...
At the big mining show in the little apple. What on earth, or in the earth, would we be mining for in downtown Toronto? Beer of course. That’s right, at the Mining4Beer soiree at the Craft Beer Market. A great evening, kudos to Cameron and all those involved. With...
St.Thomas, the Railway City, has seen a few boxcars in it’s heyday. More than 100 rail cars a day used to travel through the St.Thomas station including the locomotive that hit and killed poor Jumbo the elephant! Does it seem ironic only to me that the most famous...
