Cream Ale takes me back to my youth. Not that I drank beer as a youngster - but I can distinctly remember watching Saturday morning cartoons on an American TV channel from Syracuse or possibly Rochester and seeing ads for Genesse Cream Ale. I'm not sure they got the...
If the Silversmith squirrels are looking for nuts, they sure came to the right beer. The squirrels around here are as large as NYC sewer rats and just as deferential, as in not. They remind me of those rascally rodents raiding the most spectacular bird feeder in the...
Long Dark Voyage to Uranus! The Department of Morality said “That’s disgusting. Who would drink something with a name like that.” Although most likely a rhetorical question the answer is, I would. I’m not sure if she is offended by Russian Imperial Stouts or space...
Here I am watching hockey and drinking a Centre Cut #3 baseball brew from our friends out in Left Field. I appreciate the Canadian spelling of the word centre, even though my spell check doesn’t, must be American software, Eh. Speaking of American, I’m watching the...

Another trip round the sun and none the wiser for it. I guess making it through a year like this is cause enough for celebration. Not that I need much of a cause to snap the cap on a Merchant Ale House big bottle brew. Jacked & Juicy sounds like another Jack Black...
Merry Xcess to all. It's that time of the year when everything is supposed to be special. What's a beer drinker to do when facing pressure to up their game for the holiday season? ... the answer should be obvious - more beer.* My response was to reach for the...
Time for another West Side Story, but this time it’s Lower West Side and instead of the Jets and the Sharks it’s a far less dramatic and not at all musical brew review. * Let’s see if this one has a happy ending. But this isn’t big apple westside, it’s little apple...
