Upon returning from Kamloops I said to the Department of Morality “I picked up a few locals while I was there”. This resulted in a minor misunderstanding and what we who have been married for many decades know as a Cool Hand Luke moment.* Not to worry, that got...
You’ve got your to-do list, in our house known as directives from the Department of Morality. There are shopping lists, laundry lists, and the proverbial bucket list. Lots of Top ten lists, or top 5 lists for those in a hurry. There is an app called List. Real-estate...
Heifer weizen, sounds like a brainy bovine. But no, it’s not a crafty cow but rather a craft quaff, last night’s brew to be precise. We have our French Canadian brewer of the week, 3 Brasseurs, brewing a German style beer with a Japanese name. The COMDB translation...
Pinball machines, trivia night, happy hour. When I walked in the door, I knew I was in the right place. I believe the art of the alchemist is to turn malt and hops into gold,* so Alchemy is a fitting name for this Kamloops brew pub. Sitting down for a pint with none...
Aligned with our vision of free beer, I have decided only to attend events with an open bar. It is a matter of principle (or is that principal). It may just be our principal principle. Of course, a couple of free drink tickets is a grey area (or is that a gray area)...

Anemone? Isn’t that the plant I can never pronounce properly? Suck it up, buttercup. But since this brew is from the belle province I thought that the COMDB translation department could shed some light on the situation. The first thing they pointed out was my lack of...
The Glorious Sons * lend their name to this Farm League Lager, and now you have what FL call The Rock N’ Roll Lager. Perhaps I am being a bit pedantic here, but the Led Zeppelin song is “Rock and Roll”, Lou Reed is a live “Rock N Roll Animal” with his solo version...
The Rainhard writeup on Armed ‘n Citra tells us melon and grapefruit. Now I love an anagram as much as the next guy. In reading the description, the eyes they see melon and grapefruit, but the taste is a state of lemon not melon. Will Armed be a dream? Wow, anagrams...
An Arctic apple ale from Anchorage Alaska. An alliteration in pseudo cider, how do you like them apples? My favourite son dropped off this brew that a co-worker had brought back from the Broken Tooth brewers way up in sunny Anchorage. In 1867 Seward brokered a deal to...
