The Farmer’s Creed * meets the fisherman’s creed with this light lager. “A feller isn’t plotting schemes. Out fishin’. He’s only busy with his dreams. Out fishin’. His livery is a coat of tan, his creed to do the best he can. A feller’s always mostly man. Out...
Blonde is a pretty direct moniker, about as simple and straightforward as you can get when it comes to the naming game. MacLean’s beer names are usually pretty plain Janes and Johns, although their Lazy Hazy IPAzy was getting a little crazy. The exception that proves...
Another art appreciation session from the fine folks at CA. So what’s new? Well, were sampling a new IPA, New England style, with hops from New Zealand. So it turns out there’s lots new about this brew. A thick as a brick pour, carbonated extra pulp OJ style. No...
The Ports is like Cheers for seniors, where everyone used to know your name. * Whenever I drink a pub ale I immediately think “would this meet the high standards of the Ports clientele.” If it is cold and beer it certainly meets those standards. But as far as a COMDB...

Any good Scotsman can tell you that Old Robbie Burns was outstanding in his field and I’m sure Annie could attest to that as well. But can this farm fresh Scottish Export Ale from Quayle’s be as fresh as Burns was that Lammas night among the rigs o’ barley? * This...
Once we found ourselves in the high grass we knew we had a problem that Houston couldn’t help us with. We needed a hero. Maybe a young Kevin Bacon dancing through the grist mill, all footloose and fancy free? Or a pre-mole removal Enrique Iglesias? Bowie suggested we...
High Grass? Lemongrass and ginger? Cannabis Dry Ginger Ale? Sounds like a drink Fonger would order. * High grass could also refer to the usual destination of my drives on the links, unless of course there is water on the course. You gotta have balls to play golf like...
Me: I’m reviewing a London Pilsner today. JT: I thought the Euro brew tour was done and dusted? Me: Not that London. It’s the London on the Thames River, just North of Westminster near Stratford, up the road from Windsor… You know, that London. * Just to be clear,...
