Even the pros have their hello ice moments

There could well be more concussions at amateur curling bonspiels across Canada then in all the NHL and NFL combined. * Because when hurrying hard results in an ass over tea kettle slider side up hello ice moment and that unprotected noggin meets the rink with a sound like a sledgehammer hitting a coconut, you’re in for some hazy days. Trying to keep your balance on ice is one thing but with a slider on your shoe after a brew or two, it should come as no surprise when you end up flat on your back for all the wrong reasons.

So is that what the Refined Fool gang is telling us? That just by avoiding falling, like the two stolid and solid sweepers on the can, you qualify for incredible athlete status? Step up to the podium and try not to trip as we present you with the Fall Free Participation Medal.

Of course, curling has nothing to do with this beer unless you’re having it on ice, sipping while skipping or having a second one when seconding.  I’ve just exhausted my curling vocabulary, time to see if this bitter biter is on the button.

A nice light bright golden pour with a light white bright head. A tropical sweet juicy aroma, juicy fruit. It has a sweet tropical juicy creamy mouthfeel with a touch of pineapple bitters. It really presents itself like a session IPA. Everything about this brew is light and bright, it strikes me as more summertime suds than bonspiel brew. A nice relaxing and refreshing quaff. Everything fades a bit as we near the finish line, but it all remains balanced.

*Editor’s Comment: Canada accounts for about 90% of the world’s curlers and has close to 1000 curling rinks. It is estimated that there are approximately 2 million Canadians that curl at least once annually.

**Editor’s Comment: In a typical season the NFL will have 180 concussions, and the NHL will have 80. With 1696 active players in the NFL and 726 in the NHL, both leagues on average will have about 11% of their players incurring concussions each year.

Final Rating: Nice, Light and Alright at 15 out of 20
