Although I rarely have what anyone would call a sunny disposition, this bright yellow Sunsplit in my beer fridge caught my eye. It seemed to be a much more accurate indicator of an early spring than any large hibernating rodent ever was. So here comes the sun, but...
When I was 5 I was at a family picnic with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in hand and on face and happened upon a beehive. The old man was stoic about the whole situation “Looks like he’s not allergic to bee stings, good to know”. My Mother and Grandmother debated...
The fine folks at Lost Craft may still be searching for that missing boat of theirs, but that doesn’t seem to distract them from brewing some tasty brews. Their Caramilk Stout was a Christmas Eve eve super suds sampling recommended by none other than Bud, the Elf on...
A double Dutch? Skip that. This isn’t a brew from those nether lands, but from Hamlet’s old stomping grounds. Let’s hope this one is a great Dane and not a princely tragedy. Time to do a Faxe check and see if we’ve reviewed any other Danish brews. The brewer’s name,...

When I make flapjacks I use Pearl Milling Co syrup * for the grandkids and save the maple syrup for me. Does that make me a bad Grandad? I already won the coveted best dad in the world award, so what do I care? But when it comes to most maple syrup beers the grand...
Bright lights, big city, but if the flash and dash frenetic pace of downtown little apple has you heading for a break down I have the cure. It’s a 220 King Street West step down to a down to earth bar to mellow down and down a cold one before a meltdown. Mascot...
My old buddy JS loves Poland, raves about it and spends lots of time there. Me, I’ve been to lots of places all over the world but never Poland. But you get to a point in your life where you don’t say “someday” anymore. I’ve resigned myself to the fact that I’ll never...
