Just the thought of delirium tremens had me shaking. And the pink elephant on the bottle is not a reference to Sarah Palin or other female Republicans, but is of course all about the idiom “seeing pink elephants”* or hallucinating from extreme over-indulgence. I have...
This brew is in partnership with the Niagara River Lions. Not familiar with the Lions are you? Perhaps a local rowing team? Or are they masting the jibs and tucking the sails for a regatta? Or maybe a synchronized swimming squad? Wrong on all counts. They are a...
Ma took her pills? Did I hear that right? What kind of a name is Motueka anyway? Can you squeeze any more vowels in there, the "i" and the "y" are feeling left out (literally). * Looks like it’s time for a COMDB geography lesson. Motueka is a small town in the South...
The Premium lager from Brewers Blackbird is a delicious offering that'll tickle your taste buds and have you coming back for more! Not just great beer, but the location is spectacular as well - a building from 1837 in Ancaster Ontario that has been completely...
I know what you are thinking. Star Wars days and Jedi Knights. The Force, of course. Jabba the Hutt and nothing but. Maybe there should be a picture of the slave Princess Leia in that metal bikini on the can, how cool would that be.* Ok, now you’ve crossed the line...

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)...
