This pale rider rode into town meaning business. Of course, that business being quenching my thirst. Silversmith has been on a roll with COMDB. Our first intro to the Virgil church-based brewer was The Black Lager and since then all of their offerings have received...
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...
Editor: Once again RA is on the case, this time a Grand River* brew. The brewery was founded in 2007 and originally located in Cambridge Ontario, on the banks of the Grand River. It was purchased by Magnotta Wines in 2018. In 2020 Magnotta closed the Cambridge brewing...
Another Shillow beer of the month club offering, will we have another mystery brew on our hands today or is this brew in fact an English Ale? A Gloucester based brewery, another Ontario community with a decidedly British name. Gloucester UK * is about 2.5 hours due...
As far as I’m concerned, I couldn’t care less if it’s 5 o’clock anywhere. I’m at the cottage, it’s hot, I’m thirsty and retired. Sounds like it’s time to try on some Party Shorts for size. A session IPA is in session. From my last sampling of an ass kicking heavy duty...
Ah yes, good old Major Tom. I remember when the song Space Oddity came out on the radio, I thought it was a weird novelty song. I remember being at a house party a few years later and hearing his Ziggy Stardust album (back when people played albums at house parties)...
I thought this brew (and corresponding brew pic*) might be a good segue into a shout out to my old buddy Crazy George who goes down to Burning Man each year in Nevada.** What started out as a bon fire vigil on Baker Beach has become a 70,000 strange and strong event...
