Me: Hey JT, I’m trying out one of them Black Rapids brews. JT: Does it induce rapid consumption? Me: My average day induces rapid consumption. The Rideau canal has 52 dams and 45 locks between Ottawa and Kingston.* The Black Rapids Lockstation, pictured on the can I’m...
Recently in Southern California I picked up a 12 pack of Corona Premier at a nearby store. While I normally drink the regular Corona in a bottle with a lime or lemon, I went for the cans this time. I am not sure why I went with the low cal can version either. Maybe I...
You have your friendliest ghost, that would be Casper. Then there is the studly apparition Sam Wheat (Patrick Swayze). Or how about Slimer, a gross ghost, a ghrost? Bettlejuice (Michael Keaton) is certainly in the running for grossest and most spirited spirit. A...

Attending a wedding reception and I have been designated the designated driver, perhaps due to past performances at similar events? So, it’s one and done for me. Meanwhile the Department of Morality is into the rum and colas like Hunter S Thompson on a visit to San...
Cranking up the old BBQ, and poppin’ the top on a Hail Mary from Brimstone Brewing. Naming a beer Hail Mary, is that sacrilege? The last BB brew review was their Sinister Minister, I think these guys at Brimstone are playing with fire. Hold up in an old church, they...
