Hazy Years Beers, Cheers

Hazy Years Beers, Cheers

I’ve got more hazy years under my hat than I would care to admit, but twenty hazy years sounds like a fairly accurate description of my formal education. Not so, in this case it’s a hazy day IPA. I took a bike ride of the V-twin variety down to the church for a vigil...

Kintsugi with a Kick

Kintsugi with a Kick

It seems to me that Godspeed is pretty serious about what they do and nothing from this brewery is an average day at the races. Case in point, take this super serious stern strong and stately stout. No imaginary friends or electric unicorns gracing this bottle. An...

Cassel Brewery* is nestled in the small town of Casselman in Ontario between Ottawa and Montreal. A bastion of French speaking in Ontario, 79.3% of the population of 3,960 have French as their first language.** The Via rail train station is a focal point of the small...

A Brew with a View

A Brew with a View

When it comes to Niagara Falls, main street has all kinds of cheesy shops and touristy things to do, but when all is said and done the main attraction is still the main attraction, The Falls. Always impressive. It also happens to be a point of National pride that the...

Island Double Time

Island Double Time

I never had any imaginary friends growing up, I guess I was a bit of a loner. But our friends at Flying Monkeys have a whole island full. Imagine that! It reminded me of Tom Hanks and his four year-long one-sided conversation with his old buddy “Wilson”. Poor old...

Long Drive Done, Time for a Cold One

Long Drive Done, Time for a Cold One

After a long drive nothing is better than a chilly cold brewski. Before a long drive…not recommended. During a long drive, illegal and also not recommended. Transporting donkeys* from downtown Montreal to uptown K-town, bending that speed limit to the breaking point....

It’s An Amberée, C’est la Vie

Downtown Montréal, time for a backstreet brasserie bière and repas report. C’est la vie. At 3 Brasseurs to partake in a belle province patio pint. Very quick service, I think it’s the first time I had dinner served before my drink. Much later an IPA comes. That wasn’t...

Smoked but Not Stoked

Smoked but Not Stoked

This lager is smoked and I am stoked for some Canadian football. Roughriders, Alouettes. 3 downs instead of 4, larger field, more men, smaller payroll, fewer fans.* A great quarterback passing school to get into the NFL if you survive the every down blitz.** It seems...

A Pint of Pale in Pink

A Pint of Pale in Pink

Hey Woodhouse, what’s with the pink can? It stands out on the shelf that’s for sure, but is it a standout brew? I seem to recall JT reviewed a pink canned wheat a ways back that didn’t stand the test of taste at the time. But this is a pale ale, and Nordic no less....

Two Putt and Nothing But

Two Putt and Nothing But

By the graphics on the can this seems to be a golf themed brew but I wasn’t familiar with the concept of “two putt” so I had to look it up. It seems that some golfers, I assume professionals, once they get their golf ball on the green, only take two putts to get it in...
