Lager and Lime Make for a Prickly Pair

Lager and Lime Make for a Prickly Pair

Someone should tell the Baronesa if she goes cavorting naked through the cactus grove picking limes she could end up with a prickly pair!* Contessa, Baronesa, Lady Gaga. The titles always confused me, most likely because I am no peer of peerage.**  I did meet a...

Weathering the Storm Quite Nicely

Old Johny Keats could rhyme you right round the bend and back and win that girl for you while he was at it. But what the hell is a KEETS?  Storm Stayed has us in a fog over this one. But when it comes to beer tasting, what’s in the can is more important than what’s on...

Apparently, the length of the lawn is directly proportional to the number of days that I don’t mow it, according to my much better half. So despite the torrid heat, it was lawn mowin’ time again. Mowing the lawn tonight was like taking a walk on the sun….with a...

Bear on the Run

Bear on the Run

The latest small batch beers are great at New Ontario, but I'd recommend sticking with the classics. The Bear Runner Blonde is one of their best beers and I'd definitely recommend it over any other beer.

Godspeed and Good Wishes

Godspeed and Good Wishes

It’s summertime stout season here on the home front, and some thoughtful visitors wished me Godspeed* with a house and heart warming gift of this nitro dry stout from none other than Godspeed Brewery. A greatly appreciated and most appropriate gift for a COM who loves...
