Congratulations to Gateway City on their new digs. A larger purview to brew, additional spaces for cases, and lots of runway for landing flights. Here’s hoping the pinball machines survived the move intact with tilts kept to a minimum. And what better way to toast the...
Small guns and big suspicions. A dangerous combination. Another dangerous combination in my books is high ABV and a stout. Dark, dangerous and complex, and almost the highest ABV we have sampled, this Collective Arts Imperial stout has someone peeling me a grape* with...
Regina is not normally high on most folks lists of places to visit. I guess that's why the city came up with their surprising tourism campaign with the tag line "Show us your Regina." * You don't need a Cranky Old Man around to read the double meaning on that one. My...
You would think opening a brewery in a building right beside a Catholic high school and an Elementary school might be of some concern for parents. A protest, some PTA lobbying, political pressure, a field day for the press, fueled by a public outcry, perhaps? Nope,...
No Treasure Island theme here, the pirate on the can, and The Haze of the Dead are part of the Deadhead Series of brews. A deadhead may mean a few things,* but in this case Desthil is referring to fervent, fixated and fanatic fans of the 60’s group The Grateful...

Around our house the queen of crafts is definitely the missus, she can knit a quilt like nobody’s business. Me, I can barely knit my brow. I may not be royalty at home or abroad, but I know a thing or two about craft brews. Wellington tell us they are celebrating 10...
Plan A is history. Toast. The inedible kind that is too burnt to rescue with peanut butter. The Leafs are on their way to the links, licking their wounds and practicing their putts and pitches. Plan B is now the new Plan A, but the Oilers are on the brink of...
Tossin’ the old ball around with my grandson, he can swat a gramps flutterball like gangbusters. In baseball vernacular, a flutterball is another name for a knuckle ball, a pitch with a mind of it’s own and no clear trajectory. A good one can baffle the most...
Plan A is still intact, the Leafs won last night so they have a chance. Their chances are slim and none and Slim is packing his bags and bought a bus ticket but he hasn’t left town yet. And we all know, where there’s beer, there’s hope. Plan B is holding together...
