In school we all contributed equally to the grocery bill, with one exception. When it came to Peanut Butter apparently my consumption far outweighed my contribution * so for me it was BYOPB. Even today my go to comfort food is a peanut butter and grape jelly sandwich....
Not the catchiest name I’ve seen for a beer. Certainly not up there with Juicy Ass or Sneaky Weasel (30% sneakier) that’s for sure. But the name appears to be the yeast of our worries. Time to break it down. Niagara College Teaching Brewery (NCTB) brewed a beer for...
These days when I hit the hill it’s Pray Ski before, and Après Ski after. Typically, my après ski of choice these days is a tube of A535. After the aches subside a bit, I head to the beer fridge for an après ski brews-ski. And after a downhill day more taxing than the...
Happy Valentine’s Day to one and all. I hope your partner in crime until the end of time, is as marvellous as mine. What a rhyme, is that Hallmark on the line? * That little rhyme segued into my Rorschach rant of the day. Why on God’s green earth, or what’s left of...
Good ol’ Stephen Leacock writes a couple of books making fun of Orillia and they erect a museum in his honour!* But poor ol’ Charlie Farquharson does a three-sentence bit on Parry Sound and gets banned from appearing in town? ** What’s that all about? Trestle Brewing...

Outcast, pariah, anti-hero, the black sheep. In our books the black sheep of brewing could well be the Black IPA. You have to wonder why? Why would someone brew one? I love me a toasty roasty cocoa coffee stout, and a nice hoppy IPA is a juicy joy to behold ….. but...
Vimy Brewing is dedicated to brewing “true Canadian beer that celebrates everything great about Canada”. I’ll drink to that! * The brewery is named after the World War 1 battle site of Vimy Ridge where Canadian forces achieved a decisive victory, but at a high cost....
A vintage match to light the fire? A union walkout at a gemstone mine? Or a red-headed centre for a soccer team? We aren’t quite sure what a ruby striker is, or does, but when it comes to this Collective Arts limited release (IPA No.32) Double with grapefruit it...
JT: Coming back from Costa Rica to freezing cold and Dry February is quite an adjustment. Me: I can handle the cold. Once again, I didn’t get the Dry February memo. It appears that Farmer Steve didn’t receive it either. If RA got it, I’m sure it went straight into the...
