Chips and dips and hockey night in Canada takes me back to grade schooldays, but instead of a cola I have in hand an adult beverage of my choice. Tonight, it happens to be a crisp pil to go with my crisp chips. If you have the means I would strongly suggest acquiring...
For you hockey fans of a certain vintage you may be thinking of Bobby Clarke when it comes to a solid hack, but it appears that Gateway is continuing their curling theme following their “On the Button” Amber Lager. For those unacquainted with the art and science of...
Our culture seems to love bad robots as much as good ones. The “Star Wars” robots were heroes. Governor Schwarzenegger was a bad robot in” Terminator” but comes back (he told us he would be back) as a good robot in “Terminator 2: Judgement Day”. In the original “Lost...
Amber Amour yes, Hazel Amour™, we shall see. Whitewater have brewed this in collaboration with BeaverTails®, those being the pastry variety rather than the large rodent slapping the water to warn others of danger variety. If you aren’t familiar with the iconic...

Will this brew render a “Great Scott!* (an expression of wonder and impressiveness) or Great Scott? (an expression of shock and disgust). Old Dog brewers are hoping that this Scottie will be my new best friend. Hmmm. We shall see. A nice hazy caramel toffee like pour...
How about a fireside hazy IPA for expanding my horizons. Truth be told (as it always is in these reviews) I like to have a stout or porter by the fire because it makes for a nice picture. And I do like to have a hazy laissez faire* IPA on a dog day afternoon by the...
I heard about this hotel that hands you a beer with your room key, so of course I had to check in to it. And sure enough I was handed a nice chilly bottle of Dos Equis Especial Lager por favor and mucho gracias. Brewed since 1897 from the Montezuma Brewery*. They even...
