You don’t call it a grand canyon, you call it The grand canyon. You don’t call it an Eiffel Tower, it’s The Eiffel tower. And you don’t call Niagara Falls just another Falls, it’s The Falls. Where is this awkward and overbearing segue heading? Well, Niagara based...
I think I know what a stone fruit * is but what the hell is a kickflip?** Peach tends to be my stone fruit of choice, as for kickflips, this NEIPA from Clear Lake is my kickflip of choice, seeing as I am not sure what one is so this is the only one I am familiar with....
Great Lakes claims that this brew is “the orange juice or beer with breakfast answer”. I am not much of a breakfast drinker myself although ol’ Kris Kristofferson tells us “the beer I had for breakfast wasn’t bad, so I had one more for dessert.”*. GL also suggests it...
Recovering from the extreme Christmas day gift giving associated with grandchildren by a boxing day outing. The kids are already bored with their Pokémons and Squishables and Teckdecks and Hatchimals and crafts and all the other toys from the mountain of gifts under...

A beer of the night selection by Bud, the Elf on the beer fridge shelf, and no wonder, it’s triple chocolate. Not just triple chocolate, it’s 3 Triple Chocolate. Not sure if Farmer Steve is a chocolate lover but at 10% ABV it’s two beers in one, so he may appreciate...
Wicked good* or wicked evil? If you were described on Santa’s list as wicked you would be expecting the old “coal” shoulder from St. Nick. But these days you can’t be too sure what even the most obvious adjectives really mean. Sawdust City tells us that this beer is...
Sampling a baseball inspired brew in December seems to be an idea right out of left field.* Left Field Brewery that is and their short and sweet* mocha marshmallow stout offering. I pulled out the old ball glove for this review’s “head” shot. Then I got thinking about...
