Even beer reviewers get writer’s block. I took a look at this pedestrian pilsner and couldn’t think of anything to write about. The big blue jay on the can could be a segue into the start of the baseball season. Go Jays go, so far so good. Perhaps I should have...
It was another big beaked bird who was known to intone “follow your nose, it always knows”. Toucan Sam had the unique ability to smell Froot Loops from great distances.* However, we all know you can’t believe everything you see on TV, or in the papers, or on social...
Maybe you’re a little green around the gills after a few too many St. Patty’s Day Sláintes. Time for a little hair of the dog that bit you. That’s right, it’s beer me time again, but this dog is no light lager Lassie, what we have here is a 10% leave us reeling...
Pesto pasta, green beans and salad, kiwis for dessert and a bright green adult beverage. Contrary to Kermit’s constant lament, it is easy being green, especially on St. Patrick’s Day. Although it would have been an obvious, perhaps even a cliché, review of a...

The Breakwall boys and girls tell us they are using, and I quote "different hops, malts and yeasts that interest us or happen to wash up on shore." I don't know about you, but I'm not too keen on Lake Erie flotsam and jetsam as ingredients in my beer.* Hopefully they...
I wanted to try this Sapporo Dark Lager imported from Japan but I only buy singles and this one comes in 4 packs. I was commenting (complaining) to the lady behind the counter at The Beer Store about it and she said she wanted to try it too. So I bought a 4 pack and...
Although I rarely have what anyone would call a sunny disposition, this bright yellow Sunsplit in my beer fridge caught my eye. It seemed to be a much more accurate indicator of an early spring than any large hibernating rodent ever was. So here comes the sun, but...
