First off, I am not a pumpkin fan. A vegetable* that is a huge waste of space, good for decorations and killing an hour with the grand kids carving jack-o-lanterns. Roasted seeds the size of your pinkie nail from a great orange bloated sphere of mush. Why would anyone...
On my way back from my East Coast armchair visit to Nova Scotia after being told to Frig Off, but I always know there is a warm welcome waiting in Bathurst, New Brunswick. Robert recommended a Mulligan from our friends at Four Rivers and there is nothing I need more...
East coasting again, out to Dartmouth Nova Scotia this time, despite being told by Nine Locks to Frig Off. Not the East Coast welcome and hospitality I have grown accustomed to, but this brew has big flavour and big attitude so they tells us. In case this term is...
To be honest I am stretching out Oktoberfest* as long as possible because the next theme is Halloween and I hate the taste of pumpkin. The COMDB translation department are of the opposite view, having worked (and booked) substantial overtime, and they have also been...

The COM contingent are at the Clear Lake Brewery during Muskoka Oktoberfest for a bite and a brew and it’s as busy as the opposing goalie on a Leaf’s powerplay*. The CL team are doing a great job. How can you tell when you have a dedicated employee? A visible and...
Farmer Steve is so cheap he’s free, so when I told him the price tag on this special edition I thought he would need a tripel bypass. He settled down considerably when I let him know he wasn’t on the hook for his share, since Lake of the Woods had donated this brew to...
What better way to warm up for Muskoka Oktoberfest than a prosit with a Muskoka Brewery Festbier. I got reminiscing about Oktoberfest back in the day, cheers and beers, a host with the most chanting prost, prosit until you close it. In the immortal words of the Irish...
It turns out a Brut IPA isn't simply a buffed up version of your regular IPA. No, this is a new type of IPA that is gaining popularity - although I'm not sure why. The Brut IPA from Nine Locks is supposed to be "bone dry, lighter in color compared to other IPAs and...
