Just how refreshing is Brock Street? Some say it is the most refreshing street in Canada, that some being Brock Street Brewery from their downtown Whitby* locale of “Historic Brock Street Est. 1855”. Will this be a refreshing red or a red flag? ...
I’m watching the Blue Jays and quaffing a pint, and the Department of Morality asks what I am up to and I tell her “ I am watching the game and having a Jealous Mistress.” Next thing I know the missus is taking the can away, with a stern look of disapproval at my poor...
India is not a country normally associated with beer but during my visit there earlier this summer, I asked for the "local beer" , I was given a Kingfisher Lager and I was pleasantly surprised. Although the name goes back to 1857, the brand was reinvented by a jet...
My Nephew brought me a new beer from the east coast. I know, I know, what a great family! The name of this brew is "Tiny Dancer" from 2 Crows Brewing and is advertised as a "Hoppy Belgian Table Beer". I have to say that is a promising start and Tiny Dancer * is one of...

Not just easy and not just wicked, its wicked easy dude, because according to Sam Adams easy drinking wasn’t good enough for him. And not Wicked Awesome, but Wicked Easy. And we all know there is no rest for the wicked**, or beer reviewers for that matter. The word...
Angelic** is an apt name for this beer. There is a picture of one on the can and there is more inside the can. There is a surprising hoppiness in the initial sip and it is followed by a great citrus flavour. A smooth finish completes the quaff. This is a great beer...
Time to spin some vinyl on the old turntable, perhaps it’s Van the Man playing Tupelo Honey* while I sample this brew. Or maybe it’s the Beatles covering and adding lyrics to the Herb Alpert classic “A Taste of Honey”?** Or maybe it’s more Beatles with “Honey Pie” or...
On the BBQ deck and this patio is licensed. The grillmaster (to be clear, that’s me) is in need of hydration of the malt and barley variety. An Original Lager from Shawn and Ed might just check that box. After my last poor pour I am taking no chances and drinking...
