Marketing is so easy. You put up a picture of a pretty girl and you've instantly got the attention of a bunch of guys. It isn't exactly innovative, but it works. I tried this West Coast Pale Ale from Barley Days and it is really good. I can't say whether they...
Let’s step into Mr. Peabody’s WABAC* (Wayback) machine and go back to a time when people like the dude on the beer can were listening to tunes on their IPods. Wait a minute, I’m still listening to tunes on my IPod. That’s not going back. How about when we were kids...
I was having lunch with the Province’s top beer expert (really) and I was complaining about sours, having had a “memorable for the wrong reason” encounter with one of the cranberry variety. He told me not to give up on them, and there were lots of great sours and...
Dysfunctional Mall? You’re saying to yourself “What the hell kind of name is that for a beer, or anything for that matter”. Well let me clear that up for you. If you had ever driven through North Bay (home of Gateway) on the Trans-Canada highway back in the day it was...

Bottom of the 9th and my Starter wasn’t available so I had to go to the Bench and bring in my pinch bitter, Shorty Hills*. Will this be a hit or will Shorty be another Casey at the bat and come up short**? The Bench Brewing slogan is “the beer from wine country”. For...
4:33* Black IPA, is this The Imitation Game or a beer tasting? If I get the Wordle in 3 I feel like I have won the war, but I would rather be cracking a cold one than cracking a code. This isn’t the first Black IPA I have quaffed so I am not a stranger in a strange...
Brock Street brewers, you know, the brewery with the audacious claim of being the most refreshing street in Canada. One can only hope. And another Premium Pilsner, it seems like there are more premium brews than Dodds has pills. Makes you wonder which pilsner is the...
