The great thing about having so many different craft breweries is the fantastic variety and availability of beer varieties across the country. The down side is that when you have a lot of brewers trying to make a distinctive brew, some of them are bound to be not so...
Barley Days is a brewer in Prince Edward County that was into craft beer making long before most ... they've been at it since 2007 ... but they are still keeping things fresh and bringing new beers to market. I haven't tried a new one from them in a while and thought...
Panache, sounds foreign to me. The COMDB translation department were already on the case. Once they finished their 24 they got right into translating this beer’s name. Of course “panache” is an English word too, meaning flamboyant confidence of style or manner....
At the cottage, hoisting one, and the missus says she didn’t realize R&R meant “reviews and rants”, I guess what we have here is a failure to communicate*. Not the first and won't be the last. Interestingly enough, they are all my fault. This one is too late to...
Summertime*, and the livin’ is easy, and this Golden Beach pale ale from Sawdust City is all about summertime. They say they “have tried their darndest to put the best of summer into each can.” Well gosh darn I hope it tastes as good as they say. It pours as yellow as...
Today’s BBQ and beer is fire and Brimstone, Niagara based Brimstone Brewing and their Sinister Minister that is. Looks like it’s the saved that’s needin’ the savin’ this time*. If you want to tell me how great a frosty cold IPA is on a hot summer day slaving over the...
it’s quittin’ time *. I have vivid memories of the Slate Quarry supervisor pulling the tail of some pre-historic parrot, and Fred Flintstone yelling yabba dabba doo* and sliding down the tail of his quarry crane dinosaur and hot footing his way home. I don’t think...
Normally an ale, this blonde is lagered and Henderson is not calling it an ale. I had someone try to explain the variation that would make for a lagered Blonde - but I started getting cranky and couldn't follow the explanation. I guess that's why I drink and review...
The roman candle* of fireworks fame, a cascade of awe inspiring balls of fire and flame shooting into the air. Sounds like a Kiss concert**. Fireworks have been used for many years to celebrate, and also to represent sex in old movies. How about Jerry Lee Lewis***...
It looks like a hazy day on the farm. And we all know what follows a hot hazy day. A thirsty night, of course. It would seem to me that a juicy IPA might be just the row to hoe when it comes to partaking in a pint after such a day on the farm, or elsewhere for that...
