A fruit too far

A fruit too far

This beer has been in my fridge about twice as long as most beers last in there. I can't say that the pink can with watermelon seeds sprinkled on it is a particularly attractive look for a beer. But this is Mill St. Brewery who has been in this business for a long...

Smith Falls* Ontario. South of Highway 7. The third degree is what I get from the Morality Department (the missus) after a weekend at JT’s cottage, but I am guessing the brewery name Four Degrees is about the four owners all graduating from university and using their...

I doubt that beer, even really good beer, has ever played a prominent role in sustaining a long term marriage. More likely the opposite is true. So what is a brewer going to tell me about being hitched*. I’ve been at it for almost 40 years and I’ll be damned if I can...

Having not been to Benihanas recently my Japanese was a little rusty, so I couldn’t recall what Jutsu meant and had to look it up. According to the Wiktionary it is “a bound morpheme of the Sino-Japanese lexical stratum of the Japanese language.” What the hell does...

This One is Gold

A perfectly poured pint perhaps?  A pretty pour for sure. I need a longer arm to give myself a proper pat on the back for that pour. It’s beer-eautiful. This Big Rig Gold has a malt bread aroma, you can tell there is flavour galore waiting at the door. This is a...

Had to rinse off after cracking this one*, but before pouring it of course. Good carbonation that’s for sure. They must have gone deep into the pith of the lemon lime fake flavour because its more bitter than I thought it would be. Full of taste but not distasteful....

Hot sunny afternoon, BBQ is fired up, a brew is in a chilled glass and tunes are on the deck. It's griller time. My BBQ deck is the one place in the world where I am king, the last bastion of cranky old men drinking beer everywhere. Unless of course it's a very...

I have been following this brewery from its humble beginnings when they were located in a small corner building that used to be a car rental agency (that old location is now a cannabis store along with the 999 others in the city), to their beautiful  brewery pub,...

The Beach Ball Program™

Sharks on the beach?* Black Bellows is another fine Collingwood based crafter. Collingwood is known for its snow skiing but also has lots of rock beaches, and a major sand beach, that being Wasaga. So we have a land shark with a build like a young Arnold as Conan (the...
