Did you know that Belgium can do more than waffles and chocolate and claim to be where Dr. Evil *was raised? I didn’t, but apparently there are over 1200 types of beer brewed in the country which equates to a different type of beer for every 25.57 square kilometers of...
The Department of Morality (the missus) hands me a couple packages of steak for the BBQ. I look at the price and ask her if she really wants me to sear these suckers, she usually doesn’t trust me with such a prime cut. She tells me she is busy and I have to. How would...

Calgary, home of big rigs and big hats and big rodeos and of course Big Rock Brewery and their Plzen Pilsner. Many years ago I tried a Big Rock Honey Brown Amber which may have been the start of my love affair with Amber. You always remember your first. So how does...
My daughter-in-law was visiting and is going gluten free (are blueberry muffins gluten free?) and being a good host I made a gluten free addition to the beer fridge. From the fabled town of Glutenberg, capital of the Free State of Gluten, comes this Glutenberg...
