On this special Canada Day review we are hoisting Market's lite beer, Let It Fly, up the proverbial flag pole to see who salutes it. In this case Let It Fly is of course referring to our flag, the beloved maple leaf*. You didn't think I would be reviewing a Canadian...
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...

I need to have a word with the CB art director. The can has a picture of a giant astronaut riding a whale. For me this is Surreal,* not sublime. Sublime** would be an astronaut floating through space, tethered of course, with a sky full of stars. Terror would be that...
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,...
