Stella, Stella. Was Stanley Kowalski ( Marlon Brando) making an impassioned plea to win his wife back, * or did he just have a powerful thirst for a frosty brewskie? We would expect the former but you never know. The star of Artois. Artois is a region in Northern...
At the casino in town which is the local hangout for cranky old men and women intent on losing their kid's inheritance. I actually think there was a counter there for cashing RRSPs. To give you an idea how old the crowd was I felt young there. So I am sampling a...
COMDB have had mixed results with the Collingwood Freestyle Series. Oktoberfiest is an excellent amber, Charm and Wit was neither charming nor witty. Their Double Chocolate Milkshake Porter was rated highly by RA, who no one would describe as sweet, but he definitely...
Well sign me up for the mission to Mars if this constitutes rations in space. It is very hoppy which is to my taste. Labelled as a West Coast IP Kviek - which is the type of yeast they used. Personally, I think it sounds more like the name of some of the equipment...
When I saw the name Chicken Man I immediately thought of Colonel Sanders*. However, the legend of the Chicken Man according to Furnace Brewery is of a Georgetown Ontario resident who used to ride around on his bike (looks like an Amsterdam 3 Speed to me) with his...
When I saw the name Big Rig I was immediately reminded of the Stompin’ Tom song Margo’s Cargo. “Margo’s got the cargo b’y, And Reggie’s got the rig.”* Margo’s cargo was a cow, a pig and a truck load of dung. This Big Rig is hauling not just any pilsner but a premium...
The hopster on the can seems to be a bit of a hop head. I always thought the term hop head referred to a drug addict, but put into context a more modern definition could also be a beer enthusiast. Let’s stick with the later definition for this review. A nice golden...
If I could recycle a beer from a bunch of oranges, limes and bread I think I would have the recipe down pat for this weird tasting beer. That being said, it is dry and refreshing but there is just too much non- beer flavour in it for me. If you're adventurous enough...
Tennessee Ernie Ford told us that he loaded 16 tons* of number nine coal and the straw boss said, "Well, a-bless my soul". Tonight I am loading up 16 oz of Black Coal, and I’m another day older and deeper in debt. This stout pours black on black, coal black, black...
This is a surprising flavourful beer for a Session Ale. Not really sure how they managed to get 45 IBU with the relatively low alcohol - but it is very good. I guess the pig is part of the local fair? The brewery trademark has a tractor driven by a pig as well - so...
