I doubt any filtering agent was used in this beer, very cloudy. Looks like grapefruit juice. Hey wait a minute, it tastes like grapefruit juice too. A little tangy, a little bitter. It’s good, smooth, tasty, I Iike it. I wish being monogamous was as good a quaffing...

Where’s the Beach?

The story on the can is so far fetched that it is probably true.* Don’t drink this one too cold. Tiny effervescent bubbles of coffee infuse deliciousness. Quite bitter but smooth. I couldn’t pick up any coconut in this brew, perhaps the combination of coconut and...

Straight from Carlow County Ireland to my glass. O’Hara’s even gives me quaffing instructions on the can. Chill, Pull, Pour, Pause, Enjoy. The pause is an important part of the experience because these nitro “draft” stouts use what they call widget technology so we...

Crops in the Clouds?

So my old buddy JT (all my friends are old these days) gives me a beer I haven’t tried before. Name of the beer is “Farmer in the Sky”*. What the hell kind of name is that for a beer? A  pilsner dry hopped with Citra. Beer is beer so I have no problem quaffing one...

Walking not Riding

The colder the better I say. Chilled a glass. Chips and dip with it (my recommended food group with a Pilsner, or any beer for that matter). Ok beer. Standard fare. Ok but not A-OK if you know what I mean. Nothing much to write home about, or to write anything about...

When my old buddy Farmer Steve saw this beer he said it must be good since it has a tractor on the can. Well we all know you can’t judge a beer by its cover, so a tasting was in order.  Truth be told  I have chugged-a-lug before, but reviewing by memory seems to be...

After enjoying a Collingwood Freestyle Oktoberfestbier so much ( great beer, kudos Collingwood)  I was looking forward to this one. This was more of a letdown than The Hangover II! Listen to this, “chamomile, lemon and orange peel, coriander”!  Do you know what...

Parry Sound Off

You know where Trestle Brewing Company is located? Parry Sound. You know who else comes from Parry Sound? Of course you do. Number 4 Bobby Orr. Greatest defenseman that ever laced them up. Too bad about that bad knee. After the 76 Canada’s Cup when Orr was limping...

I was happy to try out this dark lager from the Harald Haus (don’t you guys have spellcheck). I chilled a glass, when I go to the dark side I like my beer colder than a stepmother's kiss. Lay’s low salt chips (at my age trying to eat healthy) with ranch dip. So the...

Drunk Beer Naming Party Invite Please

Drunk Beer Naming Party Invite Please

Wag the Wolf. What the hell does that mean? I think sometimes these breweries have drunk beer naming parties. I wish they would invite me to one. I have a couple of choice names in mind. So as for the wolf beer, on the can it says it’s a white IPA. What the hell kind...
