The Dark Side

The Dark Side

Another faux internationale beer. “Dark, rich and complex.” Sounds like a character from a romance novel, not that I read those kind of things. So another trip to the dark side. This beer is very dark. How dark? Blackhole dark, like the whole universe is residing in...

Unimpressed

Unimpressed

World acclaimed Asian lager. Award winner in Singapore, London, Paris, Ho Chi Minh City, and a host of other impressive cities around the world. In the immortal and grammatically incorrect words of Shania Twain, “that don't impress me much.” Lots of bluster on the...

Zing of the Dinosaurs

Zing of the Dinosaurs

Cameron relates their strong IPA to the king of the dinosaurs, a huge presence that refuses to be ignored. I think that a T-Rex, with those short arms, would not be too great at telling big fish stories. None of the other dinosaurs would be too impressed with the one...

Things vanilla is great in. Cake, sugar cream pie, tea, ice cream, donuts, air fresheners and yoghurt. Things vanilla is not great in. My beer. Granville Island is a great place to visit in Vancouver. Take a water taxi across False Creek and visit the shops. The...

Where There is Beer There is Hope

Where There is Beer There is Hope

The might Leafs against the odious Oilers and nothing less than the division lead on the line. Despite TO pegging the first goal, the next three belong to Conman McDavid and his gang and the boys in blue and white find themselves behind 3 to 1 by the end of the...

Trying too Hard?

Guinness, the iconic Irish beer, brewed in …..Baltimore? Baltimore? The famous US beer brewing city of Baltimore (note the sarcasm). What the hell is Baltimore doing brewing a Guinness. Baltimore is known for …..I don’t even know what Baltimore is known for, but I...
