Called for Icing

Called for Icing

I had saved this Gretzky beer for a Saturday night hockey game but that is not how it turned out.  What is the definition of apathy? A Leafs fan watching an Ottawa Montreal game. So after one period of that sad performance it was on to March Maaaaaadness in April. The...

Honey of a Beer

Honey of a Beer

When I was a kid my parents let us have pop and chips once a week, on Saturday night because it was hockey night in Canada. Today I can have an adult beverage of choice, and chips, whenever I want (with the wife’s permission of course), so on Saturday night with the...

Watching the basketball game and quaffing a cold one. I will tell you one thing about those Toronto Raptors, they are consistently inconsistent. Blow out the competition one game, get beat at the buzzer the next, who knows what Raptors team will show up. But its NBA...

On the way to dinner with the family and the grandkids are bickering back and forth. They were driving me to drink and it wasn't a long drive*. We get to the restaurant and I ask the waiter what's local on draft and he says Wiseacre**, which immediately reminds of the...

Another American Amber

Another American Amber

Out for dinner with the missus in the most powerful nation in the world. She orders up some strawberry melon mango mohito concoction,  while I check out the draft menu.  How about an American Amber Ale from the Voodoo Ranger gang at New Belgium*.  A Fat Tire on tap...

Good Find

Founders out of Grand Rapids Michigan is inviting me to drink all day. These days I am not sure I could drink all day without dire consequences, both to my health and my marriage. That being said, if I could I would certainly consider their All Day IPA to stock the...
