A Story to Share

On the can they suggest sharing one. This beer is so bland* I don't want to share it, I want to give it away.  To be fair, if it was a hot summer day and I bought a six pack I would drink one and share the rest with unwanted guests**. R.A.

This Buds for me

This Buds for me

Poolside and the selection of brews is minimal,  so this buds for me. In an aluminum bottle that looks like a thermos or artillery ammo. I guess they don't want any broken glass for tenderfoots to tread on, fair enough. At least it will keep the quaff cold on a...

Young -ling?

Visiting our neighbor to the south so I thought it would be neighborly to sample one of their fine brews. But not just any beer. How about one brewed at the oldest brewery in America,  Yuengling  from Pottsville Pennsylvania.  Founded in 1829. Seems like a babe in the...

Jekyll and Hyde

I met Gretzky once. Many years ago, he was coaching the Coyotes and we were invited to meet him and watch him line up the team. He was quiet spoken, not a fire and brimstone coach, and when he spoke to those players you could hear a pin drop, he garnered respect. His...

Heady & Hazy Magic

When I saw the name Everyday Magic it reminded me of one of the popular shows from the 60’s, Bewitched. You have this beautiful witch with all kinds of magical powers, and her bozo husband who doesn’t want her to use them. What’s that all about? If that was me I would...

This Budvars* for You

They tell us over 700 years of brewing tradition has gone into this lager, and that “many connoisseurs find it to be one of the finest lagers in the world”. Big talk, time to back that up with a quaff. Nice golden pour, quite clear, the only haze is a bit of...

Franks or Burgers?

This brew is Mill Street heralding Hogtown’s home town heroes. A Blue Wave for the Blue Jays, World Series back to back champs 1992 and 1993, seems like only yesterday.* Maybe this year they can return to their former glory? I had a pre-season game on the tube so...

Blimey

You know how refreshing a Corona is on a hot summer day. With a small slice of lime to fight off scurvy. Well imagine if some how you could squeeze a whole lime down that skinny ass bottleneck, and on the way down that lime was so squeezed that every single drop of...

An Oktoberfiester Chicken Dinner!

An Oktoberfiester Chicken Dinner!

Winner winner, chicken dinner. This Oktoberfest from Collingwood special is my favourite beer of the week! On the can it says strong beer at 5.8% but it isn’t benching 250 if you know what I mean, it goes down smooth. Back in the day a stubby Brador at 6.2% was the...

Great name. I had one watching Sunday night football.  This American Pale Ale was OK, crisp, maybe a bit too crisp but I expect that is driven more by the fruit than the hops. I assume you grow accustom to  that after 3 or 4. I have one Noon left in the fridge, saving...
