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...
This review started out with some unaccustomed challenges. First I get the hiccups, then I forgot I had them and when I remembered that I had them they were gone. Then I ran out of chips but still had dip. So a trip to the pantry and I find Pringles. What the hell...
The original Stiegl lager. This brew is as Austrian as the Von Trapp family*. So is this lager something to sing about? Brewed according to the Bavarian Purity Laws of 1516 which says only water, barley and hops may be used to brew beer. Starts out with a nice golden...

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...
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...
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.
