Brewed in the historic hamlet of Kingston, home of institutions of education and incarceration. Sir John A drank there, and drank, and drank some more. The father of confederation was a regular at the Royal Tavern* in Kingston so we are told. So what is a Mexican...
What the hell kind of name is Bangkok Crosswalk? I don’t know what it has to do with beer but it kind of rolls off the tongue, I like it. They say on the can to “Be deliberate with every step” which I imagine is good advice if you are crossing a busy street in...
Not as blonde as a blonde, not as dark as a lager, a lagered blonde perhaps? Correct. This isn’t Henderson’s best. In fact Henderson’s Best is Henderson’s best, or Henderson’s best is Henderson’s Best. No matter how you say it Henderson’s Best Amber Lager is pretty...
Beer with purpose. It’s not “pay it forward”, its’ “Drink It Forward”. Socially driven capitalism. They say ,and I believe them, that $.50 from every beer purchased goes to worthwhile charities.* Which led Farmer Steve to wonder “is this still a profit making deal.”...
Red Stripe’s namesake beer is an iconic pale amber and a staple diet of Canadians holidaying in Jamaica. I must admit I was wondering what a Jamaican brewer is doing brewing a stout. I didn’t picture myself quaffing a strong stout on the beach or on a “chilly” 75⁰ F*...

Boshkung say their beers are focused on cottage living. This one will be quaffed by the cottage fireplace as opposed to the dock. This small batch lager offering poured golden, closing in on amber but not quite there, and clear with a thin light white head. Malt...
Audio visual lager?? I am not going to a film festival for musicals, I just wanted a brew to enjoy during the game. Scan a bar code to check out new music? A bar code for me is the draft menu at the local pub. Doesn’t it all just seem to be some marketing ploy to...
Brilliant golden colour. Nickel Brook has newly branded their Cause & Effect, it is now steady. Solid, sturdy, sound, secure suds. Let’s just call it steady. Here is an example of cause and effect in an everyday sentence. I drink a good beer that I like (cause)...
Some pretty fancy art work on the can, almost as good as the full moon over the barn with a tractor on the Beau’s Night Märzen. On the can it says the artist is from Singapore. I guess there are no struggling artists in Canada that could use a little exposure? Not a...
