Cannonball Run

Cannonball Run

“More refreshing than a cannonball off the cottage dock” the can says. At this time of year if I did a cannonball off the cottage dock they better have a defibrillator handy for when my cranky old heart stops due to the sudden full body freeze. But I know what they...

What is a hybrid human/alligator doing log rolling (perhaps he is a logger/ lager) on a Northern Ontario Lake? Where does the woodchuck come in? Is he off somewhere chucking wood or did the alligator eat him? What the hell is a triticale? I think need a PhD in...

Frisky Peat

I gave this beer every chance for success. Chilled glass, salty snack, big game on the tube. Parked myself in my comfy tasting/ sports viewing chair. Nice golden pour, nice foam head. They call it a strong beer at 5.6, but only just. Unfortunately, despite all the...

Be the Last One In

I am not sure why these brewers want us to ditch our swim suits and jump in the water naked in front of our friends, neighbours, and all the readily available cell phones that can quickly upload videos and pics to the 2.89 billion people active on Facebook (36.5% of...

Farewell Tour?

Farewell Tour?

Reunion Tour? Dank and dark. They say this beer is brewed for die-hard rockers that are walking on stage for one last show. Sounds like a farewell tour, I think Cher did a few of those. I doubt that The Fugees will be quaffing down this dank and dark IPA after their...

Nope, Not Today

Nope, Not Today

Not today, no not today. Or any day for that matter. First of all a light IPA sounds like an oxymoron. Where is the IPA bite, the snap, the crisp? Or as my old buddy Rick would say, the Zing. My recipe for how to make an Any Day at home; one cup traditional IPA with...

Thornbury Salmon?

Thornbury Salmon?

I love Amber. A great beer, a great name, an adjective, a noun, an alert, a traffic light colour. Got to love Amber. I mean blue is an adjective in terms of both colour and mood, and I guess it’s a beer too, but you won’t meet many named blue unless you know Jay Z and...

Surreal?

A Lil’ IPA? A lil' lighter, a lil' crisper, a lil’ short on letters maybe? And what the hell kind of name is Gnarnia? Never heard of such a thing. And after conserving letters on lil’ now with a silent G they waste one on Gnarnia? I had to look it up. A slang...
