Expect the Unexpected

Expect the Unexpected

Foxy, shifty, wily, crafty and now 30% sneakier! Sneaky weasel sounds a bit redundant doesn’t it? I mean weasels in general are known for being sneaky. Maybe this should be called Sneakier Weasel which would align well the claim of an additional 30% of sneakiness in...

Brave and Reckless?

Brave and Reckless?

A naughty neighbor for me is the guy up the street who lets his dog crap on my yard but doesn’t stoop and scoop.  But I guess NB’s reference here is to the most powerful nation in the world, yes it is the good ol’ USA*. I am not sure what the USA did to get the...

Glad Tom

Glad Tom

Just like the fly on the toilet seat, he’s getting pissed off. What is Tom so mad about anyway? Or is he crazy mad as opposed to angry mad? Hiking through the Rockies with a keg of beer on his back and a map and a fish in his hat, he could be either or both. A...

Liquid black forest cake like taste. Somewhat watery and flat, A slightly bitter finish but not distasteful. If it came only in a six-pack I wouldn’t buy it. Tonight after this beer it is time to switch to red wine.

Lifeboats Designed for Ten?

The Titanic and the Edmund Fitzgerald. Two nautical disasters for the passengers and the crew, but James Cameron and Gordon Lightfoot did OK by them. Then there was the HSS Minnow, a ship wreck where everyone survived but by the end of the third season we all wished...

This Blonde is no Joke

I remember as a kid bailing out the old cedar strip fishing boat every morning, is the beer name a reference to this? Or does bailout mean parachuting from a plummeting plane?** Or is there a connection between the firefighting apparatus on the can, Capt.25, and...

Foam Fest Fiasco

Where to begin? When I saw the name Goodbye Gravity I was immediately intrigued. But it is not a reference to the impact this beer will have on you, but rather a tribute to Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield who hails from Sarnia, where the brewery is based. Hadfield...

O Canada

O Canada

As the boys from ACDC would say, “I’m back in black”. While autumn gives way to winter, as it so often does, I thought it was time to sample a stout. But not just any stout. How about a 100% Canadian Stout. We all know the world needs a little more Canada. A stubby...
