Naughty or Not?

Naughty or Not?

There is a naughty otter at my cottage that shits on my dock. The missus thinks otters are cute, playful, endearing scamps, but to me it’s just one more crap on the dock rodent. This brew hales from the celebrated border town of Gananoque Ontario, with more islands...

Green Grass and High Times*

Green Grass and High Times*

A THC based beverage, what will they come up with next?. I guess this is for those who learned to rock but couldn't roll? Well to be blunt its about high time they made a drink like this. Maybe they should have called it a grasshopper, or a highball. Soon to be...

Auric Amber

Auric Amber

After a few exotic tastings of peppermint and vanilla it was a highly anticipated and welcome return to an amber. We all know that absence makes the heart grow fonder*, so I was looking forward to this Full Beard amber ale, and I was not disappointed! A nice amber...

How Sweet It Is, Literally

How Sweet It Is, Literally

White stout, what will they think of next? Brewed without roasted malts, but with lots of coffee, vanilla and lactose. You won’t be surprised to hear this is not your typical stout. First of all I had to figure out what the name of the beer is. Bold  text on the front...

99 Amber Ale

99 Amber Ale

A double hopped amber ale. Every can supports the Wayne Gretzky Foundation. I would think that Gretzky had made enough money with all his product placements and investments that there was no need for a charity to support him but these pro athletes tend to live the...

Easy Amber

Easy Amber

I love a good Amber and this offering from Perth Brewery is decent. But before we talk about the beer I have a bone to pick with the label. The beer is called Easy Amber. This is fine, a decent Amber should be easy drinking. But the picture on the label is a different...

Rush

Rush

I remember when Rush put out their first album in 74. “In the Mood” was on the radio, a pretty predictable rock song but with a catchy riff. We went to see them in concert in 75. Smoky stadium, terrible acoustics. The band sucked. Their equipment echoed and...

Lost in Orbit

Lost in Orbit

Hitting the space bar again* after a bad experience with a zero gravity beer that garnered a close to zero rating. It was nice to check out Lost in Orbit, which was actually a little more down to earth. This hazy IPA had a fruitful aroma with a bit of bubble to it,...

Mad Tom

Mad 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...

Champagne Beer

Champagne Beer

I am not a fan of using the name Champagne to refer to beer. If I wanted Champagne, I’m not looking at a can from Nine Locks Brewing for Christ's sake. Maybe they named it after looking at the beer in the glass – it does have a colour that resembles Champagne. But...
