Boathouse brews, V-Twin rides and pints by the pool. As Bon Jovi would say, it feels something like summertime. * And it’s about time. I hear some people say “summer is nice but fall is my favourite time of the year”. Or others that say “summer is just too hot, give...
Montréal based McAuslan provides their take on the West Coast IPA in this St. Ambroise high ABV high IBU high flying bière du jour. We are quite familiar with the patron Saint of beekeepers, having sampled a number of his fine beers. * But will this Eastern take on...
Ever the contrarian, I was doing some daytime drinking with a Nocturne. Out for dinner with my wife for life and when I saw AquaNova on the menu, a Vienna Lager no less, I said yes, please. I ran into Brewmaster KC at the OCBA conference and since then I’ve been...
Jackson Browne and Glenn Frey wrote the song Take it Easy. * It wasn’t until Jackson Browne heard it on the radio that he realized The Eagles had recorded it. The 1972 release was the first of many hit singles for The Eagles, but I like the Jackson Browne version...

I wouldn’t call myself a sommelier of the sour, but just like Sergio I’ve contemplated the good, the bad and the ugly and captured them for posterity. * And it’s not my first POG either, the classic Passion Fruit, Orange and Guava fruit salad of a sour. ** I’m...
We had previously examined the pros and cons of van life, for those that want to leave bricks and mortar behind for the freewheelin’ freedom that a van provides. However, many of us have commitment issues and years in a claustrophobic camper may not be our cup of tea....
There was the talented Arnold Ziffel from Hooterville. The diva in waiting Miss Piggy was known to hog the spotlight on occasion. Wilbur’s biggest fan was a spider, and then there was the precocious pint-sized Piglet, Pooh’s pal. And we all miss Clark the pig, who was...
