Something in the Water got the name for this beer from Hulvey’s song “Poor Party”. Hulvey tells us that “all my life I wanted to be rich” but The Beatles warned us that no matter how rich you are you can’t buy love. Halsey (no relation to Hulvey) laments that if she...
From a lone wolf on the oil soaked foothills of Edmonton, to a very berry tarty party on the Gaspesiénne coast of Québec. My comfy recliner in front of the big screen is getting some air miles tonight. We are back in la Belle Province with another Frontibus in front...

I love me an amber. But will I love me Amber's amber? An Amber Brewery Original Toronto Amber Lager graces my glass and expectations are as high as a CN Tower EdgeWalk.* Despite the typical big city drawbacks I'm a big fan of the little apple. The concerts, the...
