Not our first Siren call, we have sampled this UK brewer’s Broken Dreams and expressed our super suds appreciation. But this brew is a whole different kettle of fish. Named after an Italian liqueur*, this one is a strange and compelling combination of grapefruit sour...
A dry thirst unction, a pilsner from the Junction. I think that’s the first time I’ve ever used the word unction in a sentence, let alone rhymed it.* A Reader’s Digest “Increase Your Word Power” moment. Another Oilers loss last night, they look like the better team...
After an enjoyable tour of Newfoundland via St.John’s, I’m back out East with a small batch catch from the less possessive St.John, in Canada’s only officially bilingual province!* Une biere s'il vous plait. Viva la difference. No frequent flyer miles this time, it’s...
I knew this US import was trouble from the moment I laid eyes on it. Golden Ale sounds innocent enough, but an ale that’s “spicy and peppery with a gentle hop bouquet” didn’t sound like your run of the mill easy drinking refreshing golden to me. An 8 percenter with...
Out and about for dinner with the missus. Kibitzing with the movers and shakers, saluting the captains of industry at the local yacht club. But the only Thurston* in the house was my powerful thirstin’ for a frosty brewski. I was dry docked so to speak. Appetizer...

Having a dinner with some civil engineers, looks like the menu is jumbo shrimp with a dark lite. Since these oxymorons are all old news. any enthusiasm for them is usually found missing, and all we end up with is intense apathy followed by a deafening silence. Maybe...
Art appreciation time at COMDB. No, I’m not going to treat you to another one of my Hallmark worthy rhymes.* Instead, how about something much more tasteful, a Collective Arts sampling, their Guava Gose no less! I seem to remember a past guava brewski that I thought...
When Daenerys walked out of her husband’s funeral pyre, the weeping widow had no burns of any degree and three baby dragons in tow. She named one of the little lizards after her late husband, Drogon.* That’s right, Drogon the dragon. That red and black flying flaming...
Sampling a Grand River this evening, doing some river drafting. Perhaps the grandest river is the River Styx of Greek mythology, the waterway to the underworld. For most it was their last river rafting adventure. Hercules went down on a labour of love to do some dog...
