Reo Speedwagon told us that if you take it on the run then they don’t want you around.* My guess is if you are on the run then you are already not around, problem solved. This brew is On The Lam, and we aren’t talking mint jelly here. On the lam, as in high tail and...
Not my first peachy pint, in fact, not my first peachy poolside pint. Come to think of it, not my first sneaky pint either. * Lake of Woods warns us, they call this alliterative ale “deliciously delectable and deceivingly drinkable”. They also advise us not to...
What happens when it’s 5 o’clock somewhere and that somewhere just happens to be here? Well, if you’re a COM it’s time for a beer. Not at all coincidentally, about that time I had entered the premises of one Bridgewater Brewing, where the server’s question “will you...
Facebook says you can’t have more than 5000 friends.* Dunbar says your brain can handle around 150 of them. But Dunbar defined a friend as someone “you would not feel embarrassed about joining uninvited for a drink if you happened to bump into them in a bar.” As far...

If I was rooting around in the attic and found some recipes from my great-great-grandfather, they would probably be for moose sausage or venison pie. But not John Sleeman. No, he finds all the Sleeman brewmaster recipes from the 1800’s, coincidentally just 50 years...
John and Paul told us that “it’s getting better all the time, because it can’t get no worse.” * Have you ever noticed that whenever someone says it can’t get any worse, it does? Don’t despair (it doesn’t do much good anyway), there are good people working to make...
Poor little Rousse. Bastard love child of sweet Amber the bar maid and that ne’er do well Irish drifter Red. She was left to her own devices to grow up in the harsh wilderness of the great white North, to suffer the long cold winters of the Boréale.** But grow up she...
