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...
It’s another edition of the Crownsmen Show, and today’s theme was winners and losers. Jerrod had his top 5 worst engineering disasters, and as the Civil Engineers * would say, truss me on this, it was fascinating. Rory spent his time introducing us to a stock that no...
Editor’s Comment : Our Ottawa based connoisseur du crafts, JF, weighs in on this friendly Belgian beauty. Being a bit of old time stubby lover (we are talking about beer here), this one caught my eye. I’ve had a few Belgians in my day, but for sure this was my first...

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...
How about those Blue Jays, first in the major league standings. Not only are they on the ball this year, they’re all over it. Bam Bam Barger’s big bat and Bo Bichette’s daily double. Every now and then a Springer dinger, and then there’s Vlad, who’s not doing half...
