In the immortal (immoral?) words of JT, “I’m looking for a beer that tastes like beer”. After quaffing a peachy apricot wheat and a bombastic blonde blowout, JT’s fearless philosophizing rings true for me. Enter Grand River and their Czech Pilsner. According to GR,...
Another offering brewed up by the patron Saint of beekeepers everywhere, none other than St. Ambroise. This time the venerated vintner from McAusland out of Montreal has whipped us up an apricot wheat to wet our whistles. When it comes to the drupes, those stoned...
Stopped by Clear Lake for a brewski and a bite. I drop by here every now and then. I wouldn’t call myself a regular, maybe an irregular? * What’s new on tap is my go-to brew, and Beer Farm caught my eye. They tell us the name of the brew is inspired by the place the...
I don’t play favourites, but if I did Sawdust City would be in play. What makes a brewer great, in my humble opinion? Great beer, obviously. The COMDB guide to beer tasting tells us to pick a beer based on a funny name, and SC does that up in sevens and spades....
Me and Knopfler, just two twistin’ fools twisting by the pool. But we’re in no dire straits, just chillin’. * Time for a dip sans chips, so I swim a few widths. After such strenuous physical activity it’s time to hydrate with an adult beverage. Lazy Hazy? Could be...

Annie and Dave shared some sweet dreams with us. Steven and Joe told us to dream on. Michelle and Mama Cass were way down in California dreamin’ up a storm. But it was Dr. Frank-N-Furter who probably best summed it up when he said, “Don’t dream it, be it.” * Early in...
From Farmer Steve’s Nova Scotian pilgrimage we move West to la Belle Province with a Belle Gueule Pilsner from Les Brasseurs RJ out of Montreal. Despite my passing knowledge of the French Language * I am contractually obliged to engage with the sometimes cryptic,...
Editor’s Comment: Farmer Steve is on an East Coast tour with a pit stop in Wolfville, Nova Scotia. Ever devout, he stopped to worship at the local church, only to discover that it was a brewery for heaven’s sakes. FS: Stopped in at The Church Brewery, where beer is...
I’m a patron of the arts. Arts and crafts actually. Gazing at a velvet Elvis while quaffing a craft is both fine and refined in my books. But how is Collective Arts going to do in our 0% experiment? Taking a Collective Arts brew to zero seems to me like taking a...
