What do you call a gastro brewer that is super busy but seats you in 5 minutes with no reservation (at a table, not the bar), provides great service, has an innovative and tasty menu, and a great list of brewed on the premises taps too? A hidden gem, perhaps. Your go...
Those river rafter crafters from Elora have hopped up their wagon train and headed West to do some coast toasting to the original craft IPAs.* For those of you picturing scantily clad sunbathers and surfer dudes and dudettes catching waves and eyes, with a Beach Boys...
Sleeman is the only brewer that has the Department of Morality’s good housekeeping seal of approval. Yes, the missus comes out of her self proclaimed prohibition once-a-year for the Superbowl when she sips and savours a Sleeman Clear 2.0, full throttle out of the...
I bought this beer at the LCBO for $4.25. Pricey yes, priceless, no. According to MasterCard priceless refers to things that money can’t buy, but for everything else there’s MasterCard.** Of course, the same can be said for Visa or Amex but it can’t be said the same...

Way back in the day, pre-progenies, me and the Missus visited Amster-damn, I swear. You may be thinking of Holland, but you are actually thinking of The Netherlands. Known for their windmills and tulips, wooden shoes, the Cafes that didn’t serve coffee, and red-light...
After before the dawn, now I am reflecting and refracting on a Sun Dog. * Coincidentally another Muskoka based brewer, Canvas has me seeing and drinking double. Although not uncommon, ** sun dogs are a rare and impressive display of multiple suns that no degree of...
When it comes to " before the dawn" no problem. I sampled this dark, dry and mysterious porter about 10 hours before the dawn. If Lake of Bays is implying "just before the dawn" * that's a bit early for me to blow off some froth, the only thing I'm doing then is...
Way back in the day, as kids we used to catch catfish in the cat tails in the swamp under the railroad tracks. Cats in the weeds.* They call a muskie an ugly pike, but if you want to see an ugly fish take a mug shot of a mud cat with those bullhead whiskers moving...
