Ok ice fishermen, the jig is up. We know what you’re up to. No one really catches fish through the ice. It’s just an excuse for some quality time apart. One than two brew in the fist rather than having anything to do with that to do list, a list that today won’t exist...
Back in the day I hit the hill a few times in my Levis, but yesterday if I was jean skiing I would have froze my rivets off. But there was an idiot out there on the hill in his shorts, a snow boarder so perhaps that explains it. I figured he was the middle child in a...
I’m a big Gateway City fan. Their beers, the pinball machines, the local references, all very good, usually. I can remember driving by City Bakery* back in the day and the aroma of Aunt May’s fresh baked bread wafting on the wind was something special. So this new GC...
It’s been quite a while since the Raptors had a real buzzer beater.* OG Anunoby’s 2020 Game 3 win over the Celtics was memorable. But the one any “We the North” fan will remember is Kawhi Leonard’s game 7 miracle shot that beat the 76ers and allowed them to move on...

I’m a big Flying Monkeys fan, not the creepy furry flying fury of the West Witch minions variety, but the ever creative, curious and crafty Canadian craft brewers. In my opinion Juicy Ass is the classic modern day IPA, so nice the COM did it twice. So the FM IPA box...
I have no regrets. Sure, there are a few things I’ve done that I wish I hadn’t. And of course, there are some things I didn’t do that I wish I had. Then there are the things I did that I wish I had done differently (usually better). But no regrets.* And I certainly...
Lost Craft aren’t just missing their boat, but there is no gin or dry vermouth in this Martini either. No classy cosmopolitan this one, nor down and dirty, or even a downtown big apple Manhattan project, this is an Espresso nitro don’t you know. For all you...
Tortuga eh. In spite of myself or maybe to spite myself, I called in the COMDB Translation Department on this one. A turtle or tortoise was the terse response.* It seems they were annoyed that I bothered them with such a trivial translation, but I know for a fact they...
