It’s not so sober October and the dark brews have hit the shelves. Dark days are here again! After sampling (and enjoying) a Newfoundland German Light Lager, how about a Muskoka Czech Dark Lager. Both lagers, but as different as day and night. It’s one of my favourite...
It sure is a long trek to Newfoundland but well worth it, as we can see from the COMDB brew tour of the rock. But the tour doesn’t have to end when we leave the island. As long as we have some NL brews in the ol’ beer fridge we can armchair tour the rock, no time...
At the head of the Rideau Canal, on the West end of the Upper Rideau, is the aptly named village of Westport. Driving down Main Street and I see the Westport Brewing Co. so by reflex I stop and drop in to do some suds shopping. The place is packed at lunch time, they...
Not nearly as courageous or important as the Operation Husky of 1943,* my operation husky consisted of popping the top on this Rusty Husky, then pouring and scoring. I will add that my operation husky was not nearly as successful as the 1943 version either. I shall...
The old man’s favourite TV show was Gunsmoke, starring James Arness as Matt Dillon. But if he wanted a change of pace from a western he would watch Bonanza.* The trials and tribulations of the trice widowed Ben Cartwright and his three sons (each from a different...
On the Vegas strip and it’s as hot as a walk on the sun. Time to blow off some froth and chill with a cool craft. Beer Park sounded like a sun stroke sanctuary,* a place that might have what I’m looking for. After climbing up a set of stairs with a handrail too hot...
Black Heart stout was released last year with an advertising campaign blatantly challenging hardcore Guinness drinkers to compare the two stouts “head to head” so to speak. BrewDog and their cofounder James Watt have never shied away from a fight or the spotlight, but...
This review is going to be more confused than usual so listen up. I’m in Vegas and always looking local, so I see a pilsner on the menu, Golden Nites from Henderson Nevada based Lovelady, and it gets me reminiscing romantic so I order one. What comes to me is a crazy...
180 taps! And we aren’t talking about a Fred Astaire Gene Kelly movie.* We’re talking about Vegas, and the Yard House and enough craft beers to put a shiver down my liver. “The largest selection of craft beers on tap in the world!” It’s going to be a long night. But...
If you are thinking of the attractive member of the Black Eyed Peas, or the Duchess of York, or the Montreal Canadiens enforcer in the 60’s, then you are thinking of Fergie.* If you are thinking of the Rocky mountains, skiing and the birth place of Alex Lifeson,** now...
