Combine the bitter love child of a lemon and an orange with the most eclectic brewer out there and what do you get? Godpeed’s Yuzu Citrus Saison, that’s what. Yuzu, yeast and a clove or two and voila, a beer for all saisons, a befuddled and baffling brewski for sure....
After some down and dirty double trouble at 8.2% it was time to lighten things up with a 3.8% Local Light from Blackburn. A wise man once said “It is better to pour a light than to curse the darkness”, a quote I found quite illuminating. * The last time I cursed the...
Elvis had some double trouble* and so did Lynyrd Skynyrd,** and last night the Blue Jays had some too. Now it looks like Rouge River has some brewing. As in their Fresh Nectar Double Hazy IPA coming in at double the ABV of my last brewskie encounter with a dear old...

Another toast to the coast with the most. No Vancouver, we aren’t talking about you, not everything is about you, you know. We’re talking the Rock. No Dwayne Johnson, we aren’t talking about you, not everything is about you, you know. The Rock as in Newfoundland, and...
I don’t know if you’ve been following the news but it’s a crazy world out there. The LCBO on strike, your local super market and corner store selling beer. A helpful beer store employee told me he got yelled at the other day by someone because they don’t sell wine at...
Chasing the grandkids all weekend, swimming, boating, fishing. Whipping up some Chef-Roy-ardee delights on the old BBQ. Dogs and burgs, burnt and crispy on the bun, char-nished and garnished garishly. By the end of the day I was beat like a Neil Peart* drum and...
