Back on the farm for some MacKinnon malt and some home-grown hops. Yep, it’s another MacKinnon Brothers special, this time a Philly light. We enjoyed their bread baking beer sipping Nanna’s namesake, Philomena Pilsner. Could this be another reference to Grandma...
Happy International Beer Day from Mount Urpin. * Ok, maybe I’m a day late and a dollar short but what the hell. Being a day or two late for our anniversary didn’t stop me from taking the missus out to a nice romantic dinner at the local brewery, now did it. The way I...
So what’s new at New Ontario Brewing? Well to start with New Ontario isn’t new and isn’t New Ontario anymore either. What is new is a new name, Wildwoods Brewing.* I made a visit and inquired as to what brought on this name change, because I thought New Ontario had a...
In an appeal to road warriors and RV enthusiasts everywhere, Muskoka Brewers tell us that “home is where you park it”. Hopefully that’s where your hat is hanging too. The spontaneous and destination unknown road trip they describe sounds more like jumping bail or a...

To quote the immortal writings of E.B.White in reference to her famous porcine provacteur, “That’s some pig”.* After saying that I’m not sure what the pig on the can or the beer monging bacon bronco buster at the porker rodeo have to do with this beer. Kame &...
Ever go out for dinner to a new place and it’s so good you want to tell everyone about it? Ever go out to dinner to a new place and it was so bad you want to tell everyone about it? Unfortunately, our date night last night falls into the second category. The waiter...
In addition to the tasty beer, another thing I love about craft brewers is the name game. Fearless and fun names like Long Dark Voyage to Uranus, Gedit D’faKenya, or Juiced AF come to mind. Today I am reviewing a Goose Island " Beer Hug". I thought my puns were...
