It’s called Butterbeer* and it’s good. It’s not real beer like my Poppy drinks. I got it at a Harry Potter themed birthday party for my friend. We watched a Harry Potter movie too and had cake and candy and stayed up real late. Butterbeer tastes good and fizzy, it’s...
Waiter: Would you care for drinks. Me: What do you have on tap. Waiter: A light beer, an amber, and a black lager, Sir. Me to Myself: (I love me an amber.) Me: What brewer? Waiter: Blackburn Sir, a local brewhouse. Me: (Having sampled Blackburn’s amber before) I’ll...
I’m usually a craft brew connoisseur but if one beer had to be the dark horse of this Newfoundland tour, it made sense that the brew would be Black Horse. Not a craft at all, but a Molson Coors brew which is apparently brewed only in Newfoundland and Labrador, which...
The Baie Verte peninsula is “au couer du petit nord” according to this beer can. What I do know is the town of Baie Verte is about a 6 hour drive North of St. John’s, 7 hours if it’s raining hard enough to float the ark, don’t you Noah. Up here you can watch whales or...

It seemed like the right night for a night light, a bright idea if I say so myself. How about one of the Canadian vernacular. That’s right, it’s Light, Eh! from our Kingsville connection, they say their beers are for those who wander. Does a wandering mind count? I...
I’m a patron of Matron, a connoisseurer of the brewer. A dark with class, is in my glass, signed and sealed from Bloomfield. Yes, from the blooming and booming metropolis of Bloomfield, Prince Edward County. Not to be confused with Bloomfield, Prince Edward Island,...
Bowie was daydreaming about it, Frank wanted us to fly him there, and Niven thought it was a balloon. Pink Floyd was interested in its darker side. Audrey Hepburn scored Oscars and Grammys for mooning over a river. And Bruno Mars was actually talking to it. That moon...
