I saw this Guinness Extra Stout a few months ago and wanted to try it but they were only selling it in six packs. Unless I am fridge stocking I only buy singles because truth be told, if it’s the dregs I don’t have enough friends that I don’t like enough to foist 5...
Bellwoods is offering up this paisley pint of the purple persuasion as a bookend brew to their Green Velvet in what I assume is their colorful fabric series of suds. I’m looking forward to their Plaid Pilsner and their Houndstooth Helles. Maybe a Leather & Lace...
My first thought was that “shoulder season” was tank top weather. However from 40 years of intense training in the fine art of being corrected, it came as no surprise to me * that my first thought was indeed incorrect. It appears that “shoulder season” in tourism...

A citrusy pale eh. I remember way back in the day when Creemore Springs was a craft beer brewer.* Their beer, they only made a lager, would show up very now and then and would be a welcome respite from the Canadians and Blues that were standard fare. But in 2005...
The big lake breeze transforms a warm day into a cool evening. Perfect for a faux fire and a ship shape stout. Time to sip on a ship to shore Shipman’s for sure. Decew Falls* brewers remind me of Gateway City, both are brewers in love with their local history. Every...
When Joan Jett was questioned about her sexuality she said “If you want to know who I am, listen to my music”. I don’t think Joan Jett has any secrets. I’ll tell you something else that's no secret, C’est What Durham are no nonsense nitro shaken not stirred beer...
