Since I’ve retired I’ve taken great pains to avoid work of any type. But do you know what kind of work I hate the most? That’s right, hard work. And if you think picking dandelions off your front lawn constitutes hard work (I know I do), then can you imagine hookin’...
For those of you landlocked landlubbers who think that slack tide is an ineffective laundry detergent, it’s time for a little West Coast education. Vancouverites who are in tune with the tides will know that slack tide is the time in between tides coming in and going...
Have you ever said to yourself “that’s either a great idea or a terrible idea”? Me too. That’s exactly what I said to myself when I saw a red pilsner on the menu. I had previously enjoyed an SOB dark, a Steel & Oak beer that is in case you were wondering which of...
The COM are in the studio with the crownsmen and crownsladies for the show with the info, the webcast that’s a blast, and the hosts with the toasts. That’s right, it’s another episode of The Crownsmen Show. I was prepared for a tasting I’d been so looking forward to,...

Does a beer name ever stir up long almost lost but not quite forgotten memories for you? Me too! Visiting my grandparents as a kid was always an adventure. They lived in a very small village. Just past the single lane stone bridge that led into town was the General...
KANPAI! Sounds like the final blood curdling scream of a kamikaze pilot descending on his target at the speed of sound. * Or a karate master’s victory cry as he executes the greatly feared fatal and final five finger death punch. ** Maybe the Iron Chef’s favourite...
Back in my day dragons were cute playful things, like Puff the Magic Dragon. Those subliminal messages about marijuana usage never affected us, or did they Fonger? * These days dragons are fire and brimstone 7 days a week, not just Sunday morning. We’ve sampled a few...
