Hooked

Hooked

After an unpleasant experience with a liver shiver giver of an imperial stout, it’s time to get hooked up with a heavenly Helles on earth light and bright brewski. And you know what they say, when in Rome do as the Romans do. No, I’m not drinking this in a toga,...

True North Too North

True North Too North

“True North” out of Vaughn. You know what’s North of Vaughn? How about almost all of Canada, most of Europe, Russia, Scandinavia, Alaska, Greenland, Mongolia, and Kazakhstan to name a few places. If you are from Toronto and have never been to Algonquin Park (which is...

Slightly Less Dry

Slightly Less Dry

Dry February, what a concept. I find myself in this self-inflicted purgatory wondering how I got here, when my better half arrives with the announcement "I bought you some beer." My pulse immediately quickened as I leapt to examine the purchase. My mind was already...

Hurrying Too Hard

Hurrying Too Hard

Hard core fans drinking beer at a sporting event is nothing new. So branding your beer for a certain sport only makes sense. At the ball game, drink an “Ice Cold Beer” from Left Field. When the Leafs are on the ice pop the top on a “Get the Puck Out of Here” by Game...

Love Triangle 18 but Who’s Counting

Love Triangle 18 but Who’s Counting

Nothing two dimensional about a love triangle. How many can you think of? How about these. Rick, Ilsa and Victor will always remember Paris. Rhett, Scarlett and Ashley don’t give a damn. Nick,Jay and Daisy and all that jazz. Jack, Caledon, and Rose struck a pose....

Gotta Love Burlington

Gotta Love Burlington

On the road and the demands of sunset driving dictated I pull over in Burlington for a Timmies large regular with an old fashion plain (the donut, not me). It was  required to help me navigate the hardline haulers and the Tokyo drifters that make rush hour highway...
