Lots of breweries are running restaurants that serve beer. But there are still a few chill brewers out there that are running bars that serve food, and Mascot in the entertainment district of downtown TO is doing just that.* A step or two down into a room with no view...
At the big mining show in the little apple. What on earth, or in the earth, would we be mining for in downtown Toronto? Beer of course. That’s right, at the Mining4Beer soiree at the Craft Beer Market. A great evening, kudos to Cameron and all those involved. With...
St.Thomas, the Railway City, has seen a few boxcars in it’s heyday. More than 100 rail cars a day used to travel through the St.Thomas station including the locomotive that hit and killed poor Jumbo the elephant! Does it seem ironic only to me that the most famous...
Arrivederci dry Feb, we’re ushering in an extra dry March with an extra dry pilsner after an extra day February. An upholder of the Bavarian Purty Laws, this Friesisches Brauhaus offering is straight from Jever, Germany* to my glass via Brooklyn New York. From the...
Cheers to Leap Years, an extra day is hard to come by, so I hope you made the most of yours. I sure did. I had a beer. If I have calculated correctly that means I will drink at least one more beer this year than last year. On the other hand, for those like JT...

It must suck to be Goliath. Getting a slingshot to the noggin and then getting your head cut off with your own sword is bad enough, but for time immemorial you are known as a loser, getting your ass kicked by a kid. And documented in the most read book of all time.*...
Another trip around the sun, getting older but trying not to get old. It’s comforting to know I’ll never be as old as Farmer Steve or the Editor’s jokes.* My favourite son must have visited the B-day gift register because he gave me… you guessed it, beer. That’s my...
How about these brew names; Return to Nothingness, Midnight Kills, Born to Die, and Dead Don’t Die (which seems contradictory to the previous beer name). Wow, some pretty morose monikers from these Third Moon guys. Maybe it’s just a phase they’re going through?* Me on...
A sour wheat beer, this could well be the worst of both worlds. But it’s a Lock Street brew, of Dalhousie docks fame. The proud purveyor of Portside Pilsner, the seaside supplier of Seafarer Scottish suds and the bayside brewer of Black Sail. A great brewer taking on...
