No umlaut in sight, this is a Midtown County Kolsch, as in Wellington’s county, that being Prince Edward. To earn the umlaut you need to be from Germany so they say, but no matter. Wellington can hold his own, he did OK at Waterloo didn’t he?* Back in the day a few of...
Another trip round the sun and none the wiser for it. I guess making it through a year like this is cause enough for celebration. Not that I need much of a cause to snap the cap on a Merchant Ale House big bottle brew. Jacked & Juicy sounds like another Jack Black...
Merry Xcess to all. It's that time of the year when everything is supposed to be special. What's a beer drinker to do when facing pressure to up their game for the holiday season? ... the answer should be obvious - more beer.* My response was to reach for the...
Time for another West Side Story, but this time it’s Lower West Side and instead of the Jets and the Sharks it’s a far less dramatic and not at all musical brew review. * Let’s see if this one has a happy ending. But this isn’t big apple westside, it’s little apple...

Continuing on our coast to coast toast to Canada from my big screen facing Laz-boy. We have been to the sunny shores of PEI, the rain forests of BC, stampede (and Oiler) crazy Alberta, and good ol’ Ontar-ari-ario. Our next adventure takes us to la belle province. Vous...
That nutty buddy of mine, Bud the Elf on the beer shelf, shows up on Christmas day and makes his preference clear. Looks like a Chestnut brown is going down. Chestnuts r’oasting in a brewhouse kettle, Jack Frost nowhere to be seen, It doesn’t much matter what you’re...
What the hell is a two pad stack you may be wondering. Maybe a breakfast double helping at IHOP? Or your favourite Thai dish? Perhaps it’s the cosmetic surgeon’s “Dolly Parton” special.* If you’re contemplating these and other possible explanations you’re wrong and...
