Muskoka had us take a Detour before, a light session IPA that garnered mixed reviews. But if you think a session IPA is off the beaten track, Muskoka is about to veer to the far left (ABV content as opposed to any implied political leanings) with their non-alcoholic...
I’m the big cranky old man on campus today, bellying up to the bar at Niagara College this afternoon. I’m back for a “refresher” course in Beer 101, and today’s lesson is Bock. The 7% ABV brings back some not so fond memories of my marks in physics back in the day. *...
As the review name would imply, this is a good one. No dark or any other shade of fore shadowing required here. There’s a howling wolf on the can, but there will be no lupine laden levity or awkwardly assembled alliterations in this review. * No siree. Just a lone...
When it comes to jobs that result in an early demise, a kamikaze pilot and a suicide bomber both come to mind, if they’re any good at their job that is. But if you want to talk about dangerous occupations look no further than the highway maintenance crews. A sign and...
Last summer Farmer Steve and his two young fellas came to the cottage to lob a line in the lake and have a brew or two too. Those bronzebacks were biting and breakin’ water and the boys hauled in a few of those fat bass-terds. For me it’s my favourite freshwater...

I sometimes indulge, if that’s the right word, in a big brewer beer, just to remind myself how much I enjoy craft beers. Case in point, although I’d never buy a case, is big ol’ Beck’s beer from Bremen, Germany. Part of the Anheuser-Busch InBev. empire, there’s none...
Beer pioneer of the Western plains, Alberta based Big Rock, have been at it for quite some time. * They say you always remember your first, and it could well be that a Big Rock was my first craft beer although I can’t recall. The BR marketing machine tells us their...
Some fun panda facts for you. These white black big back bears spend 10 to 16 hours a day eating bamboo but they don’t get fat. Know why? No, it’s not because they don’t eat cupcakes. It’s because a panda is just a regular bear, as in very regular. They crap up to 40...
The La Trappe guys and gals (Munks and Nuns) tell us to “Taste the silence”. * What the hell does that mean? I imagine cursing in a Monastery represents some kind of sacrilege, but really? I’ve heard the sounds of silence, the original and the excellent cover by...
