Fast Eddy’s. A river raft run, perhaps? Or a souped-up Edsel. I’d like to think it was Newman’s Oscar nominated role in The Hustler. * Fast Eddie: So why go to college? Sarah: Got nothing else to do on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Fast Eddie: What do you do on the other...
Even beer reviewers get writer’s block. I took a look at this pedestrian pilsner and couldn’t think of anything to write about. The big blue jay on the can could be a segue into the start of the baseball season. Go Jays go, so far so good. Perhaps I should have...
It was another big beaked bird who was known to intone “follow your nose, it always knows”. Toucan Sam had the unique ability to smell Froot Loops from great distances.* However, we all know you can’t believe everything you see on TV, or in the papers, or on social...
Maybe you’re a little green around the gills after a few too many St. Patty’s Day Sláintes. Time for a little hair of the dog that bit you. That’s right, it’s beer me time again, but this dog is no light lager Lassie, what we have here is a 10% leave us reeling...

Way back in the day, Saturday night was hockey night in Canada! Which of the six teams in the league would battle it out on our 22" black and white screen? Foster Hewitt yelling into the metal microphone "He shoots! He scores!" and the Canadiens PA system announcing "...
Calabogie is inviting us to join them for some winter solstice suds, but that boat left the dock about 3 months ago.* Better late than never is what most people who are late say which is little to no solace for a missed solstice. Better never late is what the people...
The Breakwall boys and girls tell us they are using, and I quote "different hops, malts and yeasts that interest us or happen to wash up on shore." I don't know about you, but I'm not too keen on Lake Erie flotsam and jetsam as ingredients in my beer.* Hopefully they...
I wanted to try this Sapporo Dark Lager imported from Japan but I only buy singles and this one comes in 4 packs. I was commenting (complaining) to the lady behind the counter at The Beer Store about it and she said she wanted to try it too. So I bought a 4 pack and...
