These days camping out for me is a faux fire “blazing” with me parked in my Lazy-boy with some chips and dip and an adult beverage while the big screen takes the place of the big sky. But back in the day we would go cross-border to A-Bay and enroll in K-State for a...
We have established that Henderson’s best is Henderson’s Best, or to put it another way, Henderson’s Best is Henderson’s best. But what happens when you have a fusion of Henderson’s Best amber ale with Palm’s best Belgian amber? You get what Henderson calls a double...
Wellington is inviting us to join them on Pleasant Island. Wouldn’t that be a nice respite on a cold night. But you might want to think twice before booking your flights to the island country of Nauru, formerly known as Pleasant Island. Nauru, population 12,500 is...

Rhyme time for this poetic porter with a visit to the COMDB culture corner. I poured me a porter, Called bricks and mortar. From the folks at Collingwood, I hope it’s good. My poetic license was issued by the DBR.* Hallmark here I come. On their website the...
From the sun-drenched sandy shores of PEI we are now docked in the downpour drenched ports of Vancouver Island. Our island hopping hopfest continues. From green gables to perpetual precipitation, from spud fields to rain forests, it’s a coast to coast toast to find...
