Scottish word association time. Aye aye aye aye, I am the Scottish bandito.* “If you don’t eat yer meat you can’t have any pudding. How can you have any pudding if you don’t eat yer meat.?” I seem to remember that bit of Scottish verbiage from Pink Floyd’s school...
The Department of Morality always sees a likeness in any newborn. “Oh, he has his father’s eyes” or “doesn’t she look like Aunt Iris”. I just don’t get it. To me every baby looks like Winston Churchill, especially if they are filling their pampers (the baby, not...
Another offering from our a Swedish gypsy brewer Omnipollo* was my wing can for the bud’s season opener last night. Another Swede, Nylander,** contributed to an exciting win over the much hated Habs. But the hat trick hero of the night was Matthews who was shooting,...
After 149 ales, 37 ambers (love me an Amber), 29 draft, 218 IPAs, 197 lagers, 36 lite beers, 66 pale ales, 53 pilsners, 16 porters, 61 stouts, 15 wheat beers and 17 other assorted sours and saisons, sometimes you just want a beer. But not just any beer. How about a...

Time to put some Crank in the tank. Crank seems like a pretty versatile word. As a noun it could be the crank shaft in your car, an annoying eccentric person, a bad-tempered grouch, or an impure form of crystal meth! As a verb you can crank a crank and you can crank...
Just passing through for another downtown K-Town brew review. Look out, there’s Something is in the Water! Could it be a frighteningly real mechanical shark, a modern day Moby Dick? Or Jaqueline Bisset in her scuba gear? Or Hasselhoff and Anderson saving another...
Telling the tail of a cream ale. A congregation of cranky old craft connoisseurs met at Ontario’s oldest brew pub,* the Kingston Brewing Co. A meeting of the minds with Farmer Steve and RA in attendance. We focused on the house offerings, although there were no “on...
