I saw this German Pil in the beer fridge, leftovers from Oktoberfest I assume. Got my pilsner glass out of the freezer and was ready to pour when something caught my eye. It was the letter “H”. The beer is a Phil, not a Pil. What the “H” E double hockey sticks is that...
The winner of Nickel Brook’s beer with no name contest is “Uncle Goose”! Apparently the goose theme was front and center. Here are a few of the less popular entries. Uncle Goosed Me – It was proposed that all proceeds go to the #NotMe movement.* The Goose from...

Kenya, the best big 5 safari country and immortalized by Hemingway, and just like Canada, still part of the British Commonwealth.* Kame & Kettle’s “Did It For Kenya” seems a touching tribute to this beautiful East African country.** On to the beer at hand and in...
