Do you think it’s cultural appropriation when Americans talk hockey? Me too. Big Deal is a supposedly a NY brewery, but in this case the one doing the talking is Canadian. Former Penguin/Coyote Paul Bisonnette is part of the Spittin’ Chiclets* podcast and apparently...
Riverhead has stated in writing that this beer is “guaranteed to put a smile on your face”. Perhaps they are unaware of who they are dealing with. Cranky is the operative word. As in cantankerous, ill-tempered and belligerent. And while we are at it, let’s get...
When I think of Moonstruck I think of a big hair Cher lighting up the screen in a role that seemed custom made for her*, with Dean Martin singing “When the moon hits your eye…”** in the background. Now that’s amore. Is it really acting if you play a spot-on version...
A coast-to-coast toast to the host with the most. Happy Drink Beer Day Canada! I did notice that it is not drink a beer day. Are they are suggesting that a two for one would be more fun than one and done? Or am I just overthinking my drinking? On this auspicious...

Lots to unravel here. First of all a translation of Brava is in order. The COMDB translation department asked me if I wanted it in French, Spanish, Italian or Hawaiian. Out of curiosity and with no foreseeable deadline on this review I said all of the above. They tell...
Coming into Kam-loops and the cabbie, commenting on the recent wildfires, says to me “no more smoke in town” as we drive by a Cannabis store on every corner.* Alanis would call that ironic, whether it was or not.** The “Loops” is a mining and railroad town, and also...
I’m what you might call a lazy fisherman. I’m out on the lake lots enjoying the sunset and the peace and quiet. Nothing bothering me, sometimes not even the fish. But I’ve wet the net often enough and I catch my fair share of pickerel, and some high flying weed hawgs....
Just the thought of delirium tremens had me shaking. And the pink elephant on the bottle is not a reference to Sarah Palin or other female Republicans, but is of course all about the idiom “seeing pink elephants”* or hallucinating from extreme over-indulgence. I have...
