The might Leafs against the odious Oilers and nothing less than the division lead on the line. Despite TO pegging the first goal, the next three belong to Conman McDavid and his gang and the boys in blue and white find themselves behind 3 to 1 by the end of the second. Things look bleak for the Leafs but I am quaffing a Tankhouse by Toronto brewery Mill St. and I think that made the difference. In the third, right after I poured my Tankhouse, Tavares sparks the Leafs with a goal and then with time running out Nylander spins the red light to tie the score. In OT death is quick and sudden for the Oilies as Matthews bounces one in to chalk up the win.
Farmer Steve, who is an Oilers fan (I assume from Gretzky days and I don’t mean Paulina) made a comment about the game saying Toronto had “horseshoes up the arse”. Horseshoes being something a farmer might well know about, but only a farmer of a certain ilk would be familiar with them in the posterior. You may be wondering what the point of this “hole” diatribe is. And of course we have a beer to review.
This Tankhouse ale poured a nice dark golden colour. They say it is copper red in colour but it looked like a deep golden to me. Nice and crisp and full of flavor but not overpowering. Just right from first sip to last swig. A very satisfying quaff and a great beer.
So what does drinking a Tankhouse have to do with the Leafs winning the game? Well, when things looked bleak I poured a Tankhouse and enjoyed the game, and my team turn it around and came out on top. Coincidence? I think not. Where there is beer, there is hope!
