I found a parking space on what some claim to be the most refreshing street in Canada, that some being Brock Street Brewery and that street being Brock Street. We have sampled some BS beers before. That didn’t sound right, did it? Let’s try that again. We have sampled...
Another trip to the far east. No, I’m not talking about the one with the Great Wall, I’m talking about the one with the great times. The far east of Canada that is, Port Rexton Newfoundland.* Back by the bay for a back to basics Baycation Blonde. Robinhood Bay, by...
A bootleg recording is an audio or video recording of a performance not officially released by the artist or under other legal authority. Making and distributing such recordings is known as bootlegging. I checked my record collection and found a couple of interesting...
You’ve got your Doobie Brothers, and the Allman Brothers, there’s the BeeGees and Dire Straits, and the Police. How about the Kinks or the Beach Boys, ACDC and INXS too.* Time to add another brother supergroup to that list, the Brothers MacKinnon. Yep, there’s some...

Summertime seems perfect to try a Golden Ale. So last time at the cottage, I cracked into this Golden Ale from Trestle Brewing company. The art work on the can screams summer, with boats, docks, islands and the bright yellow colour and pouring it into my frosted glass...
Another toast to the coast with the most. No Vancouver, we aren’t talking about you, not everything is about you, you know. We’re talking the Rock. No Dwayne Johnson, we aren’t talking about you, not everything is about you, you know. The Rock as in Newfoundland, and...
The Decew Falls Brewing Co Historic Society is once again taking us on a visit to a local heritage site. We are visiting the mill that resides on and is powered by Decew Falls (the falls, not the brewery). Morningstar Mill is named after Wilson Morningstar, who...
