The Baie Verte peninsula is “au couer du petit nord” according to this beer can. What I do know is the town of Baie Verte is about a 6 hour drive North of St. John’s, 7 hours if it’s raining hard enough to float the ark, don’t you Noah. Up here you can watch whales or...
Time for a coast to coast toast. Just finished a Vancouver tour and what could be further from Stanley Park than St. John’s? * Our Newfoundland tour begins with a St.John’s stalwart, an 1892, and what is so significant about that year is the burning question. The...
This Trappist* Orval ale ordeal started out as a foam fest and only got worse. As foamy as it gets and then some. A head so thick it could hold up a bank, and it took more time to settle than a Trump law suit (pick one, any one). Luckily, I was in no hurry, although...
I made a round trip to the bar to pick up three beers for our wrap and tap show. With drink tickets in hand it's equivalent to a free beer round going down, which just so happens to be my favourite kind of round. And when it comes to the show, those in the know know...
There was Uncle Al, the Kiddie’s Pal, always suffering a bit from the 40-ounce flu. The McCartney’s Uncle Al was hands across the water. Weird Al might be a fun uncle, and of course a bedtime story from Uncle Alice may invoke nightmares.* Or our favourite history...
According to Hemingway “In every port in the world, at least two Estonians can be found.”* Sure enough, according to the most recent census information, Port Colborne has 10 Estonians. This has next to nothing to do with this beer review, but who doesn’t love quoting...
Editor’s Comment: Wow a Deadpool guest review! The only really cool Marvel character. One of my heroes. Well, not really a hero, more like an anti-hero. To be honest I’ve only seen one Deadpool movie, but it’s still great to get a guest review from him. Drinking...
Poolside with a peachy pint. Firin' up the community BBQ for some grillin' and swillin', Lord willin'. After a sketchy start we have ignition, and I popped the top on this peachy pop for liftoff. Number four in my Four Peaks trilogy, this golden ale is a fruity...
Need a lift? Well, an updraft, or an amber, usually lifts my kilt. Love me an amber. So when I saw this amber ale Kilt Lifter I said to myself I gotta get me some of that. It turns out this is the beer that got things started for Four Peaks back in 96, and is still...
A bottle of Breakaway Blonde beer from a Boston based brewer, an alliterative ale to be sure. Samuel Adams may have been one of the founding fathers of the USA, but he was no roar in hell when it came to the brewing business.* Not so the case with the brewery that...
