A Sawdust City special in the magical Muskoka moonlight. Fat Dog is not a tribute to a portly pup or a hefty hound but is in reference to the Fat Dog 120, a 124 mile long ultra marathon in South Western BC. This brew is to support Sawdust’s buddy David who ran the...
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...
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...
An Arctic apple ale from Anchorage Alaska. An alliteration in pseudo cider, how do you like them apples? My favourite son dropped off this brew that a co-worker had brought back from the Broken Tooth brewers way up in sunny Anchorage. In 1867 Seward brokered a deal to...
Another Shillow beer of the month club offering, will we have another mystery brew on our hands today or is this brew in fact an English Ale? A Gloucester based brewery, another Ontario community with a decidedly British name. Gloucester UK * is about 2.5 hours due...
Draft Anderson Cream Ale vs Anderson Cream Ale, which will prevail? Beer war! Which one will "tap" out? Usually I quaff and take notes, last night’s brew, today’s review. But I am typing while tasting tonight since tomorrow is none other than the third annual COMDB...
After a long drive nothing is better than a chilly cold brewski. Before a long drive…not recommended. During a long drive, illegal and also not recommended. Transporting donkeys* from downtown Montreal to uptown K-town, bending that speed limit to the breaking point....
Grinding but not shining through one of those days that feels like a week of daze. But as the day winds up and I wind down it’s time for a stroll down Saulter Street for a beer, and it’s about bloody time. The folks at Saulter are as clear as can be on the can about...
Is this brew as twisted and bitter as Queen Grimhilde? Or Cruella de Ville? Or Scar? Enough Disney references.* Harry and Megan may be a modern day real-life example of twisted and bitter but as they say in the army, no sympathy for self-inflicted wounds. One of the...
A windswept day on the lake for sure, a storm brewin’ and stewin’. Here comes a downpour that would make old Noah nervous. Complete with audio and visual, the thunder and lightning means the fish will have to wait. Let’s see what the cottage library has on the shelf....
