The latest small batch beers are great at New Ontario, but I'd recommend sticking with the classics. The Bear Runner Blonde is one of their best beers and I'd definitely recommend it over any other beer.

A Grisette?
If you thought that a Grisette was a Memphis Grizzly’s cheerleader* you would be incorrect. FYI the Memphis Grizzlies cheerleaders are actually called Grizz Girls. What kind of a name is that? Sounds like a geriatric cheer squad to me. Why not the Memphis Belles, or...
Loaded on Home Grown
Moving day and I’m not talking about Saturday at a PGA tournament,* I’m talking about packing up kit and kaboodle and heading on down the road. Well, once that big ass moving truck was loaded I thought it was my turn. Alas, permission to get loaded was not granted by...
Twenty-Two Tigers and a Hot Dog
Check out the artwork on the can. Looks like a nice tiger pattern but look closer. Twenty-two tigers and a hot dog? What’s that all about? That got me wondering how old Noah made sure that those two tigers didn’t end up making a few other species extinct on their 40...
Staking a Claim
Time to pack up the mule and head for the mountains? Back in day, that was the reaction to news of gold in the Klondike. Ironically, what seemed like easy money - just pick the gold out of the stream, turned out to be one of the more difficult ways to earn a living....
Sweet on Argentina?
Part of Muskoka’s Big World Small batch series, this one is greetings from Argentina. I’ve been to a lot of places in the world but Argentina isn’t one of them, and to be honest, it’s not on the kick the bucket list either. Let’s see, what’s Argentina famous for? I...
Coffee Time!
When it comes to coffee, I like mine hotter than the hobs of hell, blistered lips be damned. Unless of course it is a coffee stout, then chill and swill is the plan. This isn’t a coffee stout though. It is a coffee dark mild, that being a dark English ale. Not just a...
ABC, The Brewery not the TV Network
Cool night, a fireside ABC brew and a good book with lots more letters in it. I think it is the unauthorized biography of our Editor.* I got to wondering if anyone reads anymore or any less for that matter. Statistics show that readers read the same but non-readers...
Surprise
Took the grandkids out for dinner the other day to a high-end classy restaurant, and lo and behold it was “kid’s eat free day” at Wacky Wings. Nice surprise. How about a non-descript little can of brown that ends up being a super suds brew extrodinaire. That’s a nice...
Saddle on up to the Klondike Bar
Plan A is still intact, the Leafs won last night so they have a chance. Their chances are slim and none and Slim is packing his bags and bought a bus ticket but he hasn’t left town yet. And we all know, where there’s beer, there’s hope. Plan B is holding together...
