When I think of beer maybe I think of Half Cut, but not surprisingly my first thought isn’t clean cut. When it comes to clean cut I picture the opening of The Andy Griffith Show*, Andy and Opie, Father and son residents of Mayberry North Carolina, walking home down a...
According to Oast, unlike Rome, you can build a barn in a day. Then you celebrate with a big ol’ shin dig. And all those friends at the barn raising who helped you with the timber and clapboard and trusses, well you toast ‘em with an Oast. Sounds like a lot of fun,...
Here at Narky Old Gaffers Totting Pints I was gaggy for an English style bevvy, hoping for something brilliant that would leave me chuffed to bits. So I poured an Across the Pond to quaff with my crisps. It seems like donkey’s years since I’ve downed me an Amber. I...
These days Après Ski for me is hot coffee and liniment, but back in the day we knew how to Après. However, this is no post alpine pint, I am just out and about in the little smoke, that being Sudbury, and it isn’t Saturday night. The home of stacks and Stack, so it...
Will this brew render a “Great Scott!* (an expression of wonder and impressiveness) or Great Scott? (an expression of shock and disgust). Old Dog brewers are hoping that this Scottie will be my new best friend. Hmmm. We shall see. A nice hazy caramel toffee like pour...
Monty’s* commemorative brew is from Tomorrow Brew Co., their old name was Old Tomorrow**, but now they are looking to the future. A dark golden approaching amber pour, with a slim trim head. A definite hint of rye in the aroma, and a touch of vanilla, both masking any...
On my way back from my East Coast armchair visit to Nova Scotia after being told to Frig Off, but I always know there is a warm welcome waiting in Bathurst, New Brunswick. Robert recommended a Mulligan from our friends at Four Rivers and there is nothing I need more...
Farmer Steve is so cheap he’s free, so when I told him the price tag on this special edition I thought he would need a tripel bypass. He settled down considerably when I let him know he wasn’t on the hook for his share, since Lake of the Woods had donated this brew to...
Some say that reds and ambers are similar but with distinct differences. Others say the moniker red and amber are interchangeable and the differences are minimal. I say I like me a red but I love me an amber. Don’t get me wrong, I do love me some reds and there are...
A cup of tea really isn’t my cup of tea, but JT has been known to tip a cup. A cup of joe or two is more my go to. Farmer Steve is a caf-fiend, an early morning pot is just the beginning of his typical café day. And Fonger indulges in a roll of “sweet leaf” every now...
