Sitting on the deck of Dalvay by the Sea * on Prince Edward Island in search of sea beacons and sipping this nice blonde local ale is the best way to spend your holiday. Fresh and crisp with a bit of a hoppy after taste, just the way I like it.
Did you know that Belgium can do more than waffles and chocolate and claim to be where Dr. Evil *was raised? I didn’t, but apparently there are over 1200 types of beer brewed in the country which equates to a different type of beer for every 25.57 square kilometers of...
My daughter-in-law was visiting and is going gluten free (are blueberry muffins gluten free?) and being a good host I made a gluten free addition to the beer fridge. From the fabled town of Glutenberg, capital of the Free State of Gluten, comes this Glutenberg...
Smith Falls* Ontario. South of Highway 7. The third degree is what I get from the Morality Department (the missus) after a weekend at JT’s cottage, but I am guessing the brewery name Four Degrees is about the four owners all graduating from university and using their...
I doubt that beer, even really good beer, has ever played a prominent role in sustaining a long term marriage. More likely the opposite is true. So what is a brewer going to tell me about being hitched*. I’ve been at it for almost 40 years and I’ll be damned if I can...

The canoed (rather than caped) Canadian crusader Mr. Canoehead is alive and well in this red ale offering from Sleeping Giant. SG tells us that this brew will “strike you like a lightning bolt….. without fusing a canoe to your head.” If this all seems a bit out there,...

I do love me a nice firm peach, and a peach pie a la mode is to live for. By the way, I never quite got that saying, when something is so good it's to die for? I figure if you die for it you won’t have the chance to enjoy it? Stupid saying. Where was I? Oh yea, and I...
I think it was my old buddy Rick who once said never trust a beer with no head. I might be paraphrasing here but you get the picture. Subtle segue! By the way I think I did a great job on this picture, don't you? Lakeside by the lake side. Unfortunately the picture...
