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,...
Couchiching Brewery is in Orillia, on the shores of Lake Couchiching. Couchiching is derived from the Ojibwe word meaning "inlet". In addition to Couchiching Brewery and Lake Couchiching, also in the area are Couchiching Inn, Couchiching Golf & Country Club,...
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...

The name the North Portal is in reference to the entrance to the NORAD North Bay Underground Complex, a bunker built in the 1960's * to house a series of super computers whose purpose was to allow Canada and the USA to coordinate a military response in case of an...
Farmer Steve commented favourably regarding this brewery. He liked that they operated out of an old barn, and he called it “a profit making deal”, which in his vernacular is the ultimate compliment. RA has also sampled a few of their brews but this is the...
Lake on the Mountain makes some very good beers. But they don’t seem to be too widely distributed as I never see them in beer or liquor stores in Ontario. If you get to Prince Edward County though, it is well worth it to make a stop here. I tried their Cream Ale this...
Brunswick makes some great beers .... but it also makes some beverages that are only loosely related to beer. This is one of those. Although the can says it is an easy drinking, hoppy light ale .... It is actually some kind of sparkling fruit drink with some beer...
