This is a seasonal offering from Revelstoke, B.C. Revelstoke is home to most vertical ski terrain in North America, which explains the skier on the label. To get an idea of what the skiing is like there, check out some of the names of the runs. Kill the Banker,...
When my old buddy Farmer Steve saw this beer he said it must be good since it has a tractor on the can. Well we all know you can’t judge a beer by its cover, so a tasting was in order. Truth be told I have chugged-a-lug before, but reviewing by memory seems to be...
You know where Trestle Brewing Company is located? Parry Sound. You know who else comes from Parry Sound? Of course you do. Number 4 Bobby Orr. Greatest defenseman that ever laced them up. Too bad about that bad knee. After the 76 Canada’s Cup when Orr was limping...
Despite the confusing name Whiskeyjack*, I do like that they call themselves a beer company rather than a brewery. I'm not sure why that naming appeals to me, it just does. Do I have to explain everything? It’s an opinion dammit. According to the can “this beer is...

I had to be careful with this review, you see Farmer Steve is an old buddy and I didn’t want to offend him since he is the sensitive type. So I had to check with him first. I asked him “Do you have any daughters Farmer Steve?” He said “None that I know of.” Well that...
Timmins, the Nashville of the North! Shania Twain grew up there, until she became rich and moved to tax friendly Switzerland. Stompin’ Tom started his career at the Maple Leaf Hotel (not to be confused with the Maple Leaf Lounges familiar to Air Canada frequent...
They call it “Best of the British”. I remember hearing the term “Best of the British” before, which I thought meant good luck. I checked it out, it means and I quote “ to wish someone luck, especially when you do not think they have much chance of success or...
