Things vanilla is great in. Cake, sugar cream pie, tea, ice cream, donuts, air fresheners and yoghurt. Things vanilla is not great in. My beer. Granville Island is a great place to visit in Vancouver. Take a water taxi across False Creek and visit the shops. The...
The might Leafs against the odious Oilers and nothing less than the division lead on the line. Despite TO pegging the first goal, the next three belong to Conman McDavid and his gang and the boys in blue and white find themselves behind 3 to 1 by the end of the...
March Maaadness in April? The championship game became a runaway from the start for Baylor but still a fun game to watch. I participated In some high stakes gambling on the game and I won a US dollar. Bear Runner? They say this beer was named for a fictional annual...
When I was a kid my parents let us have pop and chips once a week, on Saturday night because it was hockey night in Canada. Today I can have an adult beverage of choice, and chips, whenever I want (with the wife’s permission of course), so on Saturday night with the...

On the beer can there is a picture of a nice big Muskoka chair on the dock with a frosty brew on the chair arm. A bit of a breeze, birds in the air, all very summery and relaxing. But what’s wrong with this picture? Let me tell you. In the background there is a canoe...
Keith’s claims to be the pride of Nova Scotia. I would say they are not alone and may have to line up behind the Bluenose, those big old lobsters, Sidney Crosby, Anne Murray, Sarah MacLachlan, and Alistair MacLeod.* Even Sir Alexander Graham Bell was a part time Nova...
Is a red ale the poor (or pour) cousin of an amber? Is calling a red ale Ember false advertising? Or am I just easily confused? If you answered yes to all of the above you are probably right. It may be unfair to compare a red to an amber, but who ever said life was...
Is this another red trying to pass itself off as an amber (see Ember review)? Is it a red or is it an amber? Neither, it’s Ambear. Looks pretty dark to me, I certainly wasn’t seeing red. Nice pour, dark with a bright white head, it looked so pretty I had to take a...
