A naughty neighbor for me is the guy up the street who lets his dog crap on my yard but doesn’t stoop and scoop. But I guess NB’s reference here is to the most powerful nation in the world, yes it is the good ol’ USA*. I am not sure what the USA did to get the...
I remember as a kid bailing out the old cedar strip fishing boat every morning, is the beer name a reference to this? Or does bailout mean parachuting from a plummeting plane?** Or is there a connection between the firefighting apparatus on the can, Capt.25, and...
Where to begin? When I saw the name Goodbye Gravity I was immediately intrigued. But it is not a reference to the impact this beer will have on you, but rather a tribute to Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield who hails from Sarnia, where the brewery is based. Hadfield...
My old buddy JT reviewed this one a while ago, but I had one in the fridge standing tall and it looked like the right beer for the Sunday Night Football game and an armchair tailgate party of one. Very much an American Pale Ale style, despite the Canuck* moniker. Even...
With all Ontario ingredients harvested from Guelph, Alymer, Bellville and South Simcoe, Muskoka Brewery has dedicated this special edition to all the hardworking farmers. Just like those farmers and our old buddy Farmer Steve too, this beer is outstanding in its...

What could be more golden than… gold? The Sultana Gold Mine was a going concern in the Lake of the Woods area at the turn of the century (1900’s that is). John Caldwell bought the claim in 1889 and made a fortune over the next ten years but sold it in December 1899....
Guess what’s at the corner of Highway 35 and Highway 118. If you were to say a traffic light you would be correct but the answer I was looking for was Boshkung* Brewery, nestled in the hills of Minden. The micro-brewer says they are focused on lakeside brews and...
Perhaps a red to match the festive season? However this poured very dark, more like a dark amber than a red. But when I held it up to the light it came through as a deep red. Is this a hop-tical illusion* of some type? A frothy head, very bubbly but the beer was not...
The sand banks of Picton, the Northern equivalent of a Florida Spring Break? Well not exactly but still a nice place to unwind and drink a beer or two or more, perhaps a Blonde Ale from Prince Eddy. Fresh aroma, nice light bright pour, bit of a foamy top. A bit hazy,...
