Barn Burner, Arson Suspected

Barn Burner, Arson Suspected

Last night’s lacklustre Leafs’ lopsided loss was nothing near the barn burner I was hoping for.  Maybe the lethargic loss could be consoled with a Beau’s Barn Burner? Perhaps, or perhaps not. Beau’s tell us that this is “classic amber ale, reimagined.” Imagine that....

A Regal Beagle

A Regal Beagle

How about that beer pic! Three beagle bitters with three beagles at Dr. B’s Beleaguered but not Bashful Beagle Boarding house. If you are thinking to yourself “enough with the alliterations” unfortunately that wasn’t the “b” all or end all. It appears that the three...

Codswallop Old Men Drinking Beer

Codswallop Old Men Drinking Beer

Codswallop? What kind of a name is that for a beer, sounds like nonsense to me.* I remember going fishing with the old man in the cedar strip boat. After we found our spot the mercury outboard got pulled up and the oars got put into the water. For the uninitiated, one...

Huckleberry Hooch

Huckleberry Hooch

Another toast to Thursday with the Crownsmen and the beer of the hour is Fernie’s What the Huck, a wheat based ale with huckleberry and blueberry to boot. I’m no huckleberry hound or a backwoods blueberry and I’d rather have wheat in my breakfast cereal than my beer....

This Sniper Aims to Please

This Sniper Aims to Please

Cross Country Sniper seemed like a good brew to go with a Canada USA hockey game. However the sniping I was expecting was of the puck shooting variety, not the fight baiting kind. The gloves dropped before the puck did and we all waited for a hockey game to break out....

A Chill Swill on Clifton Hill

The Niagara Brewing Company, at the base of Clifton Hill, is Niagara Falls’ number 1 attraction! Ok, their number 2 attraction. Lactose intolerant visitors beware because Clifton Hill is the cheesiest street in Canada. Ripley’s believe it or don’t, 2 haunted mansions...
