Date night! Out on the town. All dressed up in long sleeves and my best cardigan. Quarter chicken dinner and splurge on the white meat you ask? Nope, we are going uptown downtown, it’s fancy pants tonight. Cashed an RRSP and out to the Fat Rabbit, an award winning...
At the Port House (not to be confused with The Portsmouth House) for a brunch of sorts, as in beer and lunch. A little day drinking is good for your mental health and your digestion so they say.* I spied an Old Credit brew on the menu, which brought back fond memories...
Twas a late night cold and dreary, JT and I were getting beery, Over many a quaint and curious pints to score While I nodded nearly napping, at the window came a flapping And so did a midnight black Raven appear at my door. Where no bird had been before. The...

Cranky old men wearing spandex?* That’s a bit of a stretch. Time for some more armchair athlete antics from the Refined Fool summer beer league. This time from the pint pouring peloton as we follow Queen’s advice and get on our bikes and ride.** When you envision a...
