When it comes to Niagara Falls, main street has all kinds of cheesy shops and touristy things to do, but when all is said and done the main attraction is still the main attraction, The Falls. Always impressive. It also happens to be a point of National pride that the...
Downtown Montréal, time for a backstreet brasserie bière and repas report. C’est la vie. At 3 Brasseurs to partake in a belle province patio pint. Very quick service, I think it’s the first time I had dinner served before my drink. Much later an IPA comes. That wasn’t...
Flying Monkeys brewing an amber, Beau’s brewing an IPA (an upcoming review), what kind of topsy turvy Lewis Carrol through the beer glass * beer brewing world is this? And the name, “Raving Loops of Computer Music” gave me a flashback (memory not chemical based...
The Cecil Shamus Fitzgerald of legend certainly looks like a cranky old man, doesn’t he? Could be from a bad bear wrestling experience, maybe he “tapped” out on a bear hug? Or perhaps a bumpy camel ride. They say a two humper is better than a one humper, maybe they...

This time Big Rig is haulin’ Canadian Amber right across our great country, from sea to sea to sea. That statement might not survive a fact check but it sure sounds patriotic doesn’t it. I am not too sure how far this beer is getting hauled but I do know I hauled one...
In one of the odder Hollywood castings Charlton Heston plays the Mexican lead in the 1958 Orson Welles movie “Touch of Evil”. * Perhaps I was thinking of this while opening a Mexican lager from a North Bay brewer, an odd pairing as well? Much closer to their home,...
Here at Narky Old Gaffers Totting Pints I was gaggy for an English style bevvy, hoping for something brilliant that would leave me chuffed to bits. So I poured an Across the Pond to quaff with my crisps. It seems like donkey’s years since I’ve downed me an Amber. I...
