Dessert on Tap

At Clear Lake Brewery answering the dinner bell and you may be surprised to learn that I didn’t have a beer with dinner. I did however have a beer for dessert. After a hearty healthy helping of crispy chicken sandwich I partook in a pint of lactose laden draft dessert...

Out for dinner with Farmer Steve to his favourite Italian restaurant. It must have been an auspicious occasion because despite his reputation for being as tight as a superglued clam, to his credit he paid the tab. Even the waitress was shocked, she said sometimes he...

Sawdust & Indie: 3X a Charm

Sawdust City is one our favourite brewers, so dinner and a brew at their brewery is always a treat. Some new and unique brews always seem to grace their menu, and once again I wasn’t disappointed. Unlike some bartenders, not only were the staff not shy, they were...
