Rust Red

Rust Red

Lunchtime libations at Rust Bistrobar. * They say rust never sleeps but they aren’t open on Mondays and Tuesdays. ** Their house craft quaff, Rust Red Ale, from sources unknown, led to an investigation by our server who returned with a clue. St. Thomas was emblazoned...

Après Ski Recovery with Marvin and a Gorn

Après Ski Recovery with Marvin and a Gorn

Last ski day of the year and I was hitting the slopes, literally. After a couple of falls that would make the Niagara River jealous, I was looking for some après ski recovery. As I got down to the bottom of the hill, before my eyes appeared, a bit hazy from a possible...

A Center Stage Performance

COMDB riddle time: Q: If it’s still light outside and you go inside how is it that the dark pours in? A: When you stop in for a lunch libation at Flying Monkeys and a Reapers & Mowers dark lager is poured in your glass. A site visit to the fabled Flying Monkeys...

Licence to Chill

Bright lights, big city, but if the flash and dash frenetic pace of downtown little apple has you heading for a break down I have the cure. It’s a 220 King Street West step down to a down to earth bar to mellow down and down a cold one before a meltdown. Mascot...

Some Friendly Banter

Some Friendly Banter

Pedal to the metal, head up, hammer down. Making time instead of my usual practice of wasting it. But I was feeling a bit peckish, a bit dry, with a thirst for more than just knowledge if you know what I mean. So I thought I would put all this high-falutin hands free...

An Ode to Amber

Amber how do I love thee, let me count the ways, Your pore I adore, and what’s more, an aroma of toffee, oft greets me. I love thy caramel malt countenance, your lager sweet innocence, And how you dwell not on bitter thought, but on that smooth finish I like a lot....

Dry February? I Missed the Memo

Dry February? I Missed the Memo

JT: Coming back from Costa Rica to freezing cold and Dry February is quite an adjustment. Me: I can handle the cold. Once again, I didn’t get the Dry February memo. It appears that Farmer Steve didn’t receive it either. If RA got it, I’m sure it went straight into the...

A Beachside Brew with the Beach Boys

A Beachside Brew with the Beach Boys

The Editor is fully aware how I adore an alliteration, so he wasn’t at all surprised that I had a bite and brew at the Bath based Beachside BBQ bistro. It also isn’t surprising that a place called Beachside has a Beachside Vibe, so I ordered one. A light bright lager...
