Crossing the border, this time literally. My mission, to achieve a New York state of mind by scoring some New York State brewskies. To achieve this crafty clandestine caper I have devised a foolproof cover. I have the misses and the grandkids in tow and the vehicle...
On the road and the demands of sunset driving dictated I pull over in Burlington for a Timmies large regular with an old fashion plain (the donut, not me). It was required to help me navigate the hardline haulers and the Tokyo drifters that make rush hour highway...
Out for a big night in the little apple. At the Walrus and time to wet the ol’ whiskers (mine not the Walrus's). It’s draft day but we aren’t interested in a rookie. Calling in a good old Guinness on tap. Hard to go wrong with the classic. A pro pour, wish I could...
Kicking off COMDB Muskoka Oktober festing weekend with a visit to Clear Lake. Six Cranky Old Men, five festers ordering draft, and one ab-stoner who did not go unnoticed by the very accommodating bar staff. “Will you be having a beverage with your meal” was a...
COM1 - “Saturday. Let’s meet for lunch at “Pepperwood”* in Burlington.” COM 2- “Peckerwood!* That’s a terrible name for a restaurant”. COM1: “And bring your hearing aid with you.” COM2: “Ok, meet you at 8”. COM1: “Never mind, I’ll text you.” COM2: “A test?”...

Pinball machines, trivia night, happy hour. When I walked in the door, I knew I was in the right place. I believe the art of the alchemist is to turn malt and hops into gold,* so Alchemy is a fitting name for this Kamloops brew pub. Sitting down for a pint with none...
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...
After a long drive nothing is better than a chilly cold brewski. Before a long drive…not recommended. During a long drive, illegal and also not recommended. Transporting donkeys* from downtown Montreal to uptown K-town, bending that speed limit to the breaking point....
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...
