If you ever find yourself up the Muskoka River without a paddle, it’s time to head for The Oar. Tasty food, top notch service and an interesting selection of brews from which to choose. And pricing that Farmer Steve wouldn’t suffer heart palpitations over. My last...
No reservation, no problem. A spur of the moment dinner out with the Missus and one of her favourites is The Grist. Some breweries have restaurants. The Grist is a restaurant that has a brewery, and a pretty good one from my past samplings. Quickly seated and settled...
What happens when it’s 5 o’clock somewhere and that somewhere just happens to be here? Well, if you’re a COM it’s time for a beer. Not at all coincidentally, about that time I had entered the premises of one Bridgewater Brewing, where the server’s question “will you...
Stopped by Clear Lake for a brewski and a bite. I drop by here every now and then. I wouldn’t call myself a regular, maybe an irregular? * What’s new on tap is my go-to brew, and Beer Farm caught my eye. They tell us the name of the brew is inspired by the place the...
Every hour we have a beer in our hand is a happy hour for us COM. But when a few of us can get together at Northern Maverick for a brew, during their happy hour, that’s a bonus. In the little apple for the big ball game. It was a defensive battle with some impressive...

What do you call a gastro brewer that is super busy but seats you in 5 minutes with no reservation (at a table, not the bar), provides great service, has an innovative and tasty menu, and a great list of brewed on the premises taps too? A hidden gem, perhaps. Your go...
Back in the day I was quaffing quarts at the Ports. These days I’m a one and done pint partaker in the Port. As in Port Dalhousie. A lunchtime retreat to Lock Street to check out a new brew to review. In complete defiance or maybe just indifference to the calendar or...
I’m a Flying Monkeys fan. No not those mangy minions of the Wicked Witch of the West that swooped down to abscond Dorothy and Toto. I’m talking about the Platos of the pints, the Aristoles of the ales, the Socrates of the suds, the Kants of the can. Those heavy...
The prickly old pineapple is a symbol of good luck, wealth, luxury, welcome and hospitality, fertility, abundance, protection and gift giving. ** It is said to be able to increase confidence and strengthen intuition and psychic experiences. And an upside-down...
