From the Rock to Granville, an East to West coast 7300-kilometer island hop. I’m talking about ultra fun Newfoundland to ultra-hip Granville Island in Vancouver. Shops, markets, theatres and improvs, and even a fancy pants high end restaurant (The Keg). And of course,...
From the rocky shores of the East coast to the verdant green of the West, I find myself on the cosmo coast of Vancouver. Talk about green, some of these buildings even have grass on the roof, good thing it’s legal to sell it now. A sun shiny stroll down the promenade...
Flight delayed, time on my hands, looks like a good excuse to sample another Newfoundland brewski. I’m bidding a fond farewell to the Rock and hoisting a hope to see you again soon toast with a preflight pint. Enter the Fighting Irish. Am I advancing my education at...
Lunching in the quaint harborside town of Burlington, and once again I find myself at Pepperwood for a high level meeting of the minds.* I don’t usually mix beer and business but when you are meeting with the creator and head honcho of Mining4Beer, it seemed to make...
Downtown St. John’s, where the Rock really rocks. With all the bars, bistros, pubs, public houses, taverns and trattorias from which to choose, what’s a simple mainlander like myself to do?* I have one word for you. Or is it two words? Ok, it’s two words but together...
Last time I was in St. John’s I walked the Rock for 30 minutes to Bannerman’s on a cold rainy night, passing a number of lively pubs on the way, only to realize that I had missed last call. Talk about cranky. But just like a wasted away Jimmy in Margaritaville,* I...
In town, and out on the town at Town, checkin’ out what's goin’ down. At Town Brewery what is most likely goin’ down is a frosty cool adult beverage. We have sampled a few fine Town brews but I had never visited their brewery before, I guess that makes me the new kid...
The COM got together for a quaff and a laugh and some draft at Daft.* RA played it Coolcoolcool with a Daft pils while Farmer Steve practiced the Timeless Art of Seduction with a jam stand sour. Me, I decided to sample a bid adieu brew named Jon Voyage. Our server was...
I found a parking space on what some claim to be the most refreshing street in Canada, that some being Brock Street Brewery and that street being Brock Street. We have sampled some BS beers before. That didn’t sound right, did it? Let’s try that again. We have sampled...
Bugs knew he should have taken a left turn at Albuquerque.* Clyde seemed to be more adept at signaling right turns.** By the way, if you are one of those no signal Nellies or those late signal Larrys, smarten up, you’re pissing everyone off. On a lighter note, it’s...
