Black Heart stout was released last year with an advertising campaign blatantly challenging hardcore Guinness drinkers to compare the two stouts “head to head” so to speak. BrewDog and their cofounder James Watt have never shied away from a fight or the spotlight, but...
This review is going to be more confused than usual so listen up. I’m in Vegas and always looking local, so I see a pilsner on the menu, Golden Nites from Henderson Nevada based Lovelady, and it gets me reminiscing romantic so I order one. What comes to me is a crazy...
180 taps! And we aren’t talking about a Fred Astaire Gene Kelly movie.* We’re talking about Vegas, and the Yard House and enough craft beers to put a shiver down my liver. “The largest selection of craft beers on tap in the world!” It’s going to be a long night. But...
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...
