Another art appreciation session from the fine folks at CA. So what’s new? Well, were sampling a new IPA, New England style, with hops from New Zealand. So it turns out there’s lots new about this brew. A thick as a brick pour, carbonated extra pulp OJ style. No...
Once we found ourselves in the high grass we knew we had a problem that Houston couldn’t help us with. We needed a hero. Maybe a young Kevin Bacon dancing through the grist mill, all footloose and fancy free? Or a pre-mole removal Enrique Iglesias? Bowie suggested we...
Dorothy said it best, there’s no place like home. After a mini armchair Eurotour I’m back just in time to celebrate our great country. Happy Canada Day Eh! I’ve done Canada from coast to coast to coast and many pints in between. Canada is big and one way we show it is...
The Beatles, Deep Purple, Cheap Trick, KISS, they all rocked Tokyo. * Me, never been there, haven’t done that, and didn’t get the T- shirt. There lots I don’t know about Tokyo, and now there’s one more thing. Why would Swedish based Omnipollo name this beer after...

One of my earliest memories as a toddler was visiting my Uncle Bill and Aunt Iris. I ended up being the entertainment for the adults because when I tried to say Aunt Iris it came out as Aunt Arse. They laughed and laughed and asked me to repeat her name again and...
It’s not The Oar anymore, it’s Lamorna in Residence at The Oar. * As far as I’m concerned, I don’t care who’s living in the upstairs apartment, as long as the menu has a brew or two that are new to you know who. The food menu is updated too, with some high falutin’...
Montréal based McAuslan provides their take on the West Coast IPA in this St. Ambroise high ABV high IBU high flying bière du jour. We are quite familiar with the patron Saint of beekeepers, having sampled a number of his fine beers. * But will this Eastern take on...
