A brunch brew for the Crownsmen crew on another thirsty Thursday show. We didn’t solve many of the pressing problems the world faces today, unlike our usual shows. Our keen observations, amazing insights and implementable solutions are usually driven by 5% plus...
"Oh, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet" so said Rudyard Kipling * long before Muskoka brewed this bicoastal toast to East and West. The brew name reminded me of Howard Hughes, or is that Hugh Hefner? I always get those two confused. One...
I was preparing for that reliable sign of spring arrival. Not the Cherry blossom festival. Not the tune-up on the lawn mower. No, this is the seasonal Toronto Maple Leaf disintegration in the Stanley Cup playoffs. There is always a glimmer of hope and I wanted a good...

Calabogie Brewing is encouraging us to “discover new horizons” with this beer, which seems apropos since we have reviewed another Horizon brew previously. Having a different Horizon would certainly expand my horizons, double them actually. Then again, isn’t there...
