After sampling a biere from the land of Brador and 3am last calls, our coast to coast Canada toast now takes us to the province of Ontari-ari-ari-o. Home of the World Champion Raptors, the World Champion Blue Jays, and the Toronto Maple Leafs. When I was a kid those...
When it comes to sexy the Refined Fool gang and I may not see eye to eye. To me the furry fellow on the can seems about as sexy as ear wax. Of course, when it comes to how you view your brew the old adage rings true. Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder. * One...
A few years ago, one of my granddaughters was working on a project for school. The topic, Harriet Tubman. A February project, part of the Black History month curriculum at the school. I had heard about Harriet Tubman and the underground railroad before but didn’t...
After eating a steak with 5 roofies in it, the tiger in the movie The Hangover was definitely lazy.* The tiger was nicknamed “Tyson” and the story line is art imitating life. Mike Tyson actually owned three tigers cubs at one time and kept one until adulthood. He had...

How slow slow can you go go, don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo. * How about as slow as a slo-mo snail.** Or as slow as a stoner sloth.*** Fonger didn't much care for that simile, I think he said "I resemble that remark." Foghat recommended making it a slow...
With JT on the February wagon it’s up to the rest of us cranky old men to pick up the slack so to speak. And after this high voltage Mohawp triple you may be picking up the Slack. JF has done his part, quaffing a quad the other night. I told the COM that I was trying...
Meep-Morp, Yummo, Squishy and Gloop. The Flying Monkeys IPA box set. Meep-Morp was hyper-hyphenated and flying high. Yummo was a citrus punch in the face and made a crash landing. Gloop? A Breakfast IPA? With “Natural tutti-frutti flavour”. What exactly is...
