From the sometimes sunny shores of the East coast of Newfoundland, our friends from Port Rexton are at it again. Me I’m either chasing my tail or some wild geese, but they’re out chasing the sun. Actively seeking out moments of joy, happiness and positivity, a much...
The Cold Break crew are doing their own version of the iconic 80’s show Miami Vice.* Flashback to the fashion forward show with pastel coloured T-shirts under Armani jackets, slip-ons no socks, with some designer stubble on the chin. I assume the boat on the can is...
Good karma: provide the COM with free beer. Bad karma: refuse to breakdown a six pack for a single sampling (you know who you are).* My experience is most people practice neutral karma, that being do nothing and nothing happens good or bad. As far as this brew goes,...
Bellwoods is offering up this paisley pint of the purple persuasion as a bookend brew to their Green Velvet in what I assume is their colorful fabric series of suds. I’m looking forward to their Plaid Pilsner and their Houndstooth Helles. Maybe a Leather & Lace...
The warm weather is back with a vengeance and that means crushing some picnic table pints, that's right, it's outdoor drinking season. I saw this new offering from Beau's Brewing and the Hazy IPA tag caught my eye. New England style IPAs are almost always delicious...

Back by popular demand, Father’s Day. I tried to get the Grandkids in on the gift giving but they were quick to point out that I didn’t know what I was talking about, that it’s Father’s Day, not Grandfather’s Day.* “You’re cruisin’ for a bruisin’” is what my old man...
Not our first Siren call, we have sampled this UK brewer’s Broken Dreams and expressed our super suds appreciation. But this brew is a whole different kettle of fish. Named after an Italian liqueur*, this one is a strange and compelling combination of grapefruit sour...
After an enjoyable tour of Newfoundland via St.John’s, I’m back out East with a small batch catch from the less possessive St.John, in Canada’s only officially bilingual province!* Une biere s'il vous plait. Viva la difference. No frequent flyer miles this time, it’s...
There’s Juice Newton, everyone’s angel of the morning, or OJ “The Juice” Simpson running through an airport. Dr. J and MJ both had some juicy moves, and then there’s our old buddy JT trying to plead a case at the bar. But you will never, ever run into anyone juicier...
