Quantum Physics Meets Fluid Dynamics

Quantum Physics Meets Fluid Dynamics

Maintaining the space shuttle may not be rocket science but I think they use quantum mechanics. And I did see the movie “Quantum of Solace” but I didn’t care for it in the least.*  But this is no space craft were dealing with here, but Silversmith’s Quantum Coast...

Sun Caught and Going Down

Sun Caught and Going Down

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...

Vice Lite

Vice Lite

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

Good Karma

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,...

Another Colourful Fabric

Another Colourful Fabric

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...

Chute and Score

If you thought that “the big chute” is a hunting safari for poor spellers, or Orr’s score for the Stanley Cup winner,*  you would be incorrect on both counts. The big chute marine railway is actually a rail lift** at lock 44 at Port Severn that transports boats on a ...

Cruisin’ and Crushin’

Cruisin’ and Crushin’

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...

Grapefruit Brut

Grapefruit Brut

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...

Small Batch Nice Catch

Small Batch Nice Catch

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...
