Sawdust City’s toast to Hill Valley’s favourite shopping mall, Twin Pines and that blast from the past Back to the Future.* Come to think of it, Sawdust also brews Lone Pine, which was the name of the Hill Valley shopping mall after Marty comes back to the future. I...
As a kid I heard the old man say “Jesus, Mary and Joseph” so often I thought they were the Holy Trinity. The Department of Morality cleared up that little immaculate misconception for me. But Rouge River is talking about a hoppy holy trinity of Citra, Simcoe and...
I’m not a brewer, that’s for sure. I know a few on a casual basis and they are an interesting breed, and that’s a bit of an understatement. But I think there comes a point where a brewer makes a decision on whether to brew what they like or go for what the public...

All those who wander are not lost, and all those who roam are not Roman. I’ve done my fair share of travelling and let me assure you, the novelty has worn off. Leon Redbone said “home is where you hang your hat.” Is it coincidence, or convenience, that I actually hang...
First of all, I know it’s not the first day of spring. But it seemed like a good spring time brew to go with an Easter weekend. That religious holiday with chocolate eggs and an imaginary rabbit delivering them. Not sure what symbolism is going on here, but when it...
