After exploring my Regina in depth, we head east to the belle province for a west coast IPA. Racking up some air miles here. I parle vous a bit and in my books “Belle-mere” means mother-in-law, but the girl gracing this beer can looks like no mother-in-law I ever met....
You would think opening a brewery in a building right beside a Catholic high school and an Elementary school might be of some concern for parents. A protest, some PTA lobbying, political pressure, a field day for the press, fueled by a public outcry, perhaps? Nope,...
No Treasure Island theme here, the pirate on the can, and The Haze of the Dead are part of the Deadhead Series of brews. A deadhead may mean a few things,* but in this case Desthil is referring to fervent, fixated and fanatic fans of the 60’s group The Grateful...
Around our house the queen of crafts is definitely the missus, she can knit a quilt like nobody’s business. Me, I can barely knit my brow. I may not be royalty at home or abroad, but I know a thing or two about craft brews. Wellington tell us they are celebrating 10...
Coteau-du Lac, just west of Montreal, and home of Brasserie du Bois Blanc. They pay tribute to the Montreal Citadelle, a former fortress built in 1690 to defend the city from the English, with a Citra hop based NEIPA called Citradelle. See what they did there? Clever....
I’m a big fan of Woodhouse Brewing. For this old man a woodie in the hand can’t be beat.* So to tap into a Woodie Double IPA on the big game night seemed to be the way to go. Unfortunately even though a Woodhouse beer can’t be beat, my Leafs can. Again and again. Yes,...
Just like Anderson Craft Ales, I’m not fooling around this time. Just going to get right down to it. No need for the COMDB translation department, or any comments from the Department of Morality, or even the Department of Corrections for that matter. And I’m not going...
The third and final episode of the Mining Now COMDB Unofficial and verbally sanctioned CIM* Convention Wrap and Tap show. But wait. Can it be? Say it isn’t so. Cranky Old Men Drinking Beer replaced by Grand Dames Sipping Suds? Well I’ll be grand damned. The Grand...
First of all, Frosty the Friendship Dragon looks about as friendly as Drogon, Rhaegal, and Viserion after a battle with the Night King.* As in not too. Then I got thinking about other frosties, Frosty the Snowman (magical), Jack Frost (mystical) David Frost...
The movie lions that came to mind for me didn’t really elicit the fear response. The Cowardly Lion, “I'll fight you with one paw tied behind my back.” Elsa, “as free as the wind blows, as free as the grass grows,..” or Simba “hakuna matata”. * The there is the movie...
