Our Blue Jay boys of summer are getting warmed up in good ol’ Dunedin FLA. now, and I am sure the Left Field team are excited for the season to start. A double play can get you out of a tough inning if you’re a pitcher or break your heart if you’re at the plate...
Album covers used to have some great artwork back in the day. An album cover* was 1 foot square and there was some room to ruminate. Today it seems like there is more artwork on beer cans than in the local museum. Looks like this Nickel Brook beer can wizard is no...
I can think of one Pacific dream, how about Vancouver Canuck fans hoping for a Pacific Division playoff run. May the odds be ever in your favour. This year even a Hunger Game pledge has a better chance of survival! * Stockyards has different pacific dreams in mind...
Here is a statement you don’t hear everyday. Thank goodness for the COMDB translation department. They took on “Ubhiya!” and were back in no time, telling me it is Zulu for “beer”. Apparently Zulu is one of 11 official languages of South Africa.* Just imagine the tax...
Sawdust City is one our favourite brewers, so dinner and a brew at their brewery is always a treat. Some new and unique brews always seem to grace their menu, and once again I wasn’t disappointed. Unlike some bartenders, not only were the staff not shy, they were...

A friend suggested I do a Rorschach test. Fair enough, I have my peccadillos and idiosyncrasies, but I wasn’t sure how an ink blot of a butterfly (or is it a wolf devouring Mickey Mouse) would provide insight into my character and its few and far-between flaws. They...
Another rogue trip to Kingsville, wandering and wondering what their IPA will be like. Kingsville claims that their beers are for those that wander, maybe this beer will be the Rosie on Dion’s chest, or will Kingsville be U2's city without a soul?* This brew pours old...
Watching the big game with the Missus, she enjoys the commercials and the half time show, and I enjoy the game sometimes. Rhianna and her future progeny number 2* put on quite the show. One of the first commercials I saw was Ben Stiller and Steve Martin selling out to...
When you are out fishing a missed call* isn’t really missed, now is it. But I am missin’ my fishin’. Back to reality and my last Stockyards IPA was tasty, so why not make it a double. Reminds me of that old Doublemint gum commercial from the 60’s “Double your...
