This is a New England high tide, but did you know that New Scotland actually has the highest tides in the world? Yes, Canada has the highest tides in the world at our very own Bay of Fundy, and as an added bonus you get two of them a day. Fact check that Mr. Editor.*...
Wow, 70 IBU. My old buddy JT watches his IBUs like I watch my hockey. Me, not so much. I always thought that IBU was a midwestern university but once again I am incorrect. Apparently, it stands for International Bitterness Unit.* When it comes to International...
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...

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 “strong beer” sticky note on the can of this Oregon craft brew to conform to Canadian standards. A dark golden pour with plenty of head. More than hazy, its cloudy, but with no chance of meatballs. Bubbly pour with a citrusy aroma. A foamy mouthfeel, with a...
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...
