Taking into account the current situation and keeping in mind the present state of all things, all those things being equal of course, and with due consideration, when all is said and done, at the end of the day more often than not it’s time for a brew review.* Market...
Just filled up at 23¢ a litre, man gas prices sure shot up after that oil crisis.* Bought a six pack yesterday and that set me back $2.80, ouch. Revin’ up the terrible two-tone turbo Torino, slammin’ some Seger in the cassette deck and shootin’ the tube. Rockin’ Main...
That ol’ iron horse pulling out of the Stockyards reminded me of the classic song “Train Kept A Rollin”*. With Jeff Beck’s recent passing this Yardbirds staple is just one of many great songs to remember him by. What Stockyards out of Kitchener tell us is that their...

I think I know what a stone fruit * is but what the hell is a kickflip?** Peach tends to be my stone fruit of choice, as for kickflips, this NEIPA from Clear Lake is my kickflip of choice, seeing as I am not sure what one is so this is the only one I am familiar with....
Great Lakes claims that this brew is “the orange juice or beer with breakfast answer”. I am not much of a breakfast drinker myself although ol’ Kris Kristofferson tells us “the beer I had for breakfast wasn’t bad, so I had one more for dessert.”*. GL also suggests it...
