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...
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...

I parle vous a bit and occasionally the COMDB translation department lets me have a go at some of the more basic Francais. I did recognize right away the word pamplemousse, which means grapefruit in English. Upon closer examination of the artwork on the can I see a...
Although some have called me a spin doctor on occasion I wouldn’t profess to being a ping pong pro. Now when it comes to shooting pool, I have run the table once or twice in my day, but I always found myself behind the 8 ball when it came to playing for money. Prince...
Well, I thought I would never try another Harrowsmith’s again after a harrowing experience with one sometime back. But I see this one is brewed by Spearhead. A dark orange haze pour with a nice head to it. Smells citrusy, you can tell this one has zing. A biting...
This review just confirms that I have already failed one of my new year’s resolutions. Note to self: focus on challenging but achievable goals, avoid those aspirational BHAGs.* Of course, the name “Kapow!” and the associated graphics are from Batman comics. As a kid I...
