It turns out a Brut IPA isn't simply a buffed up version of your regular IPA. No, this is a new type of IPA that is gaining popularity - although I'm not sure why. The Brut IPA from Nine Locks is supposed to be "bone dry, lighter in color compared to other IPAs and...
This IPA came in a Refined Fool IPA Fun Pack and sat in my beer fridge for a while due to my avocado anxieties and some other concerns. When it comes to beer I am not a fan of the fizzy fresca style, perhaps from a bad experience with another “champagne” style brew. I...
We enjoy and have sampled a lot of Muskoka Brewery brews, so I was slightly surprised, a tad shocked, a bit put back, and in general unaware that we had not sampled the Mad Tom version of the Juicy IPA known as Hazed & Confused.* Time to set things right. Hockey...

October 1st and stoking up the BBQ and pouring an IPA by the lake, by Clear Lake to be precise. You know, Clear Lake Brewing, home of the largest beer spa in the world, that’s the one. When JT brought to my attention an article about the largest beer spa in the world...
Illiterate Librarians* are bad enough, but innumerate mathematicians, I mean they don’t even count.** To confuse the issue even more, those refined fools tell us “Trying to find a copy of Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code with the "help" of an illiterate librarian is a...
A Down Under review seems like the right time to give a shout out to my roo wrestlin’ mate from the land of Aus, Barry the Bard, from your seal hugging mate in the great white North. Hope that MAP (Marsupial Accident Prevention) safety plan is working for you down...
