At the cottage with no adult supervision, hot afternoon, and its 5 o’clock somewhere. You can fact check all of that if you want. Hot and muggy, seems like an IPA afternoon picnic on the boathouse for one is the ticket to ride*. Just Like Collective Arts Brewery, some...
The other day the missus did a pilgrimage to the mecca of all shoppers everywhere, of course I am talking about Costco. What would this have to do with a beer review, you may ask. Although it was a shopping spree that may result in a second mortgage, she did bring me...
I gave Collective Arts a tune up a while ago for not featuring more Canadian artists on their cans. This one is from Montreal so it looks like they heard me. Consumer activism in action! Danica Olders from Montreal is doing her best Picasso interpretation, I think?...
I had an opportunity to attend a private tasting of an up and coming London Brewer, Weirdo Brothers Brewing, or WBB for short. Now I know "private function" sounds a bit fancy, but this was beer tasting so sign me up for that. The "brothers" are a very down-to-earth...
Ok so I was craving this PEI baby and had to indulge before I could take a pic. Perfectly smooth lager with a light hoppy taste and the murky fluid begs a renaming to ‘piss and giggles’, Despite the current name and the potential rename this brew comes highly...

I remember going to school and all the cool kids wearing jeans and my mother would make me wear those baggy rust coloured corduroy pants because they were warmer and lasted longer. I suspect she also had ulterior motives and was hoping I wouldn’t fall into the cool...
I need to have a word with the CB art director. The can has a picture of a giant astronaut riding a whale. For me this is Surreal,* not sublime. Sublime** would be an astronaut floating through space, tethered of course, with a sky full of stars. Terror would be that...
I have been following this brewery from its humble beginnings when they were located in a small corner building that used to be a car rental agency (that old location is now a cannabis store along with the 999 others in the city), to their beautiful brewery pub,...
30,000 Islands* sounds like someone visited Gananoque and said “1,000 islands, that’s chump change”, and in the ultimate display of one-upmanship claimed to have 30,000 of the things. I guess these days anything with a shrub and a seagull is an island, but back in my...
