Editor’s Introduction: This review, by our esteemed colleague RA, who has sampled more craft beers than Dodd’s has pills, has been edited from a text by the reviewer. Some additional information has been added as the editor (ghost writer) was required to “read between...
Hazy Days kind of sums up most of 2021 with the pandemic making days run together and feeling the same for most of us. Cowbell Brewing is located in Blyth, Ontario which I had to check on Maps to see where the hell it was. A village of approximately 1000 Wikipedia...
It’s all there on the label. This beer has a lot of flavour, so much that you can get confused about the taste. At first you taste some fruitiness, then the hops kick in and finally there is some bitterness at the finish. For a session IPA it has an amazingly full,...
Juice Caboose’s packaging caught my eye. Juicy IPA and Strong Beer is the promise. Seems at 6.8% alcohol the second claim is a no brainer. Made by Railway City Brewing Co. Oh I get it....Railway Brewing and prefix Caboose. Not sure why the psychedelic graphics are...
Taking a walk down Mill Street with their pedestrian IPA. Part of their organic line of brewskies. You could call this IPA pedestrian, standard or classic. Since I am a Mill St. fan I will, opt for classic.* This classic IPA is a bit hoppy and a bit bitter, nothing...

I once stayed at a hotel called the Urban Hip Hotel and it was neither. Anyone who is cool doesn’t call themselves cool, someone else has to. The same way that someone who is an asshole doesn’t call themselves an asshole (notice my political correctness with gender...
I have been critical of CA in the past for not having more Canadian artwork on their beer labels, so this time around I must give them kudos for featuring Keight Maclean of Toronto in honour of International Women’s Day. After admiring the artwork it was time to get...
When I was a kid those flying monkeys in the Wizard of Oz * scared the shit out of me. Creepy things. Nightmares. And right up front let me say that for quite a while an IPA was not my cup of tea either. Actually, a cup of tea is not my cup of tea. Since I don’t...
