Grapefruit Juice

Grapefruit Juice

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...

Flying Monkeys, Run Toto Run!

Flying Monkeys, Run Toto Run!

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...

Zing of the Dinosaurs

Zing of the Dinosaurs

Cameron relates their strong IPA to the king of the dinosaurs, a huge presence that refuses to be ignored. I think that a T-Rex, with those short arms, would not be too great at telling big fish stories. None of the other dinosaurs would be too impressed with the one...

Good Find

Founders out of Grand Rapids Michigan is inviting me to drink all day. These days I am not sure I could drink all day without dire consequences, both to my health and my marriage. That being said, if I could I would certainly consider their All Day IPA to stock the...

Heady & Hazy Magic

Heady & Hazy Magic

When I saw the name Everyday Magic it reminded me of one of the popular shows from the 60’s, Bewitched. You have this beautiful witch with all kinds of magical powers, and her bozo husband who doesn’t want her to use them. What’s that all about? If that was me I would...

Beta Max

In the late 70’s they started putting movies on tape. By 1980 you could rent a machine and a bunch of movies for the weekend from the “video” store. Why would anyone rent a VCR? Because when they first came out they were $1,500 bucks a piece at a time when a six pack...

A Good Slap in the Face

The other day I was out pulling weeds, yanking up those f*7#@ dandelions. You know what I hate more than yard work? Nothing. I hate yard work with a passion. But it makes for big points with the wife and since I have a severe points deficit*, I do some lawn work....

A Netflix “Original”?

A Netflix “Original”?

No, this isn’t a new Netflix “Original” movie title or a Marvel franchise. By the way, I think Netflix Original is an oxymoron. Isn’t every one of those movies just a remake of an older movie with less expensive actors?  I guess if you are under 40 you probably don’t...

What’s In a Name?

What’s In a Name?

Balls Falls sounds like a hernia to me. Not the most appealing name, maybe they should have a beer naming party? A name may help sell the beer (or not) but it has no bearing on its taste. So taste we shall. First impression, a bit bubbly, but that settled by second...

A Mystical Mono-Horned Laser Beast

Why don't they call them unihorns? Just saying... This isn’t my first rodeo but I couldn't seem to pour this one without a high tide, I tried twice.  More foam than a bubble bath in a PG rated movie. According to the can this beer is “best enjoyed while riding a...
