Surreal?

A Lil’ IPA? A lil' lighter, a lil' crisper, a lil’ short on letters maybe? And what the hell kind of name is Gnarnia? Never heard of such a thing. And after conserving letters on lil’ now with a silent G they waste one on Gnarnia? I had to look it up. A slang...

The Devil Made Them Brew It

The Devil Made Them Brew It

6 different hops with 6 different malts and 6% ABV = 666, the number of the beast as per the good book. According to GLB “The devil made me brew it.” Great play on Flip Wilson’s catch phrase from the 70’s, the devil made me do it. I can’t remember if I saw him on...

Larger than Life

Larger than Life

It’s possible that they changed the graphics and look of this brew, but I enjoyed this strong IPA. Jumbo flavour, multiple flavours, yet smooth and delicious. I would have this one again, and again. R.A.

North Shore Winter Drive

North Shore Winter Drive

The North shore of Lake Superior is a beautiful drive three seasons of the year, but it can be something else in the winter months. It gets it’s fair share of white outs that’s for sure. This is the white out that is meant for after the drive. A golden hazy pour with...

Up the Crick

Up the Crick

A little bit fruity for my tastes and surprisingly bland for a strong beer. Strong beginning but weak finish. It is the week finish (weekend) so I can drink more. R.A.

Glad Tom

Glad Tom

Just like the fly on the toilet seat, he’s getting pissed off. What is Tom so mad about anyway? Or is he crazy mad as opposed to angry mad? Hiking through the Rockies with a keg of beer on his back and a map and a fish in his hat, he could be either or both. A...

Lifeboats Designed for Ten?

Lifeboats Designed for Ten?

The Titanic and the Edmund Fitzgerald. Two nautical disasters for the passengers and the crew, but James Cameron and Gordon Lightfoot did OK by them. Then there was the HSS Minnow, a ship wreck where everyone survived but by the end of the third season we all wished...

Cheshire Cat

Cheshire Cat

Twelve cats on the can, but I can’t for the life of me figure out what the name has to do about anything, not even about the price of tea in China. But we all know what Shakespeare thought about names. A nice bright golden hazy pour, sliver of white on top. A crisp...
