Darwin, Pavlov, Gowan. * They all dealt with some strange animals in their day and now we can add Merit to this auspicious list. Theirs is a different kinda animal. The ultra hip Sasquatch on the can may be listening to The Animals or The Eagles or Seal for all we...
If you ever see me running through the forest it will probably be an act of self preservation rather than fitness. I’m much more likely to be doing a beer run than a forest run. The woods are what I drive through to get to the lake to go fishing. There are lots of...
Last night me and Bob* were “Workin’ on a Light Moves, Trying some Flying Monkeys brews, Workin’ on a Light Moves.” Just to be clear, Seger was on the turntable, not here in person, and as far as drinking goes I think he's been dry since 2019, which coincidentally...
I have a passing knowledge of French (I passed grade 10 French) and a tropical lake sounds a lot more inviting than the lake I’m looking at right now which is frozen as stiff as a stone statue. And believe me, decorum prevented me from using some less suitable similes...

After travelling with Collective Arts from Peak to Peak it was time to head for the Summit, but the view was so nice what started as a peak became a stare. Sounds like another Summit Series to me, some peak competition so to speak. Here’s hoping for a similar...
According to Breakwall “The Lock Tender, much like the Brewer, is a solitary folk.” They use words like “curmudgeonly” and of “stern demeanor” to describe the aforementioned lock tender/brewer persona. Interestingly enough, the Lock Tender on the can has more than a...
After a ski weekend with the grandkids I was in dire need of an energy drink of some sort and Rocket Fuel sounded like just the ticket for an out of this world experience. We know that our Old Comrade Frank is one smooth Hoperator so I had some sky high hopes for this...
