Lights, Camera, Action, it’s The Crownsmen Show, brought to you by Cranky Old Men Drinking Beer. I joined Jerrod and Gaudy, but for this show we were missing Rory! Well, missing is probably too strong a word, let’s just say Rory wasn’t there. Although Rory’s financial...
In 1955 Goldie Wilson was sweeping the floor at Lou’s Diner and telling George “one day I’m going to be someone important” to which Marty replies “You’re going to be Mayor of Hill Valley”. Goldie thinks that’s a good idea and sure enough, 30 years later it’s Back to...
Showtime with the Crownsmen and Jerrod and Rory were in fine form as we discussed some deep thought provoking issues while quaffing a cold one. We were inspired with Cardi B quotes* and a crafty west coast Kӧlsch, a potent pairing to be sure. A Kӧlsch lagered ale to...
Back in the day my grandfather’s porch was a big wrap around with an overhanging eave and a thick white balustrade. Rockers for relaxing and end tables for iced tea and lemonade, maybe a fresh baked cookie or two. Maples in the front yard, tire swing hanging,* the...
You couldn’t ask for a better October Muskoka day than this one. Well, I guess you could, but you wouldn’t get it so what’s the point. * Sunny and warm on the lake with Farmer Steve and his boys, and the fat bass-tards were jumping into the boat like nobody’s...

Not too often you see a Q without a U.* QBrew is not a scrabble approved play, but it is a new brew from Mill Street. According to them, “the only regret we have is that we spent too much time as misguided youth drinking sub-standard ales”. If that’s their only...
How about those Olympics. The games are exciting, with Canadians swimming, diving, fencing, jumping, and throwing hammers and people*, for the gold. I’m not too sure about the CBC though. First of all, their Olympic motto is “Brave is Unbeatable”. Inspirational?...
This Minivan is going like a bat out of hell. Tires squealin’ and peelin’, corners two wheelin’. Is it the terrorists’ Minivan from “Back to the Future” at the Twin Pines Mall, or was it the Lone Pine Mall?* Maybe it’s a brazen daylight armed bank robbery getaway van...
In Scottsdale and quaffing a great Scott at Top Golf. Living the life of Riley, a return to our salad days. For those of you not familiar with Top Golf you're missing out on the greatest innovation to golf since the drink cart. Someone has actually figured out how to...
