A Half Quart of Dort

A visit to Lake of Bays Barrelhouse, like the stack of library books on my desk, was long overdue. With such an interesting selection of brews from which to choose for you know who to review, I decided to consult the definitive guide on how to pour and score, The...

Broadhead by the Bay

The cerveceras and banderleros at Broadhead have whipped up a light Mexican lager with lime for us and in a stroke of marketing genius and brew naming creativity seldom seen they have named it......Mexican Lager with Lime. I guess they had to save some money from...

One Good Nocturne Deserves Another

Ever the contrarian, I was doing some daytime drinking with a Nocturne. Out for dinner with my wife for life and when I saw AquaNova on the menu, a Vienna Lager no less, I said yes, please. I ran into Brewmaster KC at the OCBA conference and since then I’ve been...

If Only I Knew Then What I Know Now

I perused the COMDB library, diving into the dusty tomes of the archives. Specifically searching the Dewey decimal system 030 section, just to check out some “new” English. There were lots of new editions on the shelves. How about Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary...

Marketing genius, that’s what JT would say. Farmer Steve would call it “a profit making deal”. RA would down one quick and ask for another.  If it’s not Crown Fonger couldn’t care less, and JF would add an extra dollop of Picon to this one. Of course, what I’m...

Van Life Lessons

Van Life Lessons

Apparently “Van Life” is a thing, that thing being living in your van. I thought that was just an initial stage in the career of every country and western singer, but some people actually live in their van by choice. I did a bit of research and as you can imagine, van...
