Sleeman is the only brewer that has the Department of Morality’s good housekeeping seal of approval. Yes, the missus comes out of her self proclaimed prohibition once-a-year for the Superbowl when she sips and savours a Sleeman Clear 2.0, full throttle out of the...
Way back in the day, pre-progenies, me and the Missus visited Amster-damn, I swear. You may be thinking of Holland, but you are actually thinking of The Netherlands. Known for their windmills and tulips, wooden shoes, the Cafes that didn’t serve coffee, and red-light...
Not our first Local Lager but this one is plural, not possessive, and from a different locale. As in Clear Lake, home of….. (drum roll please) THE LARGEST BEER SPA IN THE WORLD! The Muskoka Beer Spa has it all. Pools, glamping cabins, a dump bucket, saunas, fire pits,...
Eliot Ness headed up the prohibition forces way back in the day and busted up more stills than a serial photobomber. It seems ironic that Great Lakes Brewing out of Cleveland (not to be confused with Great Lakes Brewery out of Canada) * has put him on their amber, but...
I’m no expert about the weather so I am not qualified to comment on the types of linings that may be prevalent in a various cloud types. But on a more cirrus note, I’m not sure that every cloud has a silver lining unless of course the cloud has been seeded with silver...
I’m a Flying Monkeys fan. No not those mangy minions of the Wicked Witch of the West that swooped down to abscond Dorothy and Toto. I’m talking about the Platos of the pints, the Aristoles of the ales, the Socrates of the suds, the Kants of the can. Those heavy...
Way back in the day when I was a kid the only shows on TV that I remember were Saturday morning cartoons, Hockey Night in Canada, the Ed Sullivan Show (loved that Topo Gigio) and Gunsmoke. The old man loved Gunsmoke almost as much as he loved to smoke. Let’s put it...
At the Lake of Bays Bracebridge Barrlehouse for a brew and it turned out to be a serendipitous suds sampling. Serendipitous, how so you say, because you enjoy an alliteration as much as I do. * Well, I hand my business card to the bar tender, because when I’m...
Our craft connoisseur RA is on the case with a Haven German style pale lager. RA does not make a decision to not finish a beer lightly. When he is done before it is done, that is almost never done, so you know that a pour poor quaffing is in the offing. Normally I...
I remember way back in the day, a few of us kids on the old cedar-strip toboggan*, aiming for that bump for a jump, flying off that thing and laughing our asses off. No sense and no feeling, at that age. But the luge! 140 kms per hour sounds kinda dangerous.** There...
