Working Title: Any Time is a Good Time for a Zod Time

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...

Gunsmoke, Maverick and a Handcrafted Lager

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...

A Poor Pour of a Poor Pale

A Poor Pour of a Poor Pale

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...

De Luge

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...

The Choice Was Clear …. Lake

The Choice Was Clear …. Lake

In the Muskokas and I was feeling a tad thirsty, a bit peckish. I was looking for something tasty, so a home cooked meal by Chef Roy-Ar-Dee was not on the table, figuratively or literally. The choice was clear, as in Clear Lake Brewery. A regular COM Oktoberfest stop,...
