After an afternoon playing golf with Mr. Mulligan* during which the heat was not beat, I needed an icy cold brewski to banish the triple bogey blues. I came to a cold and crushable conclusion, a sleek slim silver can of Cool Beer in my cooler, as cold as a walk on the...
It’s the first of September and we know what that means don’t we. It means October is only 30 days away and we know what that means, don’t we. Ommpahpah ear worms, lederhosen rashes, and festbier festering. Yes, Oktoberfest looms large. Our friends at Something in...
Decew Falls is at it again. Trying to educate me to local history. It just so happens that my Granddaughter did a project on Harriet Tubman* so I wasn’t caught in my unawares, so to speak. I knew about North Street, I guess that makes me street savvy.* Just as Laura...
How low can you go is an expression often applicable to the COM AGM, but in this case it’s this beer’s ABV. The trend of 0% ABV has been quickly followed with the Micro beer trend, extra low ABVs for those who can’t handle a light beer but don’t want to be a zero....
Happy International Beer Day from Mount Urpin. * Ok, maybe I’m a day late and a dollar short but what the hell. Being a day or two late for our anniversary didn’t stop me from taking the missus out to a nice romantic dinner at the local brewery, now did it. The way I...

For an exhilarating evening activity I thought I would do some deck chair climbing of Moosehead mountain. This Alpine pint is a legacy lager, the original Oland brew,* a 1937 throwback and I'm going to throw one back tonight. I was half baked by the sun all day and...
At the lake, address 007, license to chill. Me and Blue Rodeo lost together.* Enjoying a chill swill, the Helles you say, and I confirm. 2/3 of the way through my brew, I receive an emergency directive from the Department of Morality. It appears our buffalo breathed...
After some down and dirty double trouble at 8.2% it was time to lighten things up with a 3.8% Local Light from Blackburn. A wise man once said “It is better to pour a light than to curse the darkness”, a quote I found quite illuminating. * The last time I cursed the...
Is it an incomplete education or an uncomplete education? Based on my attendance record there's a good chance I missed that class. For completeness you can look for a small library and read every book in it, or you can do like I did and sign up for Niagara...
