At the ultimate Arizona tourist dinner and partaking in a pint, with Marshall Pioneer Pepper the singing Cowboy entertaining us. He deputized us to help ensure things didn't get out of hand. Kinda like the Hell's Angel's at Altamont for the Stones.* After a few Roy...
I remember the black light I had in my room as a teenager, with those velvet neon posters. That may have been the beginnings of my appreciation of the fine arts. But a black light always seemed like a bit of an oxymoron to me, like a civil engineer or a cool editor.*...
Another trip around the sun, getting older but trying not to get old. It’s comforting to know I’ll never be as old as Farmer Steve or the Editor’s jokes.* My favourite son must have visited the B-day gift register because he gave me… you guessed it, beer. That’s my...
Some have surmised my love of amber is directly related to an old flame. Unrequited long lost love. Fond reminiscing of what could have been but never was. Broken heart on my tear drenched sleeve without reprieve. Nope, I just love the taste. But I must admit when I...
It looks like Shawn & Ed, the ampersand completes the brand, have ditched the thermos bottle and are back in black with a can full of dark lager. A simple understated and I must admit, sharp looking can of beer. A debutante at the black and white ball, a pretty...

After an unpleasant experience with a liver shiver giver of an imperial stout, it’s time to get hooked up with a heavenly Helles on earth light and bright brewski. And you know what they say, when in Rome do as the Romans do. No, I’m not drinking this in a toga,...
If memory serves me well, I think Farmer Steve headed for the hills, and homesteaded around Caledon back in the day. His trusty Kubota at his side, with the missus and young folk along for the ride. The Ballad of Farmer Steve Come listen to my story about a farmer...
Hard core fans drinking beer at a sporting event is nothing new. So branding your beer for a certain sport only makes sense. At the ball game, drink an “Ice Cold Beer” from Left Field. When the Leafs are on the ice pop the top on a “Get the Puck Out of Here” by Game...
I find it interesting that a country like Scotland, renowned for bag pipes and haggis, which I consider two of the most unromantic things in the world, has their biggest celebration of the year to honor their romantic poet laureate Robbie Burns.* I skipped the haggis...
