How about those Leafs. Game 4 was déjà vu all over again. Third period, down but not out, broke but not broken, with the fat lady in the stands doing her “do re mi” warm ups. Things certainly looked dire. But just like old Bob Dylan used to say, when you ain’t got...
The ice is off the lake but it’s still on the rink. Playoff time baby. Put up or shut up. Go hard or go home. Goals or golf. Show up and grow up. Put on your big boy athletic supporter. I was really hoping I would see the Leafs win the cup again, this time in colour....
We are Down on the farm* again, as in the Farm League, haulin’ ass to try to get into the big show. Haulin’ lager reminds me once again of the movie “Smokey and the Bandit”** and Jerry Reed haulin lager from Texarcana to Atlanta. We must have seen that flick 10 times...
Last night my old buddy Ian had the Jays, the Leafs and the Raptors all going at once. He had to ice down that channel changer hand after all those games but it was all worth it. Serve up a round in the win column. A TO triumvirate triumph. A toast to the three...
A globetrotting theme started the evening with some exotic international cuisine. Chinese food delivered. I wrote a little poem to commemorate (commiserate) the event (ordeal). Got Chinese food for the whole brood, $100 bucks, that sucks, Did I mention, it was the...

What is this March madness? No glass no class, from the bottle and full throttle. In an executive decision I decided I’m not going to wash a glass for 330 ml of ice cold lager that’s going to go down quicker than a Mike Tyson opponent. And I don’t care what day it is,...
Richard Gere had Julia Roberts after midnight on the grand,* tickling the ivories so to speak. The folks at Grand River Brewing** tell us that this Schwarzbier is just like midnight on the Grand (the river not the piano). With blue herons, and ducks and star gazing....
In the year 1854 Oscar Wilde is born, the Republican party was formed, and the original Collingwood Brewery is established. This brew celebrates that brewery milestone as well as the 8th anniversary of the modern-day brewery. This is a different style of freestyle....
Editor’s Note: It appears that our craft connoisseur RA is on scoop and poop detail in the back yard, and once he gets his shit together, his reward is a pint. Dog shit done. Beer me. Smells like beer but will I enjoy it?* Now I have to find my magnifying glasses to...
