I wanted to try this Sapporo Dark Lager imported from Japan but I only buy singles and this one comes in 4 packs. I was commenting (complaining) to the lady behind the counter at The Beer Store about it and she said she wanted to try it too. So I bought a 4 pack and...
When I was 5 I was at a family picnic with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in hand and on face and happened upon a beehive. The old man was stoic about the whole situation “Looks like he’s not allergic to bee stings, good to know”. My Mother and Grandmother debated...
When I first heard the term Freudian Slip it didn’t surprise me at all that old Sigmund was a cross dresser. * I guess it was a big deal back then but nothing to get your panties in a twist over these days. I imagine in private he wouldn’t skirt the situation but...
Bright lights, big city, but if the flash and dash frenetic pace of downtown little apple has you heading for a break down I have the cure. It’s a 220 King Street West step down to a down to earth bar to mellow down and down a cold one before a meltdown. Mascot...
My old buddy JS loves Poland, raves about it and spends lots of time there. Me, I’ve been to lots of places all over the world but never Poland. But you get to a point in your life where you don’t say “someday” anymore. I’ve resigned myself to the fact that I’ll never...

Not the catchiest name I’ve seen for a beer. Certainly not up there with Juicy Ass or Sneaky Weasel (30% sneakier) that’s for sure. But the name appears to be the yeast of our worries. Time to break it down. Niagara College Teaching Brewery (NCTB) brewed a beer for...
JT: Coming back from Costa Rica to freezing cold and Dry February is quite an adjustment. Me: I can handle the cold. Once again, I didn’t get the Dry February memo. It appears that Farmer Steve didn’t receive it either. If RA got it, I’m sure it went straight into the...
The dark light. A rare bird indeed but not our first one. The Grist served one up, with a fine meal. And we read about one in Beyond the Pale’s Evening Edition complete with an oxymoron overdose.* A common misconception is dark beer equates to strong beer but one of...
The Editor is fully aware how I adore an alliteration, so he wasn’t at all surprised that I had a bite and brew at the Bath based Beachside BBQ bistro. It also isn’t surprising that a place called Beachside has a Beachside Vibe, so I ordered one. A light bright lager...
