As Good as Gold?

As Good as Gold?

I’ve been to more than 20 gold mines in my day that I can recall and a few I probably can’t. I had a Good Delivery bar of gold in my hands, with two Mounties at my side for moral support. * When it comes to beer we’ve had Goldbrӓu, Goldie, and Anderson’s Gold. We’ve...

Lots of Love for St. André

Lots of Love for St. André

Lots of love for St. André because I love an amber/dark beer, and this one tastes great. I like the light alcohol at 4.6 and I especially like that it’s brewed in Ontario * and it’s a great price for such a quality brew. Keep it coming please. *Editor’s Comment: Cool...

Premi-Yum!

Premi-Yum!

Is premium the new norm? I mean we’ve sampled more premiums than Bayer has pills. * Pilsners that are lagers, and lagers that aren’t pilsners, and ales for what ails you. Lights and darks, whites and reds. Canadian, American, Dutch, German, Austrian, Japanese and...

Uncle James

Moosehead tells us that JR 6.0 is “the energy drink of beers – high-octane, high-energy, and high-spirited! It's the funcle (fun uncle) of the J.R. family,” * That brought to mind a joke that JF told at the last COMDB AGM. Q: What’s worse than ants in your pants? A:...

Too Fast to Last

Fast Eddy’s. A river raft run, perhaps? Or a souped-up Edsel. I’d like to think it was Newman’s Oscar nominated role in The Hustler. * Fast Eddie: So why go to college? Sarah: Got nothing else to do on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Fast Eddie: What do you do on the other...

Made in Japan?

Made in Japan?

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...

Bee Hive Survival Guide

Bee Hive Survival Guide

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...

Sigmund Suds

Sigmund Suds

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...

Licence to Chill

Licence to Chill

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...
