A Fishy Tale

A Fishy Tale

Hard to know what to expect from a beer named Loch Ness Lager … well, that is except for the Lager part. There is some mystery here as this lager has some definitely smokey overtones. Tastes like a dark beer, but pours with an amber/red tone and finishes with a dry...

Work Hard, Drink Easy

Work Hard, Drink Easy

Broadhead’s slogan is “Work hard, drink easy”. Certainly not as profound as some of the meanderings on a Flying Monkeys beer can, but somehow appropriate for this down to earth beer. For us COMDB I would revise the slogan to read “Work hard, retire with far less than...

Cheap & Easy

Cheap & Easy

To be honest with you I have been avoiding this brew, without good reason really. It has a prominent position in the grocery store beer section, is quite cheap* and seems hell bent on marketing just 100 calories. Probably my hesitance was quite simply that I usually...

Shindig

Shindig

For those who are not in to all the flavours craft beers have these days and are wistfully remembering a time when a beer came in two types  - Lager or Ale, this could be your ticket. This is a clean, clear lager that is easy drinking. IBU is 14 which is pretty tame...

Yee-Haw, It’s a Shindig

Everyone is invited to the shindig, it’s going to be big. Join us at the hoedown to get the lowdown. It’s a rendezvous with a brew or two.  Come as you are, I wish it was an open bar. So Cowbell Brewery has invited us to a shindig at the big ol’ Cowbell Barn. And we...

Watch Your Language

Helles*, well I’ll be Amster-damned. What kind of a profanity laced brew is this anyway? We usually save the profanity for the review. “Hell”* of a pour (bright golden), as one would expect, with enough head to reach the rim. Mild malt aroma, not very pronounced. A...

Going for the Cup

Going for the Cup

Its golf season for 28 NHL teams so I thought a golf themed brew might be just the ticket to commiserate my Leafs early departure from the race for the Stanley Cup. Now they are aiming for the cup rather than playing for it.  As far as my own golf game goes I keep...

On Tap

On Tap

As I poured this Czech Tap Lager I found myself reminiscing about afternoons or evenings (sometimes the afternoons magically morphed into evenings)  at the Tap Room, trays of cold draft in those small pilsner glasses. If you had a thirst on you would only pick that...

A Mexican Lager from Amsterdam

Fishing season started yesterday but apparently no one told the fish that. Today was a different story and the fish were on board, if you know what I mean. For you conservationist have no fear, I catch and release and I even give them a little pat on the back before I...

Flip the Script

Going out to dinner, how about Italian. But not some cheesy pizza joint, we are going some place fancy, like with “Roma” or “Garden” in the name. Classy. I usually order spaghetti with mushrooms because I am such a fun guy. The waiter asks you what type of wine you...
