Sawdust’s Brew Master visited Czechoslovakia many years ago and remembers the painted Easter eggs (Kraslice) that were everywhere. Those eggs inspired him to brew this Czech dark lager in honour of that memory.  Quite the story. I can’t remember where I left my keys...

All you Star Wars* geeks will recognize the name of this brew. In the immortal words of Yoda (George Lucas actually) “Do or not do, there is no try.” Sawdust tells us that “a long time ago in a brewery far far away a lager was brewed for the very first time….”....

Stella, Stella. Was Stanley Kowalski ( Marlon Brando) making an impassioned plea to win his wife back, * or did he just have a powerful thirst for a frosty brewskie? We would expect the former but you never know. The star of Artois. Artois is a region in Northern...

This is a light, refreshing brew that can be maintained throughout the long NCAA tournament without issue. Light in colour and also taste, it would actually make a pretty good summer beer as well. One of the main claims to fame for this brew is that the can is 568 ml...

Ok, have mentioned this once or twice before, but these Craft Beer makers are a generally forthright and honest bunch. If they have something different about their beer … they usually tell you about it right on the can. In this case the sub-heading is “Flavoured...

When my old buddy Farmer Steve saw this beer he said it must be good since it has a tractor on the can. Well we all know you can’t judge a beer by its cover, so a tasting was in order.  Truth be told  I have chugged-a-lug before, but reviewing by memory seems to be...

I was happy to try out this dark lager from the Harald Haus (don’t you guys have spellcheck). I chilled a glass, when I go to the dark side I like my beer colder than a stepmother's kiss. Lay’s low salt chips (at my age trying to eat healthy) with ranch dip. So the...

I am visiting the dark side again, quaffing another dark cold one. On the can it says “Let the midnight stars light your way to this dark lager.” I am here for the beer, not a fancy-pants poetry reading. I say let the beer do the talking. I like the name, Midnight...
