Don’t Eat the Sushi

Don’t Eat the Sushi

If you are at a Japanese restaurant beware of a dish they call "sushi". I had to send mine back, it was raw. But if you are at a Japanese restaurant of any repute they may have a Sapporo for you, certainly a healthier choice than raw fish. A Sapporo Premium* to be...

A Gluten for Punishment

A Gluten for Punishment

I get easily confused these days.  It says this lager is brewed in Spain but for some reason Moosehead is in the mix somehow? “The most award winning gluten free beer in the world” according to their website.  But on the label it says, and I quote ” This product is...

A DAB in the Dark

A DAB in the Dark

Cheering on my beloved buds tonight with a brewed in Germany Dortmunder Dark. And in the immortal words of Arte Johnson’s German character on Laugh-In*, this beer is  “veeery interesting”. Dab’s dark lager pours very dark with a nice whitish tan head. Light aroma, a...

Draft or Draught?

Draft or Draught?

We used to order trays of cheap draft (I think it used to be spelled draught) in a bar where the entertainment was the guy drunker than you were, and occasionally the entertainment was you. You ordered draft (or draught), a tray was as many glasses as could fit on the...

7 Fewer Politicians gets my Vote

It took me longer to type the name of this beer than it did to write the rest of the review! A Czech Dark Lager, sounds delicious. There is a long drawn out story of how in the 1400’s seven politicians were thrown from an upper floor window, and so on and so forth....

Where did I put that boat?

Lost Craft breweries. Reminded me of that movie, won a couple of awards, with Leo and Kate freezing their asses off. That’s right, Titanic. I lost a boat once too and I think there was some beer involved in that fiasco, but that’s another story. The name Revivale...

A Dark and Mysterious Wild Boar

As I poured this beer I thought to myself, this is dark. There may be fifty shades of grey but there is one shade of dark. How dark you ask. Dark as my darkest thoughts*, well not quite that dark, but pretty dark! They have a warthog (a Pumbaa for those Disney movie...

Head of the Country

Head of the Country

Big bubbles, no troubles. A heady brew throughout and slightly hazy.  I seem to remember the editor* had a Beau's Lager Ale on draft a few years ago and called it a confused brew. Now they have an amber lagered Ale, more confusion.  Dry with a clean finish, a bit...

Hay Fever

Hay Fever

I like international beers. Why is that you ask. Is it the unique flavours, the centuries of brewing tradition, the care and craftsmanship that goes into every beer? Nope. It is the extra 27ml I get in every can of beer versus a North American can of beer. Bonus beer!...

Tractor Pull

Tractor Pull

Another damn umlaut. What is this, German as a second language week? At least I know what it is now. Pronounce it “Mares Tsen” they tell me. How the hell do you pronounce “Tsen”? Beau’s Night Märzen can has a full moon over the barn with a tractor parked right there....
