Saturday night and I had a beer in one hand and my salty nuts in the other hand and I was feeling good. Wait a minute, that doesn’t sound right? How about this, I had a snack ready to go and was looking forward to trying this new beer. That’s better. A dark amber...
I couldn’t resist the hockey themed beer and saved it for a Leafs game, and they won again! How about those Leafs! The beer can has a hockey player with a cyclists helmet (a hockey helmet is too tough to draw I guess) handing out food baskets with his hockey stick...
Full disclosure, fall and winter I am partial to amber and dark lagers. I remember having a Barking Squirrel a few years ago. The reason I remember it is the name reminded me of my wife’s yappy little mutt. It’s about the same size as a squirrel but the little buffalo...
Most stereotypes are ¾ BS and ¼ imagination. Anyone who thinks the Germans aren’t a fun loving bunch has never been to an Octoberfest. Hard to be serious wearing lederhosen and drinking from a boot. A few of us cranky old coots attended a couple of those events back...
World acclaimed Asian lager. Award winner in Singapore, London, Paris, Ho Chi Minh City, and a host of other impressive cities around the world. In the immortal and grammatically incorrect words of Shania Twain, “that don't impress me much.” Lots of bluster on the...

I had saved this Gretzky beer for a Saturday night hockey game but that is not how it turned out. What is the definition of apathy? A Leafs fan watching an Ottawa Montreal game. So after one period of that sad performance it was on to March Maaaaaadness in April. The...
Watching the basketball game and quaffing a cold one. I will tell you one thing about those Toronto Raptors, they are consistently inconsistent. Blow out the competition one game, get beat at the buzzer the next, who knows what Raptors team will show up. But its NBA...
The original Stiegl lager. This brew is as Austrian as the Von Trapp family*. So is this lager something to sing about? Brewed according to the Bavarian Purity Laws of 1516 which says only water, barley and hops may be used to brew beer. Starts out with a nice golden...
My old buddy JT asked me if I thought I was helping climate change by drinking a hybrid. I’m not sure about that but maybe a hybrid gives you less gas? Back in the day a carbon footprint was what you ended up with from staggering around the campfire after a few too...
