Where did I put that boat?

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...

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...

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!...

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....

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...

More Bark than Bite

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...

Unimpressed

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...
