On the can they suggest sharing one. This beer is so bland* I don't want to share it, I want to give it away.  To be fair, if it was a hot summer day and I bought a six pack I would drink one and share the rest with unwanted guests**. R.A.

This Buds for me

This Buds for me

Poolside and the selection of brews is minimal,  so this buds for me. In an aluminum bottle that looks like a thermos or artillery ammo. I guess they don't want any broken glass for tenderfoots to tread on, fair enough. At least it will keep the quaff cold on a...

Visiting our neighbor to the south so I thought it would be neighborly to sample one of their fine brews. But not just any beer. How about one brewed at the oldest brewery in America,  Yuengling  from Pottsville Pennsylvania.  Founded in 1829. Seems like a babe in the...

This Budvars* for You

This Budvars* for You

They tell us over 700 years of brewing tradition has gone into this lager, and that “many connoisseurs find it to be one of the finest lagers in the world”. Big talk, time to back that up with a quaff. Nice golden pour, quite clear, the only haze is a bit of...

Franks or Burgers?

This brew is Mill Street heralding Hogtown’s home town heroes. A Blue Wave for the Blue Jays, World Series back to back champs 1992 and 1993, seems like only yesterday.* Maybe this year they can return to their former glory? I had a pre-season game on the tube so...

An Oktoberfiester Chicken Dinner!

Winner winner, chicken dinner. This Oktoberfest from Collingwood special is my favourite beer of the week! On the can it says strong beer at 5.8% but it isn’t benching 250 if you know what I mean, it goes down smooth. Back in the day a stubby Brador at 6.2% was the...

Definition of premium: Relating to or denoting a commodity or product of superior quality. I guess that is what they are trying to convince us of here. Do you ever get the feeling that the word “premium”, like many other special descriptors (the word special comes to...

Northbound and Down

I remember having a Side Launch Midnight Lager a while ago, dark and smooth as silk, delicious. Well it seems like they put all their smooth in their Midnight Lager, because there was definitely no smooth left for their  Northbound Lager. Flavourful but not the...

Lincoln Lager? Not sure where the name came from* so I thought I would check as to whether Abraham Lincoln ever drank beer. According to an absolutely dependable and unimpeachable information source (Google) “Lincoln did for a time drink lager beer on the advice of a...

600 Years and Counting

Yes, this is a German beer. They claim to have been brewing beer since 1417 (the year not the time) and perhaps this Munich Lager was brewed in some shape or form even before that “by the monks” which is a rough translation of what the name Munich was derived from. ...
