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...
Guinness, the iconic Irish beer, brewed in …..Baltimore? Baltimore? The famous US beer brewing city of Baltimore (note the sarcasm). What the hell is Baltimore doing brewing a Guinness. Baltimore is known for …..I don’t even know what Baltimore is known for, but I...
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...

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.
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...
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...
