My old buddy JS loves Poland, raves about it and spends lots of time there. Me, I’ve been to lots of places all over the world but never Poland. But you get to a point in your life where you don’t say “someday” anymore. I’ve resigned myself to the fact that I’ll never...
Gösser the Austrian. Not to be confused with Gozer the Gozerian (also known as Gozer the Destructor, Gozer the Traveler, Volguus Zildrohar, and Lord of the Sebouillia). It now becomes apparent how important an umlaut is to differentiate between Austria’s favourite...
Not the catchiest name I’ve seen for a beer. Certainly not up there with Juicy Ass or Sneaky Weasel (30% sneakier) that’s for sure. But the name appears to be the yeast of our worries. Time to break it down. Niagara College Teaching Brewery (NCTB) brewed a beer for...
JT: Coming back from Costa Rica to freezing cold and Dry February is quite an adjustment. Me: I can handle the cold. Once again, I didn’t get the Dry February memo. It appears that Farmer Steve didn’t receive it either. If RA got it, I’m sure it went straight into the...
The dark light. A rare bird indeed but not our first one. The Grist served one up, with a fine meal. And we read about one in Beyond the Pale’s Evening Edition complete with an oxymoron overdose.* A common misconception is dark beer equates to strong beer but one of...
The Editor is fully aware how I adore an alliteration, so he wasn’t at all surprised that I had a bite and brew at the Bath based Beachside BBQ bistro. It also isn’t surprising that a place called Beachside has a Beachside Vibe, so I ordered one. A light bright lager...
Back in the day a cold weather lager for us was a Molson Diamond or Brador in February in the field before the high school dance.* Finish it before it freezes. A Deep Purple cover band, with maybe some smoke too, but not on the water. But this Dominion City throwback...
Just like a Ghostbusters sequel, this brew seemed hauntingly familiar. So just like the goose, I took a gander, checking out our COMDB archives for a Blood Brothers deja brew review. It appears that there may be some politically motivated rebranding afoot. I was never...
While JT is quaffing crafts and cavorting in Costa Rica, someone has to hold down the fort and do a brew review, or two. Ok, a few. So, I find myself thrust into the lime lite once again.* Shawn Ampersand Ed treated us to a cherries jubilee brewski previously, now...
Apparently Antler is a fancy pants eating establishment. Sounds like you might drop a couple of bucks there. The bill might be dear, but worth a try if you’re game.They tell us it’s Michelin recognized! I’ve never been to a Michelin restaurant but back in the day I...
