For some of us who are up there in years, not elevation, an aerial view is the reception we used to get on the old black and white TV from rabbit ears. Lake of Bays has a different view in mind here. So is the view from the top worth the climb? If there is a nice cold...
Boshkung say their beers are focused on cottage living. This one will be quaffed by the cottage fireplace as opposed to the dock. This small batch lager offering poured golden, closing in on amber but not quite there, and clear with a thin light white head. Malt...
Audio visual lager?? I am not going to a film festival for musicals, I just wanted a brew to enjoy during the game. Scan a bar code to check out new music? A bar code for me is the draft menu at the local pub. Doesn’t it all just seem to be some marketing ploy to...
Despite a disastrous tasting with their Scotch Beer I gave Innis & Gunn a second chance with their Scottish Lager, which sounded good. Poured with almost no head, just a wisp of white like the last few strands of hair on a cranky old crown. I remember my old buddy...

What is a hybrid human/alligator doing log rolling (perhaps he is a logger/ lager) on a Northern Ontario Lake? Where does the woodchuck come in? Is he off somewhere chucking wood or did the alligator eat him? What the hell is a triticale? I think need a PhD in...
What the hell is a Rauchbier you ask. Well let me tell you. Rauchbier is a German-style beer brewed with smoked malt. It can be any style, but usually it is a lager. Smoked beer. Maybe this is one beer my tokin’ tee totaling friend IF might go for, he is the...
I love Amber. A great beer, a great name, an adjective, a noun, an alert, a traffic light colour. Got to love Amber. I mean blue is an adjective in terms of both colour and mood, and I guess it’s a beer too, but you won’t meet many named blue unless you know Jay Z and...
