They cancelled the Late Night show of the Honorary Mayor of Dildo, * can you believe it! But one week later Jimmy was back with a vengeance, literally. ** Me, I’m having a Late Night at noon for a 5 o’clock somewhere brew, no cable required for this daytime drama....
Poco? Odd name for a beer. A tribute to a 70’s soft rock country band perhaps? An acronym of some sort, Pints of Crafty Origins? A short form name for John Smith’s saving grace? * None of these really seemed to make sense. Whatever Breakwall from POrt COlborne had in...
After some fancy pants pints that poured well but didn’t score well, * I could use a beer that tastes like beer right about now. A back-to-basics brew was needed to restore some semblance of order to the universe. How about a Munich style lager, purity laws adhered...
The Department of Corrections sentenced me to some hard labour in the back 10 (I can’t afford a back 40 like Farmer Steve has) and when I was done I was thirstier than a Sonoran desert ditch digger. I reached for the first brew from the lager section of the beer...

The show that treads that fine line between informing and offending, this is the latest edition of the Crownsmen Chronicles. Some controversial (but cordial) comments were made, will the show be cancelled? Maybe the last show? Say it isn’t so! Were we reminiscing...
Oktoberfest is in the air, How I wish I could be there. But since I’m stuck here, I think I’ll have a Helles beer. I know what you’re thinking, why doesn’t he work for Hallmark? I often ask myself the same question. It just doesn’t make sense; there’s no rhyme or...
An old buddy of mine was extolling the virtues of pickleball. “Pickleball, heard of it?” Before I could respond he continued his diatribe, “Great game, ever play tennis?“ I wasn’t sure if he wanted an answer to this question , but there was a long enough pause for a...
