Niagara Falls?

Niagara Falls?

Some would say Niagara Falls are spectacular, magnificent, breathtaking. Niagara Brewing calls them impressive and awe inspiring. They also say, and I quote that this beer is “as impressive as the mighty Niagara itself”. I think a tasting is in order to fact check...

Savoir Faire Bear

Savoir Faire Bear

Is this bring your Ursus Maritimus to the bar week or what? After an Eisbӓren bock bear, now we are sampling a Boréale big white bear beer. Then there was that polar park pilsner we partook in. Or that high flying great white in flight from Maverick.  I could go on an...

Laker at Last

Laker at Last

Farmer Steve is so cheap he's free, so when he brings a case of Laker to the party that tells you something.  The beer store calls it a " value priced" beer. Waterloo Brewing, * the pour the boar brewers, are also the Laker maker, but keep the brands separate.  What I...

A Glass of Dutch Courage *

A Glass of Dutch Courage *

Way back in the day, pre-progenies, me and the Missus visited Amster-damn, I swear. You may be thinking of Holland, but you are actually thinking of The Netherlands. Known for their windmills and tulips, wooden shoes, the Cafes that didn’t serve coffee, and red-light...

A Local Libation

A Local Libation

Not our first Local Lager but this one is plural, not possessive, and from a different locale. As in Clear Lake, home of….. (drum roll please) THE LARGEST BEER SPA IN THE WORLD! The Muskoka Beer Spa has it all. Pools, glamping cabins, a dump bucket, saunas, fire pits,...

Post Prohibition Pint

Post Prohibition Pint

Eliot Ness headed up the prohibition forces way back in the day and busted up more stills than a serial photobomber. It seems ironic that Great Lakes Brewing out of Cleveland (not to be confused with Great Lakes Brewery out of Canada) * has put him on their amber, but...
