The Farmer’s Creed * meets the fisherman’s creed with this light lager. “A feller isn’t plotting schemes. Out fishin’. He’s only busy with his dreams. Out fishin’. His livery is a coat of tan, his creed to do the best he can. A feller’s always mostly man. Out...
A light lime lager, an alliteration addict's aphrodisiac. It was a fine time for a 2.0 lime, here's hoping this light turns out just right. So eager to try this Sleeman special that I find myself conversing in verse for better or worse, and I know there's rhyme but...
Once we found ourselves in the high grass we knew we had a problem that Houston couldn’t help us with. We needed a hero. Maybe a young Kevin Bacon dancing through the grist mill, all footloose and fancy free? Or a pre-mole removal Enrique Iglesias? Bowie suggested we...
A visit to Lake of Bays Barrelhouse, like the stack of library books on my desk, was long overdue. With such an interesting selection of brews from which to choose for you know who to review, I decided to consult the definitive guide on how to pour and score, The...
Most people have one light in their fridge. I’ve got 11 different lights in mine. Yes, it’s summertime, stouts and porters are few and far between but there’s a plethora of light beers on the shelves. It looks like the charge of the light beer-gade around here. More...

The cerveceras and banderleros at Broadhead have whipped up a light Mexican lager with lime for us and in a stroke of marketing genius and brew naming creativity seldom seen they have named it......Mexican Lager with Lime. I guess they had to save some money from...
Jackson Browne and Glenn Frey wrote the song Take it Easy. * It wasn’t until Jackson Browne heard it on the radio that he realized The Eagles had recorded it. The 1972 release was the first of many hit singles for The Eagles, but I like the Jackson Browne version...
If you thought a cowbell light was part of Farmer’s Steve’s living room décor, you are correct. But this review isn’t about his taste in furnishings, which some would call 80’s yard sale ranch kitsch. It's about Cowbell Brewing’s Standard, their light lager....
Many times I’ve been on the lake at last light, and if I didn’t wet the net then often the catch of the day was the adult beverage I indulged in when back on “dry” land. As far as ugly pikes go, they wouldn’t be a “cast” member on my reality fishing show. Too big, too...
