From a lone wolf on the oil soaked foothills of Edmonton, to a very berry tarty party on the Gaspesiénne coast of Québec. My comfy recliner in front of the big screen is getting some air miles tonight. We are back in la Belle Province with another Frontibus in front...
Standing around on one leg all in pink sounds a little Daft to me, as in Daft Brewing, our favourite flamingo adorned brewer. In our review of Cool Cool Cool we went through fun flamingo facts one through four. Time for fun flamingo fact number five. Flamingoes stand...
From the land of the Stampede and the Stampeders (both of them),* Stetsons and the Saddledome. Partake comes from Calgary as a cowboy contender for the COMDB zero percent crown. Now a staple across Canadian and US grocery stores, Partake tell us that they brew “for...
I have received quite a few requests to review non-alcoholic beers. You may not be surprised to learn that all of them have come from the Department of Morality, that being my much better half. Happy spouse, happy house, is the way the politically correct saying goes....

It’s called Butterbeer* and it’s good. It’s not real beer like my Poppy drinks. I got it at a Harry Potter themed birthday party for my friend. We watched a Harry Potter movie too and had cake and candy and stayed up real late. Butterbeer tastes good and fizzy, it’s...
Chilling in Vancouver, and after a relaxing patio pint at the Ballyhoo, the wise and wonderful waitress says to me “Would you like to try something interesting”. I must admit my imagination ran wild for a second until I remembered I was old enough to be her father.* ...
