There is no such thing as a bumbleberry, but I do remember a girl in high-school nicknamed “bumble buns” which of course represents a different food group. That didn’t sound right, did it? Anyway, there is such a thing as bumbleberry pie which is a unique Canadian...
Out on a Saturday evening, March break bowling with the brood. When it comes to bowling the only time I am going to break 100 is on the highway going home, but the alley is licensed so things are looking up, and they have an interesting draft selection which I am...
What do you call it when you are experiencing a mix of anticipation and trepidation? I don’t know what you call it, but I call it sampling a sour. Those high flying monkeys tell us that this brew has “velvety bubbles in fruity magenta buoyancy with tart gamay quips...
When you are young you are consumed by wanderlust. Then you start to settle down and wander less. The next stage is wanderlost, our topic today and a fitting one for a cranky old man. When the GPS is acting up I’ll be damned if I am going to ask a stranger for...

Maybe this should be called crazy old men drinking beer because after my last sour, and souring, experience I said never again. But here I am sampling a sour and thinking to myself never say never, again. But while sharing my first sour disaster with the province’s...
I picked up this saison farmhouse ale at the farmer’s market in Gravenhurst, which seems to make sense to me. The young lady from Katalyst was so nice to deal with, it was just a small reminder of how great craft brewery people are. As opposed to cranky old reviewers...
I see these sour beers on the shelf and think to myself, what a terrible idea, not for me, no thank you. Then what happens? One comes in my beer of the month club selection. I guess they didn’t get the memo. What memo is that, you ask? The memo that reads “NO SOUR...
