Chuffed to bits? Hey Sawdust City, what the hell kind of name is that? I sent a request to the COMDB Translation department and their prompt reply was a curt note “WE DON’T DO ENGLISH.” Of course, our Editor is a bit of a know it all* and a show off to boot and I knew...
Summertime*, and the livin’ is easy, and this Golden Beach pale ale from Sawdust City is all about summertime. They say they “have tried their darndest to put the best of summer into each can.” Well gosh darn I hope it tastes as good as they say. It pours as yellow as...
For those of you who think the South Channel is a TV station that features Nascar, Jeff Foxworthy, and Trisha Yearwood’s cooking show, you stand corrected. This South Channel refers to a body of water in Georgian Bay near Parry Sound, not coincidentally home to...

Morris APA is another offering from a small Prince Edward County Brewery, Gillingham. If you like good beer*, and you are in Prince Edward County, this is definitely a location to add to you itinerary. This is small batch brewing with focus and talent. This is an...
Having not been to Benihanas recently my Japanese was a little rusty, so I couldn’t recall what Jutsu meant and had to look it up. According to the Wiktionary it is “a bound morpheme of the Sino-Japanese lexical stratum of the Japanese language.” What the hell does...
