When I saw the name Chicken Man I immediately thought of Colonel Sanders*. However, the legend of the Chicken Man according to Furnace Brewery is of a Georgetown Ontario resident who used to ride around on his bike (looks like an Amsterdam 3 Speed to me) with his...
Out on the deck, nice warm spring evening and I am firing up the ol’ BBQ. Time to check out some sage advice from “The COMDB Guide to the Fine Art of BBQing”* It says that well done is well done, and never skimp on the sauce (BBQ or beer). It also reminds us that a...
To be honest I have known a lot of Brits over the years and never met one who I would call pompous. And what about those royals? Well I never met one but the wife gets so many of those magazines about them she should be on a first name basis by now. I did meet a Lord...
Man has been searching for the fountain of youth for eons, and here is a Elora Brewing quietly sitting on the secret. It's right there on the back of the can - if you drink this fresh, you won't age! Well, I tried it, and my wife informs me that I'm going to need a...
Great name. I had one watching Sunday night football. This American Pale Ale was OK, crisp, maybe a bit too crisp but I expect that is driven more by the fruit than the hops. I assume you grow accustom to that after 3 or 4. I have one Noon left in the fridge, saving...
I was feeling a little pale and hazy myself last night so this seemed like a good beer to sample. Some may question whether the right choice when you are feeling a little under the weather is to quaff a frosty mug, but I believe that your mental health is important...
Barley Days promises us a hoppy good time with their Brülesque Pale Ale, West Coast style. I must admit I am impressed by this Picton based brewery. I recently sampled and enjoyed their County Style Pilsner. With Brülesque they are batting two out of two for me so...
I have certain expectations with a Pale Ale, which this brew did not meet. Unfortunately this ale isn’t as smooth on ice as the Great One was. In the world of hockey I wouldn’t put this ale in front of the net, I would put it in the corners, a bit chippy and rough....
What we have here is an identity crisis. Am I a pale ale, or an IPA? I can’t decide. I am bursting with Hoppy flavour but trying to be light and smooth at the same time. Maybe I am a wanna be lager too. Or a lite beer? Not as many personalities as Sybil* but darn...
A traditional American Pale Ale, on the market since 1939. Not just pale, extra pale! How pale? Paler than the love child of Jim Gaffigan and Elvira. Paler than a sea-sick albino. Paler than my legs after a long winter. That’s how pale! This is the type of American...
