Ol’ Lynne Anderson never promised me a rose garden, and that’s OK by me. * When it comes to my beer I’ve never been fond of a floral flourish myself. But I suspect Willibald is being more philosophical than literal naming their pale ale Roses Among Thorns. ** I think...
A firm farm fresh peach off the vine, so fine! I’ve had canned peaches that were so heavenly you’d think the Saints preserved them. And when it comes to a pastry competition, a peach cobbler is a shoe in. Peaches are the stone fruit king, I’d pit them against any...
As we have said many times over the years, the artistry on the can and the creativity of the name don't amount to a hill of beans when it comes to good beer. The clan from Tooth and Nail Brewing validate our take on things. The can has a fairly industrial look with...

In school we all contributed equally to the grocery bill, with one exception. When it came to Peanut Butter apparently my consumption far outweighed my contribution * so for me it was BYOPB. Even today my go to comfort food is a peanut butter and grape jelly sandwich....
We’ve made a couple of trips to the Lagershed with Shawn & Ed. Way back in the day we sampled their thermos bottle lager, and much more recently we were back for their black. But tucked in behind the brewery, unbeknownst to us COM previously, * there is the...
My horse sense is limited to say the least. However, I have attended a few triple crown races. No, not in the colonies heaven forbid. The St Ledger Stakes in Doncaster, UK of course. * Ladies with big hats, gentlemen with ties and ascots. I found out that a longshot...
