As we toast Canada from coast to coast we have made it inland to la belle province. Quebec is without a doubt beautiful, unique, and has some bon bieres aussi. This review was part of our ongoing partnership and videocast with Crownsmen Partners. Day deux from...
Here we have an interesting pale ale to enjoy, and not a moment too soon. It’s certainly not spur of the moment, but it may be momentous, perhaps even a defining moment. But since it is Old Flame and it is Cranky Old Men Drinking Beer most likely it will be a senior...
Do you know what the secret is to keeping a slim trim figure at an advanced age? Me either, I was hoping you’d know.* What I do know is that a bottle of beer is about 200 calories and a bottle of wine is about 650 calories. Just saying. This brew is an alliteration...
A trip back to Dominion City for their Paper Salesman pale. Is this a tribute to Dunder Mifflin and the self-proclaimed greatest boss in the world perhaps? A toast to everybody’s favourite office romance, Pam and Jim. Or a chance to share another bizarre and yet...
Tippin’ the bird to the Eagles, flippin’ the bird to the Chiefs. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a Taylor Swift fan, but I am also a Bills fan. Being a Bills fan I think they got done wrong in their game against Taylor’s boyfriend and his Head & Shoulders quarterback....

Springsteen had some trouble in the heartland, they were badlands for him. CSNY shared their hopes and dreams there. For good ol’ boy George Strait it was the only place he felt at home.* But Blackburn is taking us to a whole different heartland. Bullfrogs not prairie...
When I was in chemistry class I used to reference the periodic table, on occasion. Once in a while. Every now and then. Bismuth? Bromine? * That doesn’t sound good. Barley, hops and yeast, now that’s the ticket. Of course, Beyond the Pale is not listing ingredients in...
Tortuga eh. In spite of myself or maybe to spite myself, I called in the COMDB Translation Department on this one. A turtle or tortoise was the terse response.* It seems they were annoyed that I bothered them with such a trivial translation, but I know for a fact they...
