500 mil of Holsten pil to swill while I chill and grill. Thank goodness for the BBQ, man's excuse (opportunity) to quaff a cold one before dinner. According to The COMDB Guide to the Fine Art of BBQing, well done is well done. So if I want this chicken to be crispy,...
The art work on the can depicts a lone wolf howling at a moon almost as big as the whole night sky. Well not exactly. Wolf howling may be heard at night, but it is not a behavior directed at the moon. Instead, it is a hail to hunt. Which is a smooth syntax segue into...
I was going to try and compose my thoughts on this German Pilsner review tomorrow, but what the heck, I’ll give it a go now*. First thing I noticed is the can has a weird braille feel to it, I am assuming so it doesn’t slip out of your hand when it comes off ice?...
All you Star Wars* geeks will recognize the name of this brew. In the immortal words of Yoda (George Lucas actually) “Do or not do, there is no try.” Sawdust tells us that “a long time ago in a brewery far far away a lager was brewed for the very first time….”....
When I saw the name Big Rig I was immediately reminded of the Stompin’ Tom song Margo’s Cargo. “Margo’s got the cargo b’y, And Reggie’s got the rig.”* Margo’s cargo was a cow, a pig and a truck load of dung. This Big Rig is hauling not just any pilsner but a premium...
This beer disappointed me. Although I only drank it after I had already consumed a really good IPA that had a lot of flavour, so I feel like this has likely contributed to my impression. My mouth was already stoked with full flavours and then this pilsner brought me...
So my old buddy JT (all my friends are old these days) gives me a beer I haven’t tried before. Name of the beer is “Farmer in the Sky”*. What the hell kind of name is that for a beer? A pilsner dry hopped with Citra. Beer is beer so I have no problem quaffing one...
The colder the better I say. Chilled a glass. Chips and dip with it (my recommended food group with a Pilsner, or any beer for that matter). Ok beer. Standard fare. Ok but not A-OK if you know what I mean. Nothing much to write home about, or to write anything about...
I drank this Toronto brewed Pilsner the other night while watching the Leafs beat the Canadiens in overtime, so that could be one reason why this is such a good review. Steam Whistle Brewing, the good beer folks is what the bottle says, Canada’s premier pilsner the...
This review started out with some unaccustomed challenges. First I get the hiccups, then I forgot I had them and when I remembered that I had them they were gone. Then I ran out of chips but still had dip. So a trip to the pantry and I find Pringles. What the hell...
