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...

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...
On the way to dinner with the family and the grandkids are bickering back and forth. They were driving me to drink and it wasn't a long drive*. We get to the restaurant and I ask the waiter what's local on draft and he says Wiseacre**, which immediately reminds of the...
I met Gretzky once. Many years ago, he was coaching the Coyotes and we were invited to meet him and watch him line up the team. He was quiet spoken, not a fire and brimstone coach, and when he spoke to those players you could hear a pin drop, he garnered respect. His...
You know how refreshing a Corona is on a hot summer day. With a small slice of lime to fight off scurvy. Well imagine if some how you could squeeze a whole lime down that skinny ass bottleneck, and on the way down that lime was so squeezed that every single drop of...
