Bombs Away

Bombs Away

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...

Jekyll and Hyde

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...

Blimey

Blimey

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...

Pilsner Perfected?

Pilsner Perfected?

BBQ fired up. Steaks on the grill. Tunes on the deck. Sun shining and a frosty glass with an adult beverage at hand. Why am I smiling? Well, why wouldn’t I be? But perhaps a larger smile than usual because I have just lucked out. I bought this Ace Hill Pilsner to try...

Octoberfest in May

Octoberfest in May

Two German beers in one week. What is this, Octoberfest in May? A German pilsner named German Pilsner. I wonder who won the “name the beer” contest. So I pour this German pilsner (named German Pilsner) and it foams up like it’s a fire extinguisher. A heady brew for...

A pilsner style lager. Hoppy and crisp they say, sounds like an IPA. Can we squeeze anymore brew types in there? I know for sure it isn’t a stout. Might as well just call it beer. Apparently Gravenhurst was a training center for Norwegian Airmen during world war two....

A Bitter Pil to Swallow

Let me start out by saying I am a Mill St. fan. 100th Meridian is one of my personal favourites. Let me also say that I couldn’t give a rat’s ass whether something is organic or not. I am all for supporting the bees, but not at the expense of the taste of my beer. So...

Welcome to Bohemia

Welcome to Bohemia

I wasn’t sure if the name was a reference to some Romeo’s journal entry, or a farmhouse truck fleet? Either one sounds like Farmer Steve’s domain. On closer inspection of the can there is a picture of an old truck so I would assume the later. This Czech* style beer is...

Go To Pint

Wow. What a great Pilsner. The can explains the name, Switchback, a path to the summit for the determined and the adventurous for those who enjoy the journey as much as the destination. My destination was sitting down and drinking this beer, I can’t recall what the...

Clear as a Bell

Clear as a Bell

This beer poured very light golden, almost yellow. A few bubbles but they disappeared quickly leaving a very clear beer. Invisible man clear. A thin white head which lasted about as long as a politician’s promise. A fresh aroma with malt in the background. A nice...
